The proposed bill seeks the Council's approval for Contract No. DCAM-25-CS-RFQ-0003V with One Kare Enterprise, LLC, for construction, repair, and replacement (CRR) services at various District-owned properties, with a contract value not to exceed $15,000,000 for a one-year term, extendable for four additional one-year periods. The contract will be awarded through task orders covering a range of services, including electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and general facility maintenance. One Kare Enterprise, a certified minority woman-owned small business, was selected through a competitive Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process involving 51 offerors. The bill also emphasizes the issuance of a Certificate of Clean Hands, ensuring that only compliant entities can operate legally within the District.

Additionally, the bill establishes a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) for CRR services, outlining contractor responsibilities, including coordination with project managers, submission of safety and quality plans, and compliance with safety regulations. It specifies conditions for classifying construction delays as excusable or non-excusable, payment provisions, and subcontracting requirements aimed at enhancing participation from local and disadvantaged businesses. The bill mandates that contractors adhere to ethical standards, maintain accurate records, and comply with various laws, including the Davis-Bacon Act and the Living Wage Act. Overall, the legislation aims to ensure efficient project execution, promote fair employment practices, and enhance accountability in government contracting.
