The Honorable Phil Mendelson
Chairman
Council of the District of Columbia
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 504
Washington, DC 20004
Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to D.C. Code §2-352.02 (a)(1), I have enclosed for consideration by the Council of the
District of Columbia, the Council Contract Summary for a proposed contract, in the amount of
up to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00) between the District of Columbia Housing
Authority (“DCHA”) and Kadcon Corporation (“Kadcon”). This proposed contract is for on
call construction, repair and replacement services to be provided to DCHA to complete
immediate and ongoing repairs in DCHA’s portfolio of projects.
DCHA plans to enter into the contract with Kadcon for on call construction, repair and
replacement services using capital funds appropriated by the Council of the District of Columbia
in the FY23 budget.
DCHA partners through a cooperative business relationship with District of Columbia
Department of General Services (“DGS”) to purchase the necessary on call construction, repair
and replacement services from contractors selected for awards pursuant to a DGS Request for
Proposal (“RFP”) solicitation. DCHA selected Kadcon through a DGS RFP DCAM-22-CS-
RFP-0001 issued on October 14, 2021. DCHA determined that Kadcon met the technical
requirements of the DGS RFP and has relevant experience working on multifamily housing
projects similar to the housing developments owned by DCHA and therefore is qualified and
capable of providing DCHA’s required on call, construction, repair and replacement services.
Pending approval by the Council, DCHA proposes to award to Kadcon a four (4) year contract
to provide on call construction, repair and replacement services to DCHA.
Concurrently, I have also enclosed for consideration by the Council the Contract for Services
with Kadcon Corporation Contract No. DCHA CA-XI-B-2023 Approval Resolution of 2023.

contract. In order to facilitate a response to any questions concerning this action, please have
your staff contact Jenna Cevasco, Chief of Staff at (202) 384-0385.

I look forward to your favorable consideration of this proposed contract.
Sincerely,
Brenda Donald

(2) Description of the Goods and Services to be provided:
Pursuant to D.C. Official Code § 2-352.02(a)(1), as amended, I have enclosed for
consideration the Contract for Services DCHA CA-XI-B-2023 for various DCHA
properties in Washington, DC.
(3) A description of the selection process, including the number of offerors, the
evaluation criteria, the evaluation results, and the basis for selecting the proposed
contractor:
DCHA PMO and OCP require on call construction, repair and replacement
services to complete immediate and ongoing repairs to ensure safe, decent and habitable
unit conditions portfolio-wide.
To meet this need, DCHA intends to partner through a cooperative business relationship
with the District of Columbia Department of General Services
(DGS) to purchase the necessary on call construction, repair and replacement
services from contractors selected for awards pursuant to a DGS Solicitation
No. DCAM-21-CS-RFP-0001 for On Call Construction, Repair and
Replacement services (RFP). DGS issued the RFP on October 14, 2021 with
a solicitation closing date of November 4, 2021.
The RFP was advertised by posting to the DGS website. The RFP stated that
the goal of the RFP is to establish a roster of pre-qualified contractors that can
quickly compete for construction projects and that DGS may make multiple
awards and all work will be on an as needed basis and issued by Request for
Task Order Proposal authorized and released by project specific Task Order Agreements.
The solicitation included a Pre-proposal Conference on October 19, 2021, a
question period with DGS responses posted by addendum and an extension of
the proposal submission deadline until November 10, 2021.
 Thirty-two (32), proposals were received in response to the solicitation. DGS
convened a 4-member Technical Evaluation Panel that reviewed proposals
both independently and by consensus based on the following criteria: (1)
Relevant Experience and Capabilities worth up to 20 Points; (2) Project
Management Plan worth up to 30 points; (3) Key Personnel worth up to 20
Points. In addition to the technical points, up to 12 additional points were
available for each Offeror based on its status as a Certified Business
Enterprise (“CBE”) as determined by the Department of Small and Local
Business Development (“DSLBD”). The DGS Contracting Officer reviewed
the Technical Evaluation Panels assessments and ratings for each Respondent.
Based on the results of the DGS evaluation process, DCHA determined that
Kadcon Corporation (“Kadcon”) met the technical requirements of the RFQ.
Kadcon was contacted by DCHA to request information regarding their
experience on housing/residential projects. Kadcon has demonstrated
relevant experience working on similar multifamily housing projects to those
required by DCHA and therefore is a qualified respondent capable of
providing the required construction management services for DCHA.
DCHA staff performed a review of the System for Award Management dated
January 13, 2023 and determined that Kadcon does not appear as debarred or
suspended on the Federal or the District’s Excluded Parties list.
DCHA determined that a Notice of Intent Award pursuant to the DGS RFP solicitation
was reasonable and the most expedient means to award services timely.
DCHA will fund the construction management services with capital funds set forth in
DCHA’s Fiscal Year 2023 District budget (HY0).
(4) Description of any bid protests related to the award of the contract.
None
