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 increase in contract value is necessary to accommodate generator redesign and switchgear replacement, and since it exceeds $1 million, it requires Council approval. The Department of General Services has confirmed that the modification aligns with the agency's budget and that adequate funds are available.

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 bill emphasizes the importance of adhering to financial restrictions and the necessity for Council approval before any expenditures can occur against the contingent amount. Overall, the proposed changes aim to ensure the successful completion of the project while maintaining compliance with budgetary and regulatory requirements.
