The proposed bill seeks the Council's approval for a contract (No. DCKA-2024-C-0045) with Capitol Paving of D.C., Inc. for citywide pavement restoration projects, with a total not-to-exceed amount of $82,935,480. The contract is scheduled to commence on March 6, 2025, and will last until March 5, 2027. Capitol Paving will provide all necessary labor, materials, and equipment for the construction services required for local pavement restoration projects, following a competitive bidding process that identified them as the low responsive and responsible bidder. The bill also includes a letter contract allowing for an initial payment of up to $990,000 for services performed prior to the definitive contract's approval, and it emphasizes that the contractor is a certified business enterprise (CBE) that will not subcontract any work.

Additionally, the bill outlines various requirements for contractors, including compliance with the Living Wage Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and mandates that at least 35% of contracts exceeding $250,000 must be subcontracted to small and certified business enterprises. It introduces a "Buy American" clause, requiring materials used in public contracts to be sourced domestically, and establishes penalties for non-compliance. The bill also emphasizes the importance of timely completion of projects, insurance requirements for contractors, and the need for adherence to a Traffic Management Plan. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the District's infrastructure while ensuring fair labor practices and promoting local economic interests.
