The proposed Modification No. M002 to Contract No. DCKA-2024-C-0038 with Excel Tree Expert CO Inc. seeks to exercise the second option year for tree removal services in the District of Columbia. This modification allows for a not-to-exceed amount of $3,129,406, with the contract period extending from January 29, 2026, through January 28, 2027. The modification also specifies that the District will order a minimum amount of $95,661 during this option year.

Additionally, the modification updates the U.S. Department of Labor SCA Wage Determination to reflect the latest revision. The Clean Hands database confirms that Excel Tree is current with its District taxes, and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer has certified that the contract funding aligns with the agency's budget authority for the fiscal year. All other terms and conditions of the original contract remain unchanged.
