The proposed Modification No. 1 to Contract No. DCAM-22-CS-RFP-0002 with MCN Build, Inc. seeks to increase the contract's not-to-exceed amount by $2,134,642, raising it from $40,247,334 to $42,381,976. This modification is essential for the completion of the modernization of Fort Lincoln Park and the construction of a new Recreation Center and Early Childhood Education Center on the site of the former Thurgood Marshall Elementary School. The substantial completion date for the project will be extended from October 6, 2026, to March 23, 2027. The modification includes $1,700,000 for the new centers and $434,642 for renovating the tennis courts at the Fort Lincoln Recreation Center, requiring Council approval due to the amount exceeding $1 million.

Additionally, the bill outlines a Basic Change Directive (BCD) for the renovation of the Fort Lincoln Tennis Courts and the development of the new centers, mandating MCN Build Inc. to proceed with specific construction tasks. The total cost for the tennis court renovation is estimated at $434,642, with provisions for contract adjustments and a cap on any increase requests due to the BCD. The project aims to enhance recreational facilities and ensure accessibility for all community members, with a total budget of $3,115,787 allocated for various aspects of the renovation and construction work. The project is set to commence in winter 2023 and is expected to be completed by spring 2025, with all administrative tasks finalized by the end of FY 2025.
