The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCRL-2024-C-0082 with Second Family, Inc. (SFI) to fully exercise option year one, extending the contract from October 2, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $4,066,783.15. This modification is necessary to increase the number of placements by one, which accounts for the increase in the contract amount compared to the base period. The contract has been certified as compliant with the appropriated budget authority for the fiscal year and aligns with the District's financial plan. SFI is confirmed to be current with its District taxes, ensuring adherence to local regulations.

The bill also includes a specific amendment to the contract that allows for the exercise of Option Year One, which will run from November 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with a total not-to-exceed amount of $3,739,442.15. It mandates that the contractor must acknowledge receipt of this modification by a specified deadline to avoid rejection of their offer. While administrative changes may be made, all other terms and conditions of the original contract remain unchanged and in full effect.
