The proposed bill authorizes the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) to enter into a contract with Vigil Contracting, LLC for the Phase 3 unit renovations at the Greenleaf Family DCHA property, with a total contract value of $4,550,000. This contract is structured as an Indefinite-quantity Job Order Contract (JOC) with a base term of one year and four optional one-year extensions, allowing for a maximum total amount of $8,000,000. The initial Job Order is valued at $4,550,000 and is expected to be completed within 270 days. The selection of Vigil Contracting was based on a competitive bidding process that evaluated their technical capabilities and commitment to social responsibility, particularly in providing job training and employment opportunities for low-income residents. The funding for this contract is sourced from the capital funds allocated to DCHA in the Fiscal Year 2025 budget.

Additionally, the bill modifies the bonding requirements for construction contracts exceeding $150,000, mandating that contractors provide both a Performance Bond and a Payment Bond, each amounting to 100% of the Job Order price. It also deletes the Bid Bond Form from the contract documents, indicating a shift in bonding requirements. The bill emphasizes compliance with federal and District laws, safety regulations, and the necessity for contractors to adhere to minimum wage rates as mandated by the Davis-Bacon Act. Overall, the bill aims to ensure fair labor practices, maintain high standards in construction projects, and enhance the living conditions and security for residents at the Greenleaf Family facility.
