The bill proposes a significant modification to the contract for the modernization of J.O. Wilson Elementary School, increasing the total contract value from $27,185,263 to $79,361,515 by adding $52,176,252. This adjustment establishes a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the design-build services, which encompasses comprehensive design, preconstruction, and construction services. The project is set to achieve substantial completion by July 15, 2026, and the contractor, Chiaramonte-DAVIS, is responsible for any costs exceeding the GMP. The modification also includes provisions for capital-eligible items and mandates that the agency submit a reverse capital paygo to operating reprogramming for any ineligible costs.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the Design-Builder, emphasizing compliance with stringent requirements, quality control, and the management of subcontractors. It mandates the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) throughout the project lifecycle and establishes a framework for the evaluation of the Design-Builder's performance based on adherence to project requirements. The bill also includes provisions for the turnover process of the project, ensuring that all necessary documentation and training are completed for effective facility management post-construction. Overall, the legislation aims to ensure a structured, accountable, and efficient approach to the modernization of the school while promoting fair employment practices and community engagement.
