Section 75 DCAMM Maintenance Services Contracts 4

Subsection 1 of section 44A of chapter 149 of the General Laws, as so appearing, is hereby amended by inserting after the definition of "Eligible" the following definition:-
"Maintenance service contract", a multi-year contract exclusively for the ongoing, periodic maintenance, including maintaining, servicing, testing and incidental repairs, of 1 or more of the following building systems: (i) electrical; (ii) elevator; (iii) fire protection sprinkler system, as defined in section 81 of chapter 146, and fire alarm system; (iv) heating, ventilating and air-conditioning and any associated mechanical system; or (v) plumbing.

This section, along with other related sections, makes multi-year maintenance service contracts subject to the requirements of Chapter 30, which governs the purchasing of goods, supplies, and services, rather than Chapter 149, which governs vertical construction projects.
