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 Five
Hundred Forty-Five Thousand Five Hundred Thirty-Four and 65/00 Dollars ($1,545,534.65) between the District of
Columbia Housing Authority (“DCHA”) and Kadcon Corporation (“Kadcon”). This proposed contract is for emergency
inspections and repairs at the Colorado, Columbia, and Elvan's Road projects located, respectively, at 5336 Colorado
Avenue, NW, 1475 Columbia Avenue, NW, and 2440 Elvan's Road, SE, Washington, DC (collectively, the “Projects”).
DCHA plans to enter into the contract with Kadcon and finance the Projects using an allocation of $1,545,534.65 in
capital funds appropriated by the Council of the District of Columbia in the District of Columbia FY 2025 Approved
Budget and Financial Plan.
DCHA partnered through a Cooperative Business Relationship with the District Department of General Services
(DGS) to purchase the necessary On-Call Construction, Repair and Replacement (CRR) Services from Contractors
selected for awards pursuant to DGS Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) No. DCAM-22-CS-RFQ-0001 for Construction
Projects. Based on the results of the DGS evaluation process, DCHA determined that Kadcon met the technical
requirements of the RFQ and has experience working on small to medium size construction projects within the
multifamily housing market that are comparable in both scale and complexity to the Projects and therefore is
capable of providing the required On-Call Construction, Repair and Replacement (CRR) Services for the Projects.
Pending approval by the Council, DCHA proposes to award to Kadcon a contract to complete the Projects. 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.
Sincerely,
Keith Pettigrew
Executive Director
 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: Kadcon Corporation
Contract Amount: $1,545,534.65
Contract Term(s): 270 Days
Source Selection Method: DCHA Cooperative Agreement Contract awarded pursuant to
DGS Request for Qualifications No. DCAM-22-CSRFQ-0001.
(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 contract for On-Call Construction, Repair, and Replacement (CRR)
Services at 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:
Physical condition of the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA)
property portfolio is managed collaboratively by DCHA Property
Management Operations (PMO) that is responsible for property management,
maintenance, and upkeep and the DCHA Office of Capital Programs (OCP)
that is responsible for modernization and rehabilitation of existing properties,
development and construction of new properties and portfolio design,
engineering, capital and master planning.
In March 2022, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) completed a DCHA On-Site Assessment and issued reporting with
findings, observations and recommendations in October 2022. The HUD
Assessment required DCHA response within 30 days and completion of all
corrective actions in response to the HUD Assessment by June 2023.
DCHA PMO and OCP require On-Call Construction, Repair and
Replacement (CRR) Services to complete immediate and ongoing repairs to
ensure safe, decent and habitable unit conditions portfolio-wide.
DCHA is an independent Government of The District of Columbia (District)
agency operating as the District’s public housing authority with all powers
necessary or appropriate to engage in providing and maintaining quality
public housing in the District of Columbia. To do so, DCHA has contracting
and procurement authority, independent of the District’s Chief Procurement
Officer and Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP). However, HUD
{0030164 -}
 authorizes contracting by Cooperative Agreement to simplify and expedite the
procurement process by relieving the Public Housing Authority (PHA) of
developing specifications or issuing solicitations provided that (1) the
agreement provides for greater economy and efficiency and is the most
economical and efficient procurement method, (2) the supplies and/or services
are common and routine in nature, (3) the soliciting agency’s procurement is
compliant with Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200-
the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards, (4) the PHA contract file documents the
intergovernmental agreement and the evaluation of cost and availability and
(5) an agreement between the PHA and a state or local governmental exists.
To meet this need, DCHA intends to partner through Cooperative Business
Relationship with the District Department of General Services (DGS) to
purchase the necessary On-Call Construction, Repair and Replacement (CRR)
Services from Contractors selected for awards pursuant to DGS Request for
Qualifications (“RFQ”) No. DCAM-22-CS-RFQ-0001 for Construction
Projects. DGS issued the solicitation on October 14, 2021 with a solicitation
closing date of November 4, 2021. The RFQ was advertised by posting the
DGS website. The solicitation included a project information meeting on
October 19, 2022 and a Question period prospective Respondents with DGS
responses posted by addendum that included an extension of the proposal
submission deadline until November 10, 2021.
The RFQ invited Statements of Qualifications (“SOQs”) from Respondents
interested in performing construction projects at DCPS, DPR, and municipal
facilities (“Project Locations”) to include building repairs, upgrades, and
tenant-fit-out improvements including, but not limited to, patching and
plumbing, carpentry, masonry, electrical as well as small park and playground
type projects as may be necessary at DCPS, DPR and municipal sites,
building repairs and upgrades, fire alarm repairs, etc. and from time to time
construction projects that need to be completed quickly; these would
primarily be in response to emergency situations such as vandalism, structural
failures, or other life safety issues. The RFQ further stated the intent to
establish a roster of pre-qualified contractors that can quickly compete for
construction projects work for the Project Locations with work detailed and
released through competitive Task Order Agreements issued pursuant to
Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts awarded in
response to Requests for Task Order Proposals (RFTOP).
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) Past
Performance, Experience & References worth up to 25 Points; (2) Key
Personnel worth up to 25 points; (3) Project Management Plan worth up to 25
Points; and (4) Capacity worth up to 25 points. In addition to the technical
{0030164 -}
 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
Chiaramonte Construction Company LLC, Bennet Group, Keystone Plus
Construction Company, Kadcon and Protec Construction met the technical
requirements of the RFQ, have experience working on small to medium size
construction projects within the multifamily housing market that are
comparable in both scale and complexity to the upcoming projects at DCHA
and therefore qualified respondents capable of providing the required On-Call
Construction, Repair and Replacement (CRR) Services.
DCHA determined that award by Cooperative Agreement pursuant to the DGS Request
for Qualification solicitation was reasonable and the most expedient means to award
services timely. DCHA further determined that the award of IDIQ contract establishes
the necessary Contractor capacity to provide services on an On-Call basis as services are
needed to complete immediate and ongoing repairs to ensure safe, decent and habitable
unit conditions portfolio-wide.
DCHA will pay for such services with proceeds from the District of Columbia Public
Housing Rehabilitation Fund. Services will be awarded at the Task Order level as
services are required for a specific and detailed scope of work. DCHA will determine
the scope of work to include joint project scope walks with the Contractor as needed,
issue the project detailed scope of work with a Wage Determination to request
Contractor schedule and cost proposal. DCHA will issue a Task Order for the agreed
upon scope, schedule and cost proposal.

involved occupied renovation, which are similar to the work required at DC Housing
Authority (DCHA). The experience and expertise of Kadcon make them well-suited for
the demands of this initiative.

construction documents and consistent with all District code and building regulations.
