The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCRL-2024-C-0082 with Second Family, Inc. (SFI) to fully exercise option year one, which is set at a not-to-exceed amount of $4,066,783.15. This modification will provide residential services for medically fragile dual diagnosed youth from October 2, 2025, through September 30, 2026, and includes an increase in the number of placements by one, justifying 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. Additionally, SFI is confirmed to be current with its District taxes, ensuring adherence to local regulations.

The bill also outlines the specifics of the contract modification, including the exercise of an option to extend the contract term for Option Year One from November 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with a total not-to-exceed amount of $3,739,442.15. It emphasizes the necessity for the contractor to acknowledge receipt of the amendment by a specified deadline to prevent rejection of offers and mandates that the contractor sign the document to validate the modification. All other terms and conditions of the original contract remain unchanged, ensuring continuity in the contractual relationship.
