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 One Million Four Hundred Ninety-One Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Nine and
29/00 Dollars ($1,491,399.29) between the District of Columbia Housing Authority ("OCHA")
and The Matthews Group, Inc. ("TMG"). This proposed contract is for lead abatement and
make ready units work at the Garfield Senior project located at 5231 Cloud Place and 2301 11th
Street in the Northwest quadrant of Washington, DC (the "Project").
OCHA plans to enter into the contract with TMG and finance the Project using an allocation of
$1,491,399.29 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 TMG 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 TMG a one-year contract with four additional one-year options.
Pending approval by the Council, OCHA proposes to award to TMG a contract to complete the
Project.

(1) The name of the proposed contractor, the contract/loan amount, and the term of
the proposed contract:
Contractor: The Matthews Group, Inc.
Contractor Principal: Tanya Matthews
Contract Amount: $1,491,399.29
Contract Term(s): 274 days
Source Selection Method: DCHA Invitation to Bid for Job Order Contractor (JOC) General
Construction, Electrical, Mechanical, Asbestos Testing and Abatement, and Lead Testing
(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 Lead Abatement in Units at Garfield
Terrace (Senior), located at 5231 Cloud Place, NE and 2301 11th Street in the Northwest
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 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
Community Development (“DHCD”) Section 3 vendors.
{0030164 -}
 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 (1) year base contract with options to
award four (4) additional one (1) 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
The Matthews Group, Inc. (“TMG”) under Solicitation Number 0007-2019 for a one-
year base contract, with a four (4), optional annual contract to renew with a minimum
contract amount of $25,000 and a maximum contract amount of $10,000,000 with a
maximum aggregate contract total amount of $50,000,000.
Accordingly, DCHA has an existing JOC with TMG and has provided TMG with a
Detailed Scope of Work for the Project. TMG has evaluated the scope of work and has
submitted a price of $1,491,399.29 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 the award of the JOC to TMG on August 29, 2019, DCHA has awarded individual
task orders with a total value of $6,543,889.23. TMG 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
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 2023 Approved Budget and Financial Plan.
(7) A certification of legal sufficiency:
The Legal Sufficiency Memorandum is attached.

(9) The status of the proposed contractor as a certified local, small or
disadvantaged business enterprise.

(10) A statement indicating whether the proposed contractor is currently

government:

search of The Matthews Group, Inc. and has found no evidence of federal or

Council for the District of Columbia for approval pursuant to D.C. Official Code § 2-
352.02(a)(1), as amended
1. Procurement Process
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 One Million Four Hundred Ninety-One Thousand
