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 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 2024 Approved Budget and Financial Plan. The contract includes a one-year base term with options for four additional one-year renewals based on satisfactory performance. DCHA selected Autumn through a competitive bidding process, ensuring compliance with local subcontracting goals, which require that 37.92% of the work be performed by certified local, small, or disadvantaged business enterprises.

Additionally, the bill outlines various requirements for the project, including adherence to wage determinations under the Davis-Bacon Act, which mandates minimum wage rates for construction workers. It specifies that contracts awarded on or after January 30, 2022, must pay a minimum wage of $16.28 per hour, while those awarded between January 1, 2015, and January 23, 2022, must pay at least $12.15 per hour if not renewed after January 30, 2022. The bill also emphasizes compliance with paid sick leave provisions and outlines the contractor's responsibilities regarding safety, inspections, and proper handling of materials during the project. Overall, the bill establishes a comprehensive framework for the roof replacement project, ensuring safety, compliance, and effective communication between the contractor and DCHA.
