The proposed bill authorizes a contract between the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) and Centennial Contractors Enterprises Inc. for the replacement of elevators at the Horizon Apartments, with a total value of $1,399,999.91. This project is part of DCHA's FY 2026 Approved Budget and Financial Plan and will be executed under a Job Order Contracting (JOC) framework. The contract stipulates that Centennial must maintain at least one operational elevator throughout the construction period and comply with all relevant building codes and safety standards. While Centennial is not a certified local or disadvantaged business, its subcontractor, Collins Elevator, is a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) and a Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) that will perform a significant portion of the work.

Additionally, the bill allows for the execution of multiple JOC contracts for various construction and maintenance projects across DCHA properties, with a minimum aggregate amount of $525,000 and a maximum of $535 million over five years. It also outlines wage rates and fringe benefits for various classifications of construction workers, ensuring compliance with federal wage regulations, including the Davis-Bacon Act. The bill emphasizes worker protections, including provisions for paid sick leave and holidays, and establishes a process for appeals regarding wage determinations. Overall, the legislation aims to modernize DCHA's infrastructure while ensuring fair compensation and protections for workers involved in these projects.
