The bill proposes a significant modification to the existing Design-Build Services Agreement for the modernization of Tubman Elementary School, increasing the contract's not-to-exceed amount from $47,633,071 to $90,719,383. This increase of $43,086,312 is intended to cover the remaining design-build services necessary for the project, which includes the construction of a new child development center. The project is scheduled for substantial completion by July 15, 2026, and the modification has been certified as legally sufficient, with MCN Build, Inc. confirmed to be in compliance with District tax laws. The funding for this project is sourced from the District of Columbia Public Schools' cumulative capital budget authority, although it is noted that a portion of the costs, amounting to $1,644,956.88, will require future operating funds due to ineligibility for capital expenditure.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the Design-Builder, including adherence to performance standards, timely completion of deliverables, and compliance with sustainability principles. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining qualified personnel and includes provisions for penalties related to delays and the removal of key team members without prior approval. The bill also mandates that at least 35% of the contract value must be subcontracted to qualified small business enterprises (SBEs), with specific reporting requirements to ensure compliance with these economic inclusion goals. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the educational infrastructure while promoting local economic growth and ensuring accountability throughout the project lifecycle.
