Department on May 28, 2025, and with the Not to Exceed (“NTE”) amount of $3, 062,916.00, as an
Early Start Agreement (“ESA”) No.1, inclusive of the initial NTE amount of $950,000.00, under the
Letter Contract. C&P further states, the proposed Modification No.1, if approved, in the amount of
$15,659,566.00, would increase the Contract’s NTE, establish the final Guaranteed Maximum Price
(“GMP”), in the amount of $18,722,482.00 ($3,062,916.00 + $15,659,566.00) and would authorize the
Contractor to proceed with the remaining portion of the work. As the proposed amount of the
Modification is $1 million or more, Council approval is required for this Contract action.
While funding in the amount of $15,659,566.00 is being approved for capital-eligible items only, there
is an ineligible amount of $ 548,300.00, listed in Exhibit G. See the ineligible items column. These
items are ineligible for capital expenditure, per the District Guidelines. The goods/services are needed
in FY2027. There should be no purchases, commitments, or expenditures for these items, until
operating funds are available, via a purchase order for the same amount. In no event shall the Contractor
be entitled to perform any work against these items unless authorized in advance and in writing by a
duly authorized DGS Contracting Officer through a modification of the contract. Unless and until such
modification is executed by a duly authorized DGS Contracting Officer, the Contractor will be limited
to capital-funded purchase orders (“POs”) in the amount of $15,111,266.00 for the capital-eligible work
authorized by this contract modification. For the avoidance of confusion, if the Contractor performs
any work with the ineligible items in the amount of $548,300.00, as outlined in Exhibit G, without
express written authorization by a duly authorized DGS Contracting Officer, the Contractor does so at
its own risk.
The Department of General Services (DGS –Implementing AGY) has $18,722,482.00 in the
Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR–Owner AGY) capital budget authority balance.

GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE AMENDMENT
DESIGN-BUILD SERVICES FOR UPSHUR RECREATION CENTER

THIS GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE AMENDMENT (“Amendment”) is entered into
by and between the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA GOVERNMENT, acting by and through its
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES (the “Department”) and KADCON
CORPORATION (the “Design -Builder”) pursuant to the Agreement, dated May 28, 2025,
between the District of Columbia government, by and through the Department and the Design-
Builder, for Design-Build Services for Upshur Recreation Center Modernization and to establish
a Guaranteed Maximum Price and Contract Time for the Work as set forth below.
ARTICLE I GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE
Section 1.1 Guaranteed Maximum Price. Subject to additions and deductions which
may be made only in accordance with the Agreement, the Design-Builder represents, warrants
and guarantees to the Department that the total maximum cost to be paid by the Department for
Design Builder’s complete performance under the Agreement, including, but not limited to,
Final Completion of all Work, all services of Design-Builder under the Agreement, and
all fees, compensation and reimbursements to Design-Builder, shall not exceed the total
amount of Eighteen Million, Seven Hundred Twenty -Two Thousand, Four Hundred and
Eighty-Two Dollars ($18,722,482.00) ("Guaranteed Maximum Price"). The GMP includes
capital ineligible items per Section 1.8 of this GMP Amendment and Exhibit G in the amount
of $548,300.00. Costs which would cause the Guaranteed Maximum Price (as may be adjusted
pursuant to the Contract Documents) to be exceeded shall be paid by the Design-Builder
without reimbursement by the Department.
Section 1.2 Guaranteed Maximum Price Components. The Guaranteed Maximum
Price is comprised of the maximum amount payable by the Department for:
1.2.1 the Cost of the Work for full and complete performance of the Work in
strict accordance with the Contract Documents;
1.2.2 a Design-Build Fee for the Design-Builder, as defined in the Agreement, in
the amount of $641,816.00;
1.2.3 a Lump Sum General Conditions, as defined in the Agreement, in the amount of
$1,043,740.00;
1.2.4 a Design Fee in the amount of $1,319,400.00; and
1.2.5 The Guaranteed Maximum Price is further broken down into line items and
categories on Exhibits A-G attached hereto.
1.3.1 Section 1.3 Basis for the GMP. The GMP is for the performance of the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents listed and attached to this Amendment and marked
Exhibits A through F, as follows:
Docusign Envelope ID: 130BFA38-2F2A-8712-812D-592E58B55DB1
1.3.2 Exhibit A: A list of drawings, specifications, addenda, general, supplementary,
and other conditions on which the Guaranteed Maximum Price is based.
1.3.3 Exhibit B: A list of Allowances.
1.3.4 Exhibit C: Assumptions and Clarifications made in preparing the Guaranteed
Maximum Price, noting in particular any exclusions. The Assumptions and Clarifications shall
take precedence over the Drawings and Specifications but shall be subordinate to the Agreement
and the terms of this Amendment.
