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 dates for the project are set for November 3, 2025, for Part 1 and January 23, 2026, for Part 2. 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 as per District Capital Guidelines.

Additionally, the modification requires the contractor to release any claims against the Department related to this modification and confirms that all other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged. The Department of General Services has verified that the proposed modification is legally sufficient, pending Council approval and the submission of required materials. This project is part of the District of Columbia Public Schools' efforts to enhance educational facilities, with substantial completion expected by July 15, 2025, and final completion by January 15, 2026. The bill emphasizes adherence to performance standards, including compliance with LEED for Schools Gold principles and achieving net zero strategies.
