The bill proposes Change Order No. 6 to Contract No. GF-2020-C-0036 for the construction of a new athletic field at the University of the District of Columbia, which will increase the total contract amount by $1,531,652.71, raising it to $7,913,346.10. This change order is necessary to expand the scope of work, including relocating emergency vehicle access, enlarging the synthetic turf field, and addressing unforeseen construction conditions. The performance period for the contract is also extended through September 18, 2025, to accommodate these modifications. The change order has been deemed legally sufficient and financially viable, with available funds confirmed within the FY2025 Capital Construction Budget.

Additionally, the bill outlines various proposals for construction work related to the athletic field project, including costs for erosion control, landscaping, and other enhancements. It emphasizes the challenges posed by current supply chain issues, which may lead to price volatility and delayed delivery of materials. The contractor, Consys, Inc., has a satisfactory compliance record and is certified as a local, small, or disadvantaged business enterprise. The bill seeks approval from the Council of the District of Columbia for the contract modification, ensuring that the necessary adjustments are made to facilitate the successful completion of the athletic field project.
