The bill proposes a modification to Contract No. DCAM-21-CS-RFP-0008T with The Temple Group, Inc., allowing for the exercise of the remainder of option year four for construction management services. This modification includes a not-to-exceed amount of $3,000,000 and extends the performance period from April 11, 2026, through April 10, 2027. The Temple Group, Inc. will continue to provide construction management services for various facilities within the Department of General Services (DGS) real estate portfolio. Additionally, the bill incorporates the US Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule No. 2015-4281 Rev No. 32 and the Living Wage Act of 2006 into the contract, ensuring compliance with relevant certification requirements.
Furthermore, the bill includes a release clause where the contractor waives any claims against the Department related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification, protecting the Department from future liabilities. All other terms and conditions of the original contract remain unchanged and in full effect. The bill also emphasizes the importance of hiring District residents, requiring that at least 51% of new hires for contracts valued at $300,000 or more be local residents, and establishes comprehensive insurance requirements for contractors to protect the District's interests.
