The proposed bill seeks approval for Contract No. CW121720 with Alternative Support Apparatus, LLC (ASAP) to provide MedStat MS500 off-road ambulance support vehicles for the District of Columbia. Valued at a maximum of $1,793,093.30, the contract will span one year and allow for the procurement of between twelve and twenty vehicles, classified as a sole source procurement due to ASAP being the exclusive manufacturer. The contract includes a base period amount of $1,075,855.80 and provisions for four option years with varying quantities and total amounts. It emphasizes the importance of these vehicles for enhancing emergency response capabilities within the District's Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department.

Additionally, the bill introduces several amendments to existing contract provisions, including the deletion of the previous Non-Discrimination Clause and the introduction of a new clause that broadens non-discrimination requirements and mandates affirmative action in employment practices. It also revises the dispute resolution process, allowing the Contracting Officer to make changes without prior notice to the surety and stipulating that claims for adjustments must be asserted within ten days. The bill aims to enhance compliance with non-discrimination laws, clarify contract adjustment processes, and ensure accountability in contractor relationships, while also establishing specific insurance requirements for contractors and subcontractors.
