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 from the FY 2024 Approved Budget and Financial Plan. DCHA selected Autumn through a competitive bidding process, where it received bids from thirteen firms, and determined that Autumn met the necessary technical requirements and relevant experience for the project. The contract includes performance standards, subcontracting goals, and a commitment from Autumn to allocate 37.92% of the work to certified businesses, despite not being a certified local, small, or disadvantaged business enterprise.

The bill also outlines specific requirements for the roofing project, including compliance with local codes, worker protections, and wage determinations under the Davis-Bacon Act. It mandates that contractors provide paid sick leave and adhere to minimum wage rates, with provisions for annual adjustments. Additionally, the bill details the scope of work, including installation and maintenance of thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing systems, warranty provisions, and responsibilities for managing hazardous materials. The project aims to ensure safety during construction and compliance with budgetary constraints, with a timeline for completion set at 240 days. Overall, the legislation emphasizes the importance of transparency, compliance with local contracting regulations, and effective management of the roofing project.
