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 includes expanding backup generator coverage to support the full building load of the adjacent Department of Corrections building. The modification is necessary to accommodate generator redesign and switchgear replacement, ensuring alignment with future facility designs and addressing essential infrastructure improvements. As the increase in contract value exceeds $1 million, Council approval is required for this action.

Additionally, the bill introduces new legal language to amend existing laws, enhancing regulatory frameworks and compliance mechanisms. These changes aim to improve oversight and accountability within relevant agencies, ensuring operations align with public interest and regulatory standards. The bill also includes deletions of outdated or redundant legal language, streamlining the legal framework to eliminate confusion and promote efficiency. Overall, the amendments reflect a commitment to modernizing the legal landscape, enhancing public safety, and fostering trust in public institutions.
