The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-22-CS-RFP-0015 with Consigli/Keystone Adams EC Joint Venture by increasing the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) by $1,808,145.72, raising the total contract amount from $70,954,868 to $72,763,013.72. This modification is necessary to address additional costs related to owner directives and unforeseen conditions that emerged after the initial GMP approval. The contract, which was initially approved by the Council on June 22, 2023, involves design-build services for the modernization of the Adams Education School Campus, with a substantial completion date set for July 15, 2025. The bill also specifies that while the approved funding is for capital-eligible items, there is an ineligible amount of $15,929.11 that cannot be funded until operating funds are available.

Additionally, the bill outlines various provisions related to the responsibilities of the Design-Builder, including the requirement to maintain confidentiality, comply with applicable laws, and ensure timely payments to subcontractors. It emphasizes the importance of quality control, project management, and adherence to environmental standards throughout the construction process. The bill also introduces new legal language that mandates coordination with the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) for the latest IT infrastructure requirements and specifies the need for various furnishings and equipment to enhance functionality in educational spaces. Overall, the legislation aims to ensure accountability, compliance, and the successful execution of the modernization project while supporting local businesses and enhancing educational environments.
