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 (b)(2), I have enclosed for consideration by the Council of the
District of Columbia (“Council”), the Council Contract Summary for a proposed contract, in the
amount of Eight Million Three Hundred Ninety-Nine Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-Seven
and 73/00 Dollars ($8,399,277.73) between the District of Columbia Housing Authority
(“DCHA”) and Consys Inc. (“Consys”). This proposed contract is for the Stabilization of 58
Townhomes at Woodland Terrace located at 2311 Ainger Place in the Southeast quadrant of
Washington, D.C (the “Project”).
DCHA plans to enter into the contract with Consys and finance the Project using an allocation of
$51,132,188 in capital funds appropriated by the Council in the FY 23 budget.
DCHA procured Consys pursuant to DCHA Solicitation Number 0008-2019, a Request for Job
Order Contractors. Under a Job Order Contracting (“JOC”) contract, DCHA awards an
approved contractor a Detailed Scope of Work and the contractor prepares a cost proposal using
a construction catalog, which contains a range of construction and construction related tasks and
prices. DCHA awarded Consys a one-year contract with four additional one-year options.
Pending approval by the Council, DCHA proposes to award to Consys a contract to complete
the Project.

As always, I am available to discuss any questions you may have regarding the proposed
contract. In order to facilitate a response to any questions concerning this action, please have
your staff contact Jenna Cevasco, Chief of Staff (202) 384-0385.

COUNCIL CONTRACT SUMMARY
Pursuant to D.C. Official Code § 2-352.02(c), as amended, the following is provided:
(1) The name of the proposed contractor, the contract/loan amount, and the term of
the proposed contract:
Contractor: Consys Inc. (“Consys”)
Contract Amount: $8,399,277.73
Contract Term(s): 360 days
Source Selection Method: Job Order Contracting Procurement
(2) Description of the Goods and Services to be provided:
Pursuant to D.C. Official Code § 2-352.02(b)(2), as amended, I have enclosed for
consideration the Job Order Contract ("JOC") for the Stabilize 58 Townhouses at
Woodland Terrace located at 2311 Ainger Place Southeast quadrant of Washington, DC
(the “Project”).
(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 has determined that the proposed contract meets the procurement and
selection requirements applicable to DCHA.
The JOC procurement is a duly recognized procurement method that allows DCHA to
select numerous construction contractors for multi-year contracts. This method allows
DCHA to undertake a wide variety of renovation, repair and construction projects
throughout its portfolio without having to specify the projects on which a particular
contractor will work. Under the JOC, the contractor receives from DCHA an approved
Detailed Scope of Work and the contractor prepares a cost proposal using a construction
catalog which contains a range of construction and construction-related tasks and prices.
Each task has a complete and detailed description, an established unit of measure, and an
established unit price. The unit price includes the direct cost of labor, materials, and
equipment.
On Sunday April 14, 2019, DCHA advertised in the local newspapers. DCHA issued
“Solicitation Numbers IFB-2019, a Request for Job Order Contractors.” The
procurement solicited bids from qualified construction companies who had the
capacity, experience, staff, and ability to undertake numerous projects. In addition, the
solicitation stated that DCHA would award a one-year base contract with options to
award four additional one-year contracts, based on satisfactory performance.
In response to the IFB-2019 solicitation, DCHA received bids from thirteen (13) firms
and made thirteen (13) awards.1 Among those selected, DCHA awarded a JOC to
1
Of the eleven (11) firms that submitted bids, six (6) firms submitted multiple bids.
{0030164 -}
Consys Inc. under Solicitation Number 0007-2019 for a one-year base contract, with a
four (4), year optional annual contract to renew.
Accordingly, DCHA has an existing JOC with Consys Inc. and has provided Consys
Inc. with a Detailed Scope of Work for the Project. Consys Inc. has evaluated the scope
of work and has submitted a price of $8,399,277.73 to construct the Project.
The initiation and completion of the required work are clearly within the scope of the
services to be provided by the procured contractor. The scope of work for the Project
contains sufficient details and plans. DCHA will pay for such services with proceeds
from the District of Columbia Public Housing Rehabilitation Fund.
(4) Background and qualifications of the proposed contractor:
Since the award of the JOC to Consys Inc. on August 29, 2019, DCHA has awarded 12
individual task orders with a total value of $11,929,249.70 Consys Inc. has successfully
completed this work on time and within budget for these projects.
(5) Performance standards and expected outcomes of the proposed contract:
DCHA expects that the Project will be constructed according to approved construction
documents and consistent with all District code and building regulations. The contractor
is also responsible for meeting LSBDE subcontracting goals and employment goals as
required by DCHA and the District.
(6) Description of the funding source for the proposed agreement and a
certification that the proposed agreement is consistent with the
District's financial plan and budget:
In 2016, the Public Housing Rehabilitation Amendment Act of 2016 (the
“Rehabilitation Amendment Act”) was introduced to amend the District of
Columbia Housing Authority Act of 1999. The Rehabilitation Amendment Act
allows for the transfer of unspent Local Rent Supplement Funds to the DCHA
Public Housing Rehabilitation Fund (the “Fund”).
The Fund allows DCHA to conduct necessary repairs, rehabilitation and renovation
of public housing units that are needed to prevent occupied public housing units
from becoming uninhabitable. DCHA is restricted to using the funds on properties
that are planned to remain in DCHA’s inventory.
DCHA has allocated funds for this Project in accordance with the Fund
requirements.
{0030164 -}
(7) A certification of legal sufficiency:
The Legal Sufficiency Memorandum is attached.
(8) A certification that the proposed contractor's/proposed owner is in
compliance with District tax laws:
The District tax law compliance certification is attached.
(9) The status of the proposed contractor as a certified local, small or
disadvantaged business enterprise.
Consys Inc.. is a CBE, MBE & SBE business.
(10) A statement indicating whether the proposed contractor is currently
debarred from providing services or good to the District or federal
government:

search of Consys Inc. and has found no evidence of federal or District
debarment.
