The bill seeks to approve Contract No. DCAM-24-CS-RFP-0016 with Fort Myer Construction Corporation for the design-build services associated with the Fletcher Johnson Middle School Roadway and Infrastructure Improvements project, with a total not-to-exceed amount of $5,977,860. This figure includes an existing letter contract amount of $950,000 and covers the full design fee and related services necessary for the project, which is expected to be completed in two phases, with substantial completion anticipated by May 31, 2027. The contract was awarded following a competitive RFP process, and Fort Myer Construction Corporation was selected based on their technical and price evaluations, as well as their status as a Certified Business Enterprise.

The bill also modifies the existing contract by changing the end date from June 30, 2025, to July 15, 2025, as a no-cost modification, ensuring that the total not-to-exceed amount remains at $950,000. Additionally, it includes a release clause where the contractor waives any claims against the Department related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification. The bill emphasizes compliance with various legal and ethical standards, including the Clean Hands certification, and mandates that all contract documents be made available online to ensure transparency in the procurement process.
