The proposed bill aims to modify Contract No. CW91987 with Conduent State Healthcare, LLC, to extend the operations and maintenance of the District's Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) until January 31, 2026, with a total not-to-exceed amount of $13,121,383.91. This extension is crucial for maintaining continuity in the Medicaid program's fee-for-service delivery model while the District transitions to a new MMIS system. The contractor, Conduent, has a proven track record of satisfactory performance since 2016 and has been deemed qualified to meet the contract requirements. The bill also allows for a potential two-month extension, with an additional not-to-exceed amount of $5,389,516.57.

In addition to the contract extension, the bill includes specific amendments to the contract language. It deletes and replaces certain sections, such as Section B.2.1, which now specifies a fixed-priced component for operations with a claim volume cap of 12,000,000, and Section C.5.66, detailing the contractor's responsibilities for turnover activities. Furthermore, Section I.5 is amended to clarify indemnification and limitation of liability, stating that Conduent's total liability will not exceed the cost of four months of the extension period, except in cases of gross negligence or fraud. All other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged.
