The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-24-CS-RFP-0009 with Atmos Solutions, Inc. by increasing the contract's not-to-exceed amount by $4,632,352.63, raising the total contract value from $3,403,056.74 to $8,035,409.37. This modification is essential for Atmos Solutions to complete the renovation of the District of Columbia Stabilization and Sobering Center located at Park Road, with a substantial completion date set for November 14, 2026. The modification will establish a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the renovation project, which will be executed in two phases: the Design and Preconstruction Phase, followed by the Construction Phase. The bill also emphasizes that no purchases for ineligible items should occur until operating funds are available, and any work performed without prior written authorization will be at the contractor's own risk.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to enhance the participation of Certified Business Enterprises (CBEs) in government contracts, requiring prime contractors to allocate a significant portion of the contract to CBEs and mandating transparency regarding lower-tier CBE subcontractors. It also outlines the responsibilities of employers involved in government-assisted projects valued at $300,000 or more, mandating the submission of a First Source Employment Agreement to ensure a significant percentage of new hires are District residents. The bill emphasizes local hiring, compliance monitoring, and the establishment of penalties for non-compliance, aiming to enhance workforce utilization and support local employment through structured accountability measures.
