The proposed Modification No. 2 to Contract No. DCAM-24-CS-RFP-0006 with Gilbane Building Company seeks to increase the not-to-exceed amount by $16,278,961, raising the total contract value from $11,504,202 to $27,783,163. This funding is designated for the early release of funds for an additional initial phase of the modernization of Burroughs Elementary School, which includes preliminary design-build services for various construction aspects such as concrete, carpentry, signage, and electrical services. The modification is necessary to facilitate the completion of the Modular Campus and to cover long lead items for the modernization phase. It requires Council approval due to the significant increase in contract value and has been certified as legally sufficient and compliant with budgetary requirements.

Additionally, the modification includes a change in key personnel, replacing the project architect David Leestma with Katrina McRainey, as requested by Gilbane Building Company. The bill maintains that all other terms and conditions of the original contract remain unchanged, ensuring continuity in contractual obligations while facilitating the necessary funding for the project's completion. The modification also establishes a release clause where the Contractor agrees to waive any claims against the Department related to delays, disruptions, or additional costs arising from this modification.
