Summary: This amendment renews the contract term by one (1) year and increases the contract by $286,000 due to an expanded scope that provides for the development and execution of a near-term stabilization and mobilization strategy for the adaptive re-use and preservation of nine (9) existing structures. The additional funds are justified by projected savings of $61M by pursuing the preservation/adaptive re-use versus build-new strategy for these particular nine structures.
