The proposed Modification No. 16 to Contract No. CFOPD-19-C-003 with Harris & Harris, Ltd. seeks to extend the existing contract for secondary collection services and an account receivables system for delinquent non-tax debts owed to the Government of the District of Columbia. This modification, amounting to a not-to-exceed total of $2,164,865.00, will cover the period from May 21, 2025, to November 20, 2025. The extension is necessary to ensure continuity of services while the Office of Finance and Treasury prepares for a competitive procurement process for a new contract that aligns with updated legislative requirements regarding debt collections.

The modification includes specific insertions related to the contract extension option periods, detailing estimated revenue and contingency fees associated with the delinquent collection services. The estimated revenue for the first extension period is $11,381,282.00, with a contingency fee of 9.25%, and the second extension period has a similar estimated revenue. Additionally, the contract modification incorporates the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination No. 2015-4281, Revision No. 32. All other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged, ensuring that the District can maintain an effective system for managing delinquent debts during the transition to a new contractor and system.
