The proposed bill authorizes a contract between the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) and The Matthews Group, Inc. (TMG) for the repair and repointing of the Garfield Terrace project, with a total value of $3,657,993.16 funded through the FY 2024 capital budget. The contract will be structured as a Job Order Contract (JOC), allowing for a one-year base contract with the option to renew for four additional years based on performance. TMG was selected through a competitive bidding process, and although it is not a certified local, small, or disadvantaged business, it plans to subcontract 35% of the work to Citadel, a certified entity. The bill includes a certification of legal sufficiency, ensuring compliance with federal and District regulations.

The bill outlines specific terms for the construction project, including work hours, restoration of disturbed areas, and wage determinations for various labor classifications. It emphasizes contractor compliance with reporting requirements related to contracting percentages for different business classifications and Section 3 hiring goals. The project is funded through a housing subsidy exceeding $1 million and requires approval from the D.C. Council. Overall, the bill aims to ensure that the project is completed on time, within budget, and in accordance with all applicable regulations.
