Summary:
This First Amendment to the CDBG First Amendment CD21CASA revises the scope of the project to allow for architectural design plans; extends the term of the Agreement three (3) months to allow for project completion and extends the term of the Restricted Period.
CASA experienced difficulties securing a general contractor for the improvements due to not having architectural plans for the project. CASA has requested that contracting for architectural design plans be incorporated into the scope of the project.
The Agreement requires that performance be completed by September 30, 2022. CASA is unable to complete the project on or before the expiration date. It is necessary to extend the term of the Agreement three (3) months to December 31, 2022. As a result of the term extension, it is necessary to extend the term of the Restricted Period three (3) months, restricting the use of the property to serving survivors of domestic violence and their children, to January 1, 2028.
