Under the proposed modification, National Service Contractors, Inc. will continue to provide

If you have any questions regarding the proposed contract modification, please contact Keith A.

GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
Pursuant to Section 202(c) of the Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010, as amended, D.C.
Official Code § 2-352.02(c), the following contract summary is provided:
COUNCIL CONTRACT SUMMARY
(Options)
Modification No. 1 to Contract No. DCAM-22-CS-RFQ-0001J for Construction Projects
Exercise of Option Year 001
(A) Contract Number: DCAM-22-CS-RFQ-0001J (the “Contract”)
Modification No. 1 to exercise Option Year 001
Proposed Contractor: National Service Contractors, Inc. (the
“Contractor”)
Proposed Contract Amount
(Option Year 001): Guaranteed Minimum $50
Not-to-Exceed (“NTE”): $20,000,000.00
Term of Contract
(Option Year 001): May 2, 2023 through May 1, 2024
Type of Contract: Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (“ID/IQ”)
1
(B) Identifying number of the underlying contract, including the identifiers assigned to the
underlying contract by the Council for the base period and any subsequent option periods:
Contract (Base Year): DCAM-22-CS-RFQ-0001J
Council Approval: CA24-0481, May 02, 2022
Contract Amount: Guaranteed Minimum: $50; NTE: $15,000,000
Exercise of Option Year 001: Proposed Modification No. 1
Option Year 001 Amount: Guaranteed Minimum: $50; NTE: $20,000,000
The NTE for Option Year 001 has been increased to reflect an increased volume of construction
projects as well as a general increase in market costs due to the profound effect of recent
inflation on the construction industry. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the
economy has experienced several shocks, one of which is inflation. The Department has
observed steep increases in the cost of construction. These increases mean that the capacity of
a vendor under the BOA is exhausted earlier than in previous years, which can limit the number
of vendors that can bid on projects and subsequently prevent the Department from implementing
projects.
(C) A statement that Citywide Clean Hands database indicates that the proposed contractor
is current with its District taxes. If the Citywide Clean Hands Database indicates that the
proposed contractor is not current with its District taxes, either: (1) a certification that
the contractor has worked out and is current with a payment schedule approved by the
District; or (2) a certification that the contractor will be current with its District taxes
after the District recovers any outstanding debt as provided under D.C. Official Code § 2-
353.01(b):
The Citywide Clean Hands database indicates that the Contractor is current with its District
taxes. The relevant certification is attached.
(D) A statement that the proposed contract is within the appropriated budget authority for
the agency for the fiscal year and is consistent with the financial plan and budget adopted
in accordance with D.C. Official Code §§ 47-392.01 and 47-392.02:
The Office of the Chief Financial Officer has certified that the guaranteed minimum value of
$50 of proposed Modification No. 1 is within the appropriated budget authority for the agency
and is consistent with the financial plan and budget adopted in accordance with D.C. Official
Code §§ 47-392.01 and 47-392.02; sufficient funds will be included in the budget proposal for
FY 24 for task orders issued after September 30, 2023, and no task orders will be issued or work
performed in FY 24 unless the financial plan adopted by the Council includes such funds. The
applicable Fiscal Sufficiency certification accompanies this Council Package.

(E) Certification that the proposed contractor has not been determined to be in violation of
D.C. Official Code § 1-1163.34a:
