The proposed Modification No. 1 to Contract No. DCAM-24-CS-IFB-0017 with United Construction Services, LLC seeks to increase the contract's not-to-exceed amount from $5,036,986.60 to $8,489,304.10 by adding an additional $3,452,317.50. This increase is necessary due to a change in the scope of work for the demolition of the Fletcher Johnson School, which now requires selective demolition instead of complete demolition, following updates to the site's Master Plan. The modification extends the period of performance from January 16, 2025, to November 30, 2025, and includes provisions for the contractor to perform various preconstruction and construction services, such as obtaining permits and developing a Site Logistics Plan.
Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities and requirements for contractors involved in the project, emphasizing the importance of timely completion, safety compliance, and adherence to labor laws. Contractors must submit detailed documentation, including progress reports and safety plans, and are required to manage hazardous materials in accordance with environmental regulations. The bill also establishes insurance requirements for contractors, mandates compliance with local hiring practices, and includes provisions for subcontracting. Overall, the legislation aims to ensure that the demolition is conducted safely, efficiently, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations while promoting local economic development.
