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, and disadvantaged business enterprises. The UDC has confirmed sufficient funding for the base year and anticipates similar funding for the option years, with the Office of General Counsel deeming the contract legally sufficient.

The bill outlines comprehensive requirements for the janitorial services, including insurance obligations, performance monitoring, and compliance reporting. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining high cleanliness standards and includes provisions for penalties for non-compliance. The contractor is required to submit a Quality Control Plan (QCP) to ensure adherence to cleaning standards, and the bill mandates that contractors must pay subcontractors within specified timeframes. Additionally, the bill introduces a Green Clean Program aimed at reducing environmental impact through eco-friendly cleaning practices. Overall, the legislation aims to establish clear expectations for janitorial services at UDC, ensuring that the facilities are well-maintained and conducive to learning while promoting local employment and compliance with labor laws.
