The proposed bill seeks to amend existing legislation regarding the modernization of J.O. Wilson Elementary School, primarily focusing on establishing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the project. The bill outlines a significant increase in the contract's not-to-exceed amount by $52,176,252, raising the total contract value to $79,361,515. This modification is essential for the design-build services necessary for the school's modernization, which is expected to be substantially completed by July 15, 2026. The bill emphasizes the contractor's responsibility to provide comprehensive design, preconstruction, and construction services while adhering to performance standards, including liquidated damages for delays. Additionally, the contractor must comply with local business enterprise regulations through a subcontracting plan that meets the requirements of the Small, Local, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Development and Assistance Act.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for the turnover process of construction projects, detailing the necessary documentation and responsibilities for both the contractor and the District of Columbia's Department of General Services. It mandates the submission of various forms and reports to ensure compliance with project specifications and timelines. The bill also emphasizes the importance of community engagement, sustainability, and adherence to regulatory requirements throughout the project lifecycle. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the educational environment at J.O. Wilson Elementary School while ensuring accountability, transparency, and effective management of public resources.
