The proposed Modification No. 2 to Contract No. DCAM-22-CS-RFP-0020 with GCS, Inc. seeks to increase the not-to-exceed (NTE) amount of the contract by $1,500,000, raising it from $21,450,000 to $22,950,000. This modification will also establish a guaranteed maximum price for the project at $25,009,797.38, which involves construction services for the Department of Corrections Central Boiler Plant. The modification is necessary to accommodate generator redesign and switchgear replacement, as the increase in contract value exceeds $1 million, requiring Council approval. The Department of General Services has confirmed that the proposed modification aligns with the agency's budget and financial plan.

Additionally, the modification includes a release clause where the contractor waives any claims against the Department related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification. The terms and conditions of the original contract remain unchanged except for the specified modifications, ensuring the project can proceed while protecting the interests of both the contractor and the Department. The bill aims to enhance the efficiency and clarity of the legal framework surrounding the contract, although specific details regarding other legislative amendments are not provided.
