The Honorable Phil Mendelson
Chairman
Council of the District of Columbia
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 504
Washington, DC 20004
Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to D.C. Code §2-352.02 (a)(l), 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
up to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00) between the District of Columbia Housing
Authority ("DCHA") and The Keystone Plus Construction Corporation ("Keystone"). This
proposed contract is for on call construction, repair and replacement services to be provided to
DCHA to complete immediate and ongoing repairs in DCHA's portfolio of projects.
DCHA plans to enter into the contract with Keystone for on call construction, repair and
replacement services using capital funds appropriated by the Council of the District of Columbia
in the FY23 budget.
DCHA partners through a cooperative business relationship with District of Columbia
Department of General Services ("DGS") to purchase the necessary on call construction, repair
and replacement services from contractors selected for awards pursuant to a DGS Request for
Proposal ("RFP") solicitation. DCHA selected Keystone through a DGS RFP DCAM-22-CS-
RFP-0001 issued on October 14, 2021. DCHA determined that Keystone met the technical
requirements of the DGS RFP and has relevant experience working on multifamily housing
projects similar to the housing developments owned by DCHA and therefore is qualified and
capable of providing DCHA's required on call, construction, repair and replacement services.
Pending approval by the Council, DCHA proposes to award to Keystone a four (4) year contract
to provide on call construction, repair and replacement services to DCHA.
Concurrently, I have also enclosed for consideration by the Council the Contract for Services
with The Keystone Plus Construction Corporation Contract No. DCHA CA-XI-C-2023 Approval
Resolution of 2023 .

contract. In order to facilitate a response to any questions concerning this action, please have
your staff contact Jenna Cevasco, Chief of Staff at (202) 384-0385 .
I loo:k forward to your favorable consideration of this proposed contract.
Sincerely,
Brenda Donald
Executive Director
