The bill proposes Modification No. 2 to Contract No. DCAM-23-CS-RFP-0008 with MCN Build, Inc., which seeks to increase the contract's not-to-exceed amount by $43,086,312, raising the total from $47,633,071 to $90,719,383. This modification is essential for covering the remaining design-build services required for the complete modernization of Tubman Elementary School, which includes the construction of a new child development center and aims to achieve LEED for Schools Gold standards. The project is scheduled for substantial completion by July 15, 2026, and the modification will establish a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for the project, ensuring adherence to performance standards and timelines, with penalties for delays.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for a subcontracting plan that mandates a minimum percentage of work to be performed by certified local businesses, promoting local economic development. It also specifies that the contractor must release the Department from any claims related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification. The legal sufficiency of the modification has been certified, contingent upon the submission of required materials and Council approval, ensuring that the Tubman Elementary School modernization project can proceed with the necessary funding and oversight while adhering to the District's capital expenditure guidelines.
