The proposed bill authorizes the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) to enter into a contract with Irreno Construction Co., Inc. for stormwater management services at the Langston Additions property, with a total contract value not to exceed $3,950,000. The contract will be executed under an Indefinite-quantity Job Order Contract (JOC) framework, allowing for various construction, repair, and demolition services. The selection of Irreno Construction followed a competitive bidding process, where the company was chosen based on its qualifications, commitment to diversity, and compliance with federal and District regulations, including Section 3 requirements aimed at providing job training and employment opportunities for low-income residents. The bill also includes a resolution to authorize multiple JOC contracts for various construction services, with a maximum aggregate amount of $535 million over five years, funded through capital funds allocated in the Fiscal Year 2024 budget.

Additionally, the bill introduces modifications to the JOC program, requiring contractors to provide both a Performance Bond and a Payment Bond, each amounting to 100% of the Job Order price for contracts exceeding $150,000. It emphasizes compliance with wage determination requirements for contractors, mandating a minimum wage of at least $913.30 per hour starting January 30, 2025, and outlines provisions for paid holidays and sick leave for workers. The bill details various construction activities and associated costs for stormwater management, including excavation, landscaping, and plumbing work, while ensuring transparency in budgeting and adherence to regulatory standards. Overall, the bill aims to enhance stormwater management practices at Langston Additions while promoting equitable contracting and compliance with legal requirements.
