The proposed bill seeks the approval of the Council of the District of Columbia for a contract between the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) and Autumn General Contracting LLC for a roof replacement project at Sibley Plaza, valued at $1,307,680.27. This project will be financed through capital funds from the FY 2025 Approved Budget. The contract, which is structured as a one-year base agreement with options for four additional one-year renewals, is expected to be completed within 240 days. DCHA selected Autumn through a Job Order Contracting (JOC) procurement method, allowing for flexibility in managing multiple construction tasks. Although Autumn is not classified as a certified local, small, or disadvantaged business enterprise, it plans to subcontract portions of the work to certified businesses.

The bill also includes amendments to D.C. Official Code 2-352.02, specifically in sections (b)(2) and (c), to reflect the details of the proposed contract and procurement process. It outlines the legal review conducted by DCHA's Office of the General Counsel, confirming the contract's compliance with applicable regulations. The bill emphasizes the contractor's responsibilities, including adherence to construction codes, securing the work area, and ensuring minimal disruption to residents. Additionally, it mandates that if a classification necessary for the contract work does not appear in the wage determination, the contractor must submit a conformance request, ensuring fair compensation for workers engaged in federal contracts.
