The proposed bill seeks approval from the Council of the District of Columbia for a contract with Rivian, LLC, valued at $8,392,500, to supply electric pickup trucks to the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) for a one-year period. This contract is classified as a sole source procurement, as Rivian is the only company that meets the specific vehicle requirements set by the District. The bill also includes a waiver of the 35% subcontracting requirement under the Small, Local, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Development and Assistance Act, eliminating the need for a subcontracting plan. The contract aims to support the District's environmental goals by promoting zero-emission transportation.

In addition to the vehicle procurement, the bill introduces several amendments to the Standard Contract Provisions, including a new clause regarding "Rights in Data," which clarifies ownership and rights associated with deliverables. It also establishes comprehensive insurance requirements for contractors, including coverage for general liability, automobile liability, and crime insurance. The bill replaces the existing Non-Discrimination Clause with a more detailed provision that mandates affirmative action to prevent discrimination in employment. Furthermore, it removes the previous Cost and Pricing Data clause and incorporates a Contractor Data Protection Addendum, while allowing the contract to be extended to public agencies across the U.S. Overall, the bill aims to enhance clarity, compliance, and accountability in government contracting processes.
