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 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 will encompass preliminary design-build services for various construction aspects, including concrete, carpentry, signage, and electrical services. The modification is necessary to ensure the completion of the Modular Campus and to address 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 current project architect, David Leestma, with Katrina McRainey, as requested by the contractor. A release clause is also included, 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, ensuring that the project has the necessary financial resources to proceed effectively while maintaining accountability regarding the use of funds.
