The proposed bill authorizes a contract between the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) and Hawks Lawn Care, LLC for grounds maintenance and landscaping services at various DCHA properties, valued at $363,112.20 over a two-year term. The selection of Hawks Lawn Care followed a competitive bidding process, where DCHA evaluated seven proposals based on qualifications, bid cost, and compliance with Section 3 requirements aimed at providing employment opportunities for low-income residents. The bill emphasizes DCHA's commitment to enhancing residents' quality of life through reliable services while promoting local businesses. It also includes provisions for compliance with federal and District regulations, particularly regarding subcontracting and procurement processes.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of contractors, including the requirement for staff to have a minimum of three years of experience, adherence to safety regulations, and the obligation to respond to complaints promptly. It establishes guidelines for contract modifications, dispute resolution, and compliance with labor regulations, including non-discrimination policies and environmental standards. The bill mandates that contractors provide certain employee benefits, such as paid vacation and sick leave, and ensures that all work produced under the contract is the exclusive property of DCHA. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency, accountability, and fair compensation in federal contracting while ensuring compliance with existing laws and regulations.
