The proposed bill seeks the Council's approval for Contract No. DCAM-25-CS-RFQ-0002B with Als Twin Air, LLC, for on-call HVAC maintenance, repair, and installation services across various public facilities, with a maximum contract value of $15,000,000 for a duration of one year. The contract will be executed through competitively-awarded task order agreements, allowing for a variety of HVAC-related projects. The selection process involved a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) that attracted thirty submissions, with a Technical Evaluation Panel ultimately selecting twelve qualified contractors, including Als Twin Air, LLC, which is recognized as a Certified Small Business Enterprise with over 12 years of experience in HVAC services.

The bill establishes a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) between the District of Columbia Government's Department of General Services (DGS) and Als Twin Air, LLC, detailing the responsibilities of both parties, including compliance with legal and fiscal requirements. It outlines the contractor's obligations regarding project management, safety, and timely completion, as well as provisions for payment, subcontracting, and adherence to local hiring practices. The bill emphasizes economic inclusion by mandating that at least 35% of the contract dollar volume be subcontracted to qualified small business enterprises and includes provisions for compliance with the Living Wage Act. Overall, the bill aims to enhance accountability, safety, and quality in government contracting while ensuring fair labor practices and supporting local businesses.
