The proposed bill authorizes a contract between the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) and Vigil Contracting, Inc. for Phase 1 Security Camera and Access Control Upgrades at various DCHA properties, with a total contract value of $3,700,000 over a four-year period. The scope of work includes the installation of advanced security camera systems and access control measures at multiple locations, such as Woodland, Potomac Gardens, Montana, Judiciary, and James Apartments. Vigil Contracting, recognized as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), is required to comply with all applicable District codes and regulations, submit a construction schedule for approval, and ensure that all systems are operational upon completion. The contract is structured as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with a minimum award of $500,000 and a maximum of $10 million, depending on available funds.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of local employment initiatives by requiring contractors to hire Section 3 residents and provide workforce training. It outlines specific guidelines for task orders, payment procedures, and compliance with federal and local laws, including insurance requirements and conflict of interest certifications. The bill also mandates that contractors maintain accurate payroll records and adhere to wage determination requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance security at DCHA properties while promoting economic opportunities for disadvantaged individuals and ensuring accountability from contractors involved in the project.
