The proposed Modification No. 2 to Contract No. DCAM-23-CS-RFP-0006 with Keystone Plus Construction Corporation seeks to increase the contract's not-to-exceed amount by $13,385,340, raising the total contract value from $7,587,595 to $20,972,935. This modification is essential for the design-build services related to the Leckie Education Campus addition project, which involves constructing a new 14,500 square foot addition to the existing campus. The substantial completion date for the project is set for January 23, 2026, with the first part expected to be completed by November 3, 2025. The modification also establishes a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of $20,972,935 and specifies that while the certified funding is for capital-eligible items, there is an ineligible amount of $328,004.50 that cannot be used for capital expenditures until operating funds are available.

Additionally, the modification includes a release clause where the contractor waives any claims against the Department related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification. All other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged, and the modification is subject to Council approval and the submission of required materials, including a Fiscal Certification from the Department of General Services. The contractor, Keystone Plus Construction Corporation, is a certified business enterprise with a strong track record of completing similar projects for the District, ensuring that the project aligns with the Department of Education's specifications and adheres to energy conservation standards.
