The bill seeks to approve Contract No. DCAM-24-CS-RFP-0016 with Fort Myer Construction Corporation for design-build services related to the Fletcher Johnson Middle School Roadway and Infrastructure Improvements project, with a total not-to-exceed amount of $5,977,860. This amount includes an existing letter contract of $950,000. The project will be executed in two phases: the Design and Preconstruction Phase, followed by the Construction Phase, with substantial completion anticipated by May 31, 2027. The contract was awarded after a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process, and Fort Myer Construction Corporation was selected based on their technical proposals, pricing, and past performance.

The bill also modifies the existing contract by extending its duration, changing the end date from June 30, 2025, to July 15, 2025, while maintaining the not-to-exceed amount at $950,000. It includes a release clause where the contractor waives any claims against the Department related to delays or additional costs from this modification. The bill emphasizes compliance with various legal standards, including the Davis Bacon Act and the Clean Hands certification, and mandates that the Office of the Chief Financial Officer certifies the contract's alignment with the agency's budget and financial plan. All other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged, ensuring the integrity of the agreement while allowing for the necessary extension.
