COUNCIL CONTRACT SUMMARY
Pursuant to D.C. Official Code § 2-352.02(c), as amended, the following is provided:
(1) The name of the proposed contractor, the contract/loan amount, and the term of
the proposed contract:
Contractor: GMJ Facilities, LLC
Contract Amount: $223,826.48
Contract Term(s): Two Years
Source Selection Method: RFP 41-2024
DCHA has the option to extend the contract for three (3) one (1) year terms. The costs for
the option years (if any) will be determined at the time the option is exercised.
(2) Description of the Goods and Services to be provided:
Pursuant to D.C. Official Code § 2- 352.02(b)(2), as amended, I have enclosed for
consideration the Janitoria l Services Contract for the Various DCHA Properties located
throughout the quadrants of Washington, DC.
(3) A description of the selection process, including the number of offerors, the
evaluation criteria, the evaluation results, and the basis for selecting t he
proposed contractor:
The District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA), responsible for providing
affordable housing solutions within the District, initiated a competitive bidding process to
procure janitorial services for a selection of its buildings. This process was set in motion
with the release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) on July 1, 2024.
To ensure maximum visibility and encourage a wide range of participation, the RFP was
advertised extensively in both print and online media. Prominent publications such as The
Washington Post, Washington Informer, Washington Times, and El Tiempo Latino carried
the advertisement, reaching a diverse audience across the District. Additionally, the RFP
was prominently displayed on the DCHA website, providing easy online access to
potential bidders. Furthermore, to ensure a competitive field, the RFP was directly issued
to seven companies known for their expertise and experience in providing janitorial
services.
The DCHA received seven (7) proposals from vendors in response to the RFP. To ensure
a fair and impartial evaluation, a dedicated review panel was convened. This panel
comprised experienced staff members from DCHA's Property Management Operations
and Office of Public Safety, bringing together expertise in both housing management and
security considerations. The evaluation process was rigorous, focusing not only on the
technical requirements outlined in the RFP but also on the vendors' Section 3 plans. These
plans, a key component of the evaluation, aimed to promote job training and employment
opportunities for low-income residents, aligning with DCHA's commitment to social and
economic upliftment within the District.
Based on this comprehensive evaluation, four vendors were identified as having
successfully met the technical requirements and demonstrating the capability to deliver
the required janitorial services. These vendors were Kovais Innovative Solutions, Rock
Solid, GMJ Facilities, and Lonch.
However, the selection process did not end there. To ensure compliance with government
regulations and maintain the highest standards of integrity, DCHA staff conducted a
further review of the qualified vendors using the System for Award Management. This
crucial step ensured that no ne of the vendors were debarred or suspended from doing
business with either the federal or District government, safeguarding the procurement
process from potential legal or ethical complications.
Ultimately, after careful consideration and thorough evaluation, GMJ Facilities, LLC
emerged as the proposed contractor. Their proposal, which included a price of
$223,826.48 for the required janitorial services, was deemed to offer the best value for
money while meeting all the technical and social responsibility requirements outlined in
the RFP.
(4) Background and qualifications of the proposed contractor:
GMJ Facilities, LLC is a minority -owned, woman- owned business enterprise based in
Washington, D.C. Our headquarters is located at 2750 14th St Suite C2B12, Washington D.C.
20009. As a certified CBE, MBE, WBE, WOSB, LBE, SBE, DBE, and DZE business, GMJ
Facilities prides itself on its commitment to diversity and inclusion within our workforce and
our service delivery.
GMJ’s understanding of the Scope of Services required by DCHA is thorough and detailed.
GMJ recognizes the necessity for a qualified cleaning contractor to provide all labor,
materials, supplies, equipment, and supervision necessary to deliver uninterrupted janitorial
services across 32 DCHA locations. These services include regular daily cleaning, deep
cleaning, disinfection, outside maintenance, and specific room and floor care requirements.
The primary goal is to maintain a clean, safe, and hygienic environment for all residents and
staff.
GMJ Facilities has a proven track record in providing comprehensive janitorial services to
similar clients, including various departments within the District of Columbia; to include The
DC Department of General Services, Metropolitan Police Departmen t and Department of
Health. Our experience includes managing and executing enhanced cleaning services and the
use of advanced technologies to improve service delivery. We have successfully managed
contracts of comparable scope and complexity, demonstrating our capability to meet the high
standards expected by DCHA.
