The bill proposes Modification No. 5 to Contract No. DCAM-22-CS-RFP-0018 with MCN Build, Inc., which seeks to increase the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) by $2,339,557.41, raising the total contract amount from $107,686,296.00 to $110,025,853.41. This increase is necessary to cover additional design-build services required for the renovation and modernization of the Browne Education Campus in Washington, DC, particularly due to unforeseen delays in power delivery caused by Potomac Electric Power Company (PEPCO). The modification also includes a stipulation that pre-approval from the Department is required to utilize the Owner's Allowance for capital-eligible items, and it specifies that certain items listed in the contract are ineligible for capital expenditure.
Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the Design-Builder, including the requirement to submit a Final Release of Liens and Claims upon project completion, and mandates compliance with various regulations, including the use of domestic materials and adherence to safety standards. The Design-Builder must also maintain detailed records and provide regular updates on project progress, costs, and compliance with economic inclusion goals. The modification aims to ensure that the project remains on track for its substantial completion dates while addressing the financial adjustments necessary for the additional work required.
