The proposed Modification No. 1 to Contract DCAM-24-CS-RFP-0003 with GCS, Inc., dba GCS-SIGAL, aims to establish a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of $21,112,874 for the Construction Management At-Risk Services for the Southeast Tennis & Learning Center South Campus. This modification will increase the contract's Not-to-Exceed (NTE) amount from $3,990,000 to $15,990,000, allowing the contractor to expend up to this new limit until further written authorization is provided by a Contracting Officer and approved by the Council. The substantial completion date for the project is set for April 9, 2026. The modification requires Council approval due to the increase exceeding $1 million, and the Department of General Services has confirmed that the modification aligns with the agency's budget.
Additionally, the bill outlines a shared savings model for the project, where any cost savings from the Construction Contingency will be divided between the Department and the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) on a 70/30 basis. It emphasizes the CMAR's responsibilities to manage the project under a "fast-track" construction method, allowing work to begin without final construction documents. The agreement remains in full force unless modified, and it supersedes any prior agreements, ensuring that all parties are bound by the same terms. The bill also includes provisions for execution in multiple counterparts, reinforcing the collaborative nature of the project management process.
