The proposed Modification No. 1 to Contract No. DCAM-23-CS-RFP-0035 with MCN Build, Inc. aims to increase the contract's not-to-exceed amount by $20,333,753, raising the total from $4,211,130 to $24,544,883. This modification is essential for completing the construction of the Douglass Community Center and Pool, which was initially approved by the Council on December 27, 2024. The substantial completion date for the project has been extended from July 17, 2026, to January 11, 2027, and the final completion date has been adjusted from July 24, 2026, to April 12, 2027. The contractor is also prohibited from performing work related to non-capital-eligible items without prior written authorization from a DGS Contracting Officer.

The bill outlines the terms for a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) agreement between the Design-Builder and the Department of General Services, detailing the basis for the GMP, including drawings, specifications, and subcontracting plans that involve Local Small Business Development Enterprises (LSBDEs). It emphasizes the Design-Builder's responsibility for any costs exceeding the GMP and mandates effective project management, including handling redesigns or value engineering. The agreement also clarifies that any inconsistencies in the contract documents will be resolved in favor of the more stringent requirements, ensuring compliance with applicable standards and regulations.
