The proposed bill seeks the approval of the Council of the District of Columbia for a multi-year contract between the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) and Tyson Project Management Group, LLC (TPM) for janitorial services. The contract, identified as No. GF-2025-C-0020, will cover approximately 1.2 million square feet of university property, with a base year cost of $2,912,833.55 and a total contract amount not to exceed $15,447,657.41 over five years, including four option years. The contract is performance-based, ensuring quality service delivery through established standards, and includes a subcontracting plan that meets the 35% requirement for local, small, or disadvantaged business enterprises.

The bill also establishes the roles of the Contracting Officer and Contract Administrator, detailing their responsibilities in overseeing contract compliance and performance. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of maintaining high standards of cleanliness and sustainability, with specific cleaning protocols and performance standards outlined to ensure a clean and safe environment for students, staff, and visitors at UDC.
