Dear Chairman Mendelson:

Washington, DC 20002-7599

Brenda Donald, Executive Director
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 Chiaramonte Construction Company ("CCC"). 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 CCC 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 CCC through a DGS RFP DCAM-22-CS-RFP-
0001 issued on October 14, 2021. DCHA determined that CCC 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 CCC 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 Chiaramonte Construction Company Contract No. DCHA CA-XI-2023 Approval
Resolution of 2023.
www.dchousing.org As always, I am available to discuss any questions you may have regarding the proposed
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) 3 84-03 85.
I look forward to your favorable consideration
of this proposed contract.
Sincerely,
Brenda
Donald
Executive Director