1.3.5 Exhibit D: The proposed Guaranteed Maximum Price, including a statement of
the detailed cost estimate organized by trade categories, allowances, Contingency, and other
items and the fee that comprise the Guaranteed Maximum Price.
1.3.6 Exhibit E: A Construction Phase Schedule which shall include, but not be
limited to, the Substantial and Final Completion Dates, upon which the proposed Guaranteed
Maximum Price is based, and a schedule of the Construction Documents issuance dates upon
which the Substantial and Final Completion Dates are based (the “Project Schedule”).
1.3.7 Exhibit F: An LSDBE Utilization Plan setting forth the names and estimated
dollar volume of the work that will be perform by small, local and disadvantaged business
enterprises, as certified by the Department of Small and Local Business Development, upon
which the GMP is based.
1.3.8 Exhibit G: A summary of Capital Cost vs Operating Cost Eligibility.
Section 1.4 Incomplete Drawings and Specifications. Design-Builder and the
Department acknowledge that the Drawings and Specifications are complete and, as of the date
hereof, that such Drawings and Specifications have reached the level of 100% complete permit
set documents. The Design-Builder, however, has been actively involved in the design process
and hereby represents that it has a sufficient understanding of the Project to agree to a GMP to
Fully Complete the Project. The Design -Builder hereby acknowledges that the GMP Basis
Project Documents provides sufficient detail and information to provide a firm GMP and that
the GMP proposed therein is intended to represent the Design-Builder’s offer to Fully Complete
the Project. The Design -Builder and the Department agree to work together to complete the
Drawings and Specifications as provided in this Agreement, consistent with the GMP premises
and assumptions and Project Schedule.
Section 1.5 Design Intent; Inferable Work. Design-Builder agrees that the Guaranteed
Maximum Price is based on the current state of the design, which represents 100 % complete
permit set documents . The GMP Basis Documents will include various clarifications and
assumptions that are intended to further define the scope of Work that will be required to
complete design. The Design-Builder has included within the Guaranteed Maximum Price
sufficient amounts to cover aspects of the Work that are not shown on the GMP Basis
Documents. If the Department does not approve any such scope increase, the Design-Builder
shall cause the Architect to develop a design that is consistent with the original design intent and
Docusign Envelope ID: 130BFA38-2F2A-8712-812D-592E58B55DB1
shall complete the Work for an amount that does not exceed the GMP.
Section 1.6 Cost Overruns. Subject to additions or deductions which may be made
in accordance with the Agreement, the Design-Builder shall be solely liable and responsible for
and shall pay any and all costs, fees and other expenditures in excess of the Guaranteed
Maximum Price for and/or relating to the Work, without entitlement to reimbursement from the
Department. Design-Builder shall not be entitled to any fee, payment, compensation or
reimbursement under this Agreement or relating to the Work or Project other than as
expressly provided in the Agreement.
Section 1.7 Allowances. The Guaranteed Maximum Price includes specific "Unit Price
Allowance Amounts" for certain items as shown on the Schedule of Values and budgeted in
the Guaranteed Maximum Price ("Allowance Items"). The only Allowance Items shall be
those specifically identified as such in the Schedule of Values and in the Guaranteed Maximum
Price. The Allowance Amounts represent all Costs of the Work of the Allowance Items,
including, without limitation, costs of materials, labor, handling, transportation, loading and
unloading and installation, as determined by Design-Builder.
Section 1.8 Capital Eligibility . While a total amount of $15,659,566.00 is being
approved for capital-eligible items for Modification No. 1 only, there is an ineligible amount of
$548,300.00, listed in Exhibit G. See the ineligible items column. These items are ineligible for
capital expenditure, per the District Guidelines. The goods/services are needed in FY2027. There
should be no purchases, commitments, or expenditures for these items until operating funds are
available, via a purchase order for the same amount. In no event shall the Contractor be entitled
to perform any work against these items unless authorized in advance and in writing b y a duly
authorized DGS Contracting Officer through a modification of the contract. Unless and until
such modification is executed by a duly authorized DGS Contracting Officer, the Contractor
will be limited to capital -funded purchase orders (“POs”) in the amount of $15,111,266.00 for
the capital -eligible work authorized by this contract modification. For the avoidance of
confusion, if the Contractor performs any work with the ineligible items in the amount of
$548,300.00, as outlined in Exhibit G, without express written authorization by a duly
authorized DGS Contracting Officer, the Contractor does so at its own risk.

