The proposed bill seeks approval for a contract (No. DCKA-2026-C-0039) with Midtown Personnel, Inc., totaling $1,697,633.90, to support the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) in traffic approvals, permit issuance, and compliance inspections as part of DC Water's lead-free initiative. The contract period is from July 30, 2026, to July 29, 2027, with an initial amount of $830,000. Although Midtown was initially deemed non-responsive due to technical deficiencies, they were selected after negotiations as the lowest responsible offeror. The bill emphasizes the contract's role in public health initiatives related to lead contamination in the District's water supply.

Additionally, the bill modifies the existing contract to extend its term through November 25, 2026, without incurring extra costs. It outlines requirements for contractors, including a subcontracting plan for contracts exceeding $250,000, mandating that at least 35% of the contract's dollar volume be subcontracted. The bill also introduces a phased staffing plan, insurance requirements, and provisions for claims resolution, ensuring compliance with District regulations. Notably, it deletes previous clauses related to cost and pricing data and emphasizes adherence to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) during contract performance.
