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 flexibility in addressing HVAC-related projects. The contractor was selected based on a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process, and the bill establishes a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) that outlines the responsibilities of both parties, including compliance with the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue requirements before work commencement.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006 to set new living wage rates for employees of District government contractors, effective January 1, 2025, with specific exemptions and compliance measures. It emphasizes the importance of timely completion and compliance with contractual obligations, including provisions for performance and payment bonds, subcontracting requirements, and adherence to labor standards. The bill also introduces new legal language regarding wage determinations, certified payroll submissions, and compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, aiming to enhance labor protections and ensure fair treatment of workers in federally funded projects.
