The proposed bill seeks approval from the Council of the District of Columbia for Contract No. DCKA-2025-C-0023 with Capitol Paving of DC, Inc., amounting to $13,264,571.50 for the civil construction of feeder 14093 as part of the DC Power Line Undergrounding Program. The contract, which has a performance period of 570 consecutive calendar days, was awarded to Capitol Paving following a competitive bidding process set aside for certified business enterprises (CBEs). Capitol Paving, a certified CBE, will self-perform 97.69% of the contract's total dollar volume, subcontracting only 2.31% to another CBE. The bill also outlines specific subcontracting requirements, mandating that at least 35% of the contract's dollar volume must be subcontracted for contracts exceeding $250,000, ensuring local business engagement and support for the local economy.

Additionally, the bill incorporates provisions from the Nonprofit Fair Compensation Act of 2020, requiring nonprofit organizations to include indirect costs in their service rates under the contract. It establishes comprehensive insurance requirements for contractors, mandates compliance with the Living Wage Act, and emphasizes the importance of hiring District residents. The bill also modifies existing legal language regarding payment processes, including interest penalties for late payments and requirements for final payments. Furthermore, it outlines procedures for claims made by contractors against the District, ensuring compliance with the DC Human Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, while clarifying the responsibilities of contractors in handling claims and site investigations.
