The proposed bill seeks the Council's approval for Contract No. DCAM-25-CS-RFQ-0002D with Citadel Firm, 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 variety of HVAC-related projects. The selection process involved a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), and Citadel Firm, LLC was chosen based on their technical evaluation scores. The bill ensures compliance with local regulations by certifying that the contractor is current with its taxes and that the contract is within the appropriated budget authority.

Additionally, the bill establishes a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) between the District of Columbia Government's Department of General Services (DGS) and Citadel Firm LLC, outlining responsibilities for both parties, including compliance with tax regulations and project management tools. It emphasizes the importance of safety and quality management on construction sites, requiring contractors to develop safety plans and maintain detailed records. The bill also introduces new requirements for performance and payment bonds for trade subcontractors and contractors involved in Task Orders valued at $100,000 or more, and it mandates that at least 35% of contracts over $250,000 be subcontracted to qualified small business enterprises. Overall, the bill aims to enhance accountability, ensure compliance with labor standards, and promote local hiring in government-funded projects.
