The proposed bill seeks the Council's approval for a contract with CAP Innovative Design LLC, also known as CAP16 Construction, for construction, repair, and replacement services on District-owned properties, with a total value not to exceed $15,000,000. The contract is set for one year, with the option to extend for four additional one-year periods. Services will be awarded through task orders, and the contractor is required to subcontract at least 50% of the work to promote diversity and equal opportunity. The selection process involved a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) that received 51 submissions, with CAP16 Construction being one of the 31 firms selected based on a technical evaluation. The bill emphasizes the importance of competitive task orders and compliance with District and federal tax obligations.

Additionally, the bill outlines various responsibilities and requirements for contractors, including the submission of electronic payment requests, coordination with project managers, and adherence to safety and quality standards. It establishes a scoring preference system for prime contractors based on their business certifications, with specific provisions for subcontracting and compliance reporting. The bill also mandates compliance with labor standards, ethical conduct, and anti-corruption measures, ensuring that contractors pay prevailing wages and adhere to the Living Wage Act. Overall, the legislation aims to streamline the procurement process while promoting fair labor practices, transparency, and accountability in government contracting.
