The proposed bill involves the modification of Contract No. DCKA-2021-C-0092 with Cube Root Corporation to exercise option year one, which is set at a not-to-exceed amount of $3,000,000. This modification will allow Cube Root Corporation to continue providing essential engineering design and technical services for the DC PLUG program from May 1, 2025, through April 30, 2026. The underlying contract had a base year amount of $7,500,000, and this option year is part of a series of option periods that are each one year in duration.

The contract modification is consistent with the financial plan and budget, as certified by the Agency Fiscal Officer. Additionally, Cube Root Corporation is confirmed to be current with its District taxes, as indicated by their Clean Hands Certificate dated March 3, 2025. The bill seeks the Council's favorable consideration for this contract modification to ensure the continuation of critical services under the DC PLUG initiative.
