The proposed Modification No. 1 to Contract No. DCAM-23-CS-RFP-0029 with KADCON Corporation seeks to increase the contract's not-to-exceed amount by $15,659,566, raising the total from $3,062,916 to $18,722,482. This modification is essential for KADCON Corporation to provide design-build services for the modernization of the Upshur Recreation Center, which was initially approved by the Council on May 16, 2025. The project aims to create a modern, all-inclusive recreation facility that meets the needs of the Department of Parks and Recreation, with a substantial completion date set for August 3, 2027. The modification also includes a release clause where the contractor waives any claims against the Department related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification.

Additionally, the bill outlines the terms of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) agreement, with the total maximum cost set at $18,722,482, which encompasses various components such as work costs, design fees, and general conditions. It specifies that certain items totaling $548,300 are ineligible for capital expenditure, and work on these items cannot commence without prior written authorization from a duly authorized DGS Contracting Officer. The modification extends the Substantial Completion Date to August 3, 2027, and the Final Completion Date to September 3, 2027, while ensuring that all other terms and conditions of the original contract remain unchanged.
