The proposed bill seeks approval from 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 Horizon House, located at 1150 12th Street, NW, Washington, DC. The contract is valued at $1,054,295.10 and will be funded through capital funds appropriated in the FY 2025 Approved Budget and Financial Plan. The project will be executed under a Job Order Contracting (JOC) procurement method, allowing DCHA flexibility in contractor selection. The contract includes a one-year base term with options for four additional one-year renewals based on satisfactory performance, and DCHA has confirmed that Autumn has met all necessary technical requirements through a competitive bidding process.
Additionally, the bill outlines various requirements and specifications for the roof replacement project, including compliance with District construction codes, wage determinations under the Davis-Bacon Act, and paid sick leave provisions under Executive Order 13706. The contractor is responsible for ensuring minimal disruption to residents, conducting inspections, and adhering to safety standards throughout the project, which is expected to be completed within 240 days. The bill emphasizes the importance of worker protections, compliance with wage determinations, and the need for a robust contracting capacity to meet DCHA's operational needs, while also ensuring that a portion of the work is allocated to certified minority and women-owned businesses.