ARTICLE 2
INTENT, INTERPRETATION AND CORRELATION
Section 2.1 Intent of the Agreement . The intent of the Agreement is for the Design-
Builder to perform and supply, and the Department hereby engages Design-Builder to and Design
Builder hereby agrees to perform and supply, the Work, including all necessary design services,
scheduling, procurement, supervision, construction, and construction management services and
supply all necessary labor, materials, equipment and related work and services necessary to fully
complete the Work and obtain the intended results of the Contract Documents, including, but
not limited to the requirements of the Project Schedule and the Guaranteed Maximum Price
requirements set forth in Article 1 above. The enumeration of particular items in the Specifications
and/or Drawings shall not be construed to exclude other items. The Contract Documents
are complementary, and what is required by any one of the Contract Documents (including
either a Drawing or Specification) as being necessary to produce the intended results shall be
binding and required as a part of the Work as if required by all Contract Documents.
Section 2.2 Design-Builder’s Compliance with Contract Documents. Design-Builder
agrees, accepts and assumes that the Department's decision will require implementation of the
most stringent requirements among any conflicting provisions of the Contract Documents as
being part of the Work. The Design-Builder agrees to be b ound by all decisions by the
Department to implement the most stringent of any conflicting requirements within the Contract
Documents. Any failure by Design-Builder to seek such clarifications shall in no way limit the
Department's ability to require implementation, including replacement of installed Work at a later
date at Design Builder's sole expense, to achieve compliance with the more stringent
requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Design-Builder hereby agrees
as follows:
2.2.1 The failure of the Department to insist in any one or more instances upon a strict
compliance with any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any option herein conferred, shall
not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the Department's right thereafter to require
compliance with such provision of this Agreement, or as being a waiver of the Department's right
thereafter to exercise such option, and such provision or option will remain in full force and effect.
2.2.2 If there is any inconsistency in the Drawings or any conflict between the Drawings
and Specifications, Design-Builder shall provide the better quality or greater quantity of Work
or materials, as applicable, unless the Department directs otherwise in writing.
2.2.3 Design-Builder shall be responsible for dividing the Work among the appropriate
Subcontractors and Vendors. No claim will be entertained by the Department based upon
the organization or arrangement of the Specifications and/or the Drawings into areas,
sections, subsections or trade disciplines.
2.2.4 Detail drawings shall take precedence over scale drawings, and figured dimensions
on the Drawings shall govern the setting out of the Work.
Docusign Envelope ID: 130BFA38-2F2A-8712-812D-592E58B55DB1
2.2.5 Unless the Specifications expressly state otherwise, references to documents and
standards of professional organizations shall mean the latest editions published prior to
the Effective Date.
2.2.6 Technical words, abbreviations and acronyms in the Contract Documents shall be
used and interpreted in accordance with customary usage in the construction industry.
2.2.7 Whenever consent, permission or approval is required from any party pursuant to
the provisions of the Contract Documents, such consent, permission or approval shall, unless
expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, be given or obtained, as applicable, in writing.

ARTICLE 4
OTHER PROVISIONS
Section 4.1 Design-Builder’s Responsibilities. The Design-Builder also expressly
acknowledges that this Project and the Work will proceed on a "fast-track" method of construction,
i.e., construction will commence without final Drawings and Specifications in place. More
specifically, while Drawings and Specifications are complete for certain portions of Work,
the design process will continue for other portions during construction based on the
Guaranteed Maximum Price premises and assumptions. The Design-Builder has been, and will
continue to be, an active participant in the design process. Given such participation, the Design-
Builder represents that it is familiar with the scope and quality of those aspects of the Project
that have not yet been fully designed, and has taken such scope and quality matters into
consideration in preparing each component of the Guaranteed Maximum Price. The Design-
Builder agrees to work with the Department in managing the construction and design work
to complete the design process. The Design-Builder shall manage the Project, including
coordinating redesign or Value Engineering necessary or advisable for certain aspects of the
Project at any stage of the design process in order to bring the cost of such Work within or
below, but not in excess of, the respective allowances or the budgeted or allocated amounts for
other items contained in the Guaranteed Maximum Price. Once the Drawings and Specifications
are complete, it is recognized by the Design-Builder and the Department that the scope of the
Guaranteed Maximum Price may include Work not expressly indicated on the Contract
Documents, but which is reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents, and such Work
shall be performed without any increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price or extension of
Contract Time, except if and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
ARTICLE 5
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 5.1 Prior Agreement Unaffected. Except as expressly agreed to herein, all of
the terms, conditions, representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement shall remain
unaffected and in full force and affect.
Section 5.2 Integrated Agreement. This Amendment and any attachment hereto set forth
the entire agreement and understanding of the parties regarding the transactions contemplated
hereby and supersede all prior oral and written agreements, arrangements and understandings
relating to the subject matter hereof. There are no oral or written agreements or understandings,
representations or warranties among the parties other than those set forth herein.
Section 5.3 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall be considered one and
the same instrument.
Section 5.4 Construction. This Agreement shall be construed fairly as to all parties and
not in favor of or against any party, regardless of which party prepared the Agreement.
