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 and increasing the size of the synthetic turf field due to unforeseen conditions encountered during construction. The performance period of the contract is also extended to 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.

The bill emphasizes that the contractor, Consys, Inc., has a satisfactory compliance record and is certified as a local, small, or disadvantaged business enterprise. The Board of Trustees of the University has reviewed the terms and certifications of the change order, concluding that it represents the best value for the University. The resolution authorizes the President and Chief Contracting Officer to execute the contract modification, pending approval from the Council of the District of Columbia. The bill aims to ensure the successful completion of the athletic field project while addressing necessary adjustments and financial considerations.
