Modification Nos. 7, 8, and 10 to Contract No. DCAM-20-CS-RFP-0020 with GCS, Inc., Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to approve three modifications to a construction contract with GCS, Inc. for the Stead Park Recreation Center, allowing the company to continue its work without payment delays. The changes increase the project's guaranteed maximum price by over $1 million to cover costs for construction management and the replacement of the athletic field and running track. Because the total increase exceeds a specific threshold within a year, the District of Columbia Council must use this emergency process to authorize the additional funding and payments. The bill takes effect immediately to ensure the project can proceed without interruption.
