The proposed bill seeks the Council's approval for a contract with Sustainable Facilities Management Services, LLC, valued at up to $15 million for construction, repair, and replacement (CRR) services for various District-owned properties over a one-year period, with the option to extend for four additional years. The contract will be executed through task orders, allowing flexibility in the scope of work, which includes electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and general construction services. The contractor, a Certified Business Enterprise, was selected through a competitive Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process, ensuring that all work is awarded based on merit and need. The bill also establishes a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) that outlines the responsibilities of both parties, including compliance with tax obligations and the requirement for written task orders to authorize work.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions to enhance accountability and compliance in contractor obligations, including electronic submission of invoices, project coordination, and safety measures. It mandates that contractors conduct site walks for warranty work, hold bi-weekly progress meetings, and submit change requests for differing site conditions. The bill emphasizes the importance of timely completion, adherence to safety and quality standards, and the use of domestic materials while ensuring fair labor practices and ethical conduct. It also includes provisions for subcontracting requirements, payment processes, and penalties for breaches, aiming to promote economic inclusion and protect the interests of the District throughout the construction process.
