MINIMUM NEED:
The Department of General Services (DGS) utilizes Boland Services’ building automated systems at Barnard Elementary School, Cleveland Elementary School, Sousa Middle School, JO Wilson Elementary School, W. B. Patterson Elementary School, Ward 6 Wellness Center and the 6th District Merritt Metropolitan Police Department located in Washington, DC (Facilities). This is critical to the comfort and safety of Facilities’ occupants, and the efficient operation of the building system:

ESTIMATED FAIR AND REASONABLE PRICE:
The estimated fair and reasonable price is $682,860.00

FACTS WHICH JUSTIFY A SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT:
Boland Trane is the original equipment manufacturer and Installer of the Building Automated System utilized at the Facilities. The proprietary element of this equipment system allows for unique components and requirements that only Boland Trane contractors are equipped to address. Any other Contractor would need to sub-contract to Boland Trane which would increase the cost significantly.
