The bill proposes a significant modification to Contract No. DCAM-23-CS-RFP-0017 with MCN Build, Inc., increasing the total contract amount by $10,241,138, raising it from $80,803,202 to $91,044,340. This adjustment is essential for the ongoing design-build services related to the expansion of MacArthur High School, which encompasses various construction tasks, including architectural millwork, flooring, and site improvements. The substantial completion date for the project is set for August 5, 2026. The modification requires Council approval due to the increase exceeding $1 million and is compliant with budgetary requirements, as confirmed by the Department of General Services.

Additionally, the bill outlines the establishment of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of $91,044,340, which includes provisions for the Design-Builder to assume responsibility for any costs exceeding the GMP. It emphasizes a "fast-track" approach to construction, allowing work to commence while design work continues. The bill also details the financial framework for the project, including specific allocations for capital-eligible items and a noted ineligible amount of $300,573 that cannot be utilized until operating funds are available. Overall, the legislation aims to facilitate the successful completion of the MacArthur High School expansion while ensuring adherence to established budgetary and regulatory standards.
