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 One Million Five Hundred Thirty­
Three Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty-Seven and 48/00 Dollars ($1,533,967.48) between the District of Columbia
Housing Authority ("OCHA") and Irreno Construction Company, Inc. ("Irreno"). This proposed contract is for bathroom
and kitchen exhaust replacements under the Child Healthy Homes Project for the Kenilworth Courts project located at
4501 Quarles St NE, the Hopkins project at 1430 L Street SE., the Langston Terrace project located at 2101 G Street NE,
the Potomac Gardens located at 1225 G St SE, and the Woodland Terrace project located at 2311 Ainger Place, SE
(collectively, the "Projects").
OCHA plans to enter into the contract with Irreno and finance the Project using an allocation of $1,533,967.48 in capital
funds appropriated by the Council of the District of Columbia in the District of Columbia FY 2024 Approved Budget
and Financial Plan.
OCHA procured Irreno pursuant to OCHA Solicitation Number 0007-2019, a Request for Job Order Contractors.
Under a Job Order Contracting ("JOC") contract, OCHA 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. OCHA awarded Irreno a one-year contract with four additional one-year options.
Pending approval by the Council, OCHA proposes to award to Irreno 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 Alethea McNair, my Chief of Staff, at
(202) 993-8190.
I look forward to your favorable consideration of this proposed contract.

(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 April 15, 2019, DCHA advertised an Invitation for Bid (“IFB”) with Solicitation
Number, IFB-2019, a Request for Job Order Contractors in the Washington Post, Afro
American, The Current Newspaper, The Washington Informer, Hill Rag, El Tiempo
Latino, and East of the River. Copies were mailed to all District Government Certified
Business Entity Members and all District of Columbia Department of Housing and

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 eighty-seven (87)
firms and made thirteen (13) awards. Among those selected, DCHA awarded a JOC to
Irreno Construction Company, Inc. under Solicitation Number 0008-2019 for a one (1)
year base contract with options to award four (4) additional one (1) year contracts, to
renew with a minimum contract amount of $25,000 and a maximum contract amount
of $7,000,000 with a maximum aggregate contract total amount of $35,000,000.
Accordingly, DCHA has an existing JOC with Irreno Construction Company Inc and
has provided Irreno Construction Company Inc with a Detailed Scope of Work for the
Project. Irreno Construction Company Inc has evaluated the scope of work and has
submitted a price of $1,533,967.48 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 capital funds appropriated by the Council of the District of Columbia in the District
of Columbia FY 2024 Approved Budget and Financial Plan.
(4) Background and qualifications of the proposed contractor:
Since award of the JOC to Irreno Construction Company Inc on August 29, 2019, DCHA
has awarded 17 individual task orders with a total value of $20,856,697.85. Irreno
Construction Company, 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:
The funding source for the proposed agreement will be capital funds appropriated by
the Council of the District of Columbia in the FY 2024 Approved Budget and
Financial Plan.
