The bill proposes Modification No. 16 to Contract No. DCAM-21-CS-IFB-0002 with Consys, Inc., which seeks to increase the contract's not-to-exceed amount by $3,416,917.62, raising the total from $22,426,442.29 to $25,843,359.91. This increase is necessary to cover additional costs related to general conditions, equitable adjustments, an on-time completion bonus, and further construction services required due to updated site design. The substantial completion date for the project, which involves the construction of the new W Street, NE bus terminal, is extended to October 3, 2025. The modification requires Council approval as it exceeds $1 million, and the Department of General Services has confirmed that the modification is within the appropriated budget authority.
Additionally, the bill includes a release clause where the contractor agrees to waive any claims against the Department related to delays, disruptions, or additional costs arising from this modification. All other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged. The modifications are executed under the authority of Title 27 DCMR Section 4728, ensuring compliance with existing regulations while facilitating the necessary adjustments to the contract.
