The proposed bill seeks the Council's approval for a contract with Intercontinental Build, LLC, for on-call HVAC maintenance, repair, and installation services across various public facilities, with a maximum not-to-exceed amount of $15,000,000 and a performance period of one year. The contract will be executed through competitively-awarded task order agreements, allowing for a range of HVAC-related projects. The selection process involved a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) that received thirty submissions, with Intercontinental Build, LLC being selected based on a scoring system evaluating past performance and project management capabilities. The bill establishes a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) between the District's Department of General Services and the contractor, outlining responsibilities, compliance requirements, and the necessity for the contractor to resolve any compliance matters with the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue before commencing work.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the term of the agreement, which is effective for one year with options for four one-year extensions, and mandates that all work must be authorized by a written task order. It emphasizes compliance with applicable laws, including the Davis-Bacon wage determination, and outlines contractor responsibilities regarding project management, safety, and communication. The bill also introduces new legal language to amend existing laws related to wage definitions and fringe benefits, ensuring transparency and compliance with labor standards. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance accountability, safety, and quality in government contracting while promoting the participation of small businesses and ensuring fair labor practices.
