Washington, DC 20004
Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to D.C. Code 2-352.02 (b)(2), I have enclosed for consideration by the Council of the
District of Columbia, the Council Contract Summary for a proposed contract, in the amount of
one million three hundred thirty-four thousand three hundred ninety-one dollars and ninety-nine
cents ($1,334,391.99) between the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) and
Vigil Contracting, Inc. (Vigil). This proposed contract is for the Roof & Rooftop Fan
Replacements at Greenleaf Family, located at 203 N Street in the Southwest quadrant of
Washington, DC (the Project).
DCHA plans to enter into the contract with Vigil and finance the Project using an allocation of
$50,000,000 in capital funds appropriated by the Council of the District of Columbia in the
FY21 budget.
DCHA procured Vigil pursuant to DCHA Solicitation Number 0009-2019, a Request for Job
Order Contractors, issued on May 30, 2019. Under a Job Order Contracting (JOC) contract,
DCHA awards an approved contractor a Detailed Scope of Work and the contractor prepares a
cost proposal using a construction catalog, which contains a range of construction and
construction related tasks and prices. DCHA awarded Vigil a one-year contract with three
additional one-year options. Pending approval by the Council, DCHA proposes to award to
Vigil a contract to complete the Project.