Proven Experience with DCHA Contracts:
As of date, GMJ Facilities, LLC does not have any past experience with DCHA.
(5) Performance standards and expected outcomes of the proposed contract:
DCHA expects that the Janitorial Services required under this contract will provide daily or
quarterly cleaning for properties. The DCHA mid-rise and high-rise apartment buildings
will receive daily janitorial services to keep the buildings maintained throughout the day;
while the walk-up buildings will receive quarterly services that will include deep cleaning
of walls, flooring, etc.
(6) Description of the funding source for the proposed agreement and a
certification that the proposed agreement is consistent with the
District's financial plan and budget:
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development provided funds to
DCHA for DCHA’s 2025 Fiscal Year federal operating budget. The attached CFO
Certification states that the funds in DCHA’s 2025 Fiscal Year federal operating budget
are available to DCHA for administration in Fiscal Year 2025.
(7) A certification of legal sufficiency:
The Legal Sufficiency Memorandum is attached.
(8) A certification that the proposed contractor's/proposed owner is in
disadvantaged business enterprise.
GMJ Facilities LLC is in good standing in the District of Columbia and is a CBE (see
attached certificate), MBE, WBE, WOSB, LBE, SBE, DBE, DZE business concern.
DC Code Sec. 2-218.46(a)(2) requires all non-construction contracts for “government-
assisted projects” valued in excess of $250,000 to include certain subcontracting
requirements. These generally include at least 35% of the dollar value of the contract to be
subcontracted to a CBE.
GMJ Facilities’ contract does not involve any of the enumerated items listed in the
definition of a “government-assisted project,” most significantly because it does not involve
District funds or funds administered by the District. The GMJ Facilities contract will be
funded with HUD reserves currently in DCHA’s 2025 Fiscal Year federal operating budget.
The definition of “government-assisted project” also qualifies its applicability as “to the
extent not prohibited by federal law”. DCHA is bound by HUD regulations and policy
guidance regarding contracting using federal funds. Under 2 CFR 200.319(c), a non-
federal entity, such as DCHA, is prohibited from conducting procurements that involve
“statutorily or administratively imposed state, local, or tribal geographical preferences in the
evaluation of bids or proposals, except in those cases where applicable Federal statutes
expressly mandate or encourage geographic preference.”
The CBE subcontracting requirement in DC Code Sec. 2-218.46(a)(2) is an explicit
geographic preference that mandates contract awards (via subcontracting) to District-based
businesses. Requiring a contract to have a certain portion of its value go to a business
located in DC is an explicit geographic preference that is prohibited by 2 CFR 200.319(c).
Lastly, the HUD Procurement Handbook for Public Housing Agencies has an explicit
prohibition on PHA compliance with local procurement rules that impose geographic
preference restrictions. (See, Handbook Sec. 13.2A). This provision cites the former 24
CFR 85.36(c)(2), which has since been replaced by 2 CFR 200.319(c).
(9) Statement indicating whether the proposed contractor is currently
debarred from providing services or good to the District or federal
government:
DCHA’s Office of Administrative Service has conducted a federal and local
search of GMJ Facilities, LLC and has found no evidence of federal or
District debarment.

GMJ Facilities
Greetings,
Hope all is well! Please see our proposed Section 3 Action Plan for DCHA. Please let us
know if there is any additional information that you may need.
Additionally, below we have outlined our Section 3 Action Plan Strategy in full
transparency. Please let us know if any clarification is required.
GMJ Facilities Section 3 Action Plan for DC Housing Authority Janitorial Contract
GMJ Facilities, LLC is committed to adhering to the principles of the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 3 program, which ensures that
employment, training, and contracting opportunities generated by certain HUD-
funded projects are, to the greatest extent feasible, directed to low- and very low-
income persons, particularly residents of HUD-assisted housing. As part of the DC
Housing Authority (DCHA) janitorial contract, GMJ Facilities shall develop and
implement a comprehensive Section 3 Action Plan to meet the goals of the program
while supporting the local community.
Utilization of GMJ Facilities' Human Resource (HR) Hiring and Recruiting Team:
GMJ Facilities' in-house Human Resource Hiring and Recruiting Team will play a
pivotal role in ensuring the successful recruitment of Section 3 residents. The team
has extensive experience in workforce development and will be specifically tasked
with the following actions to meet the Section 3 hiring goals:
1. Identifying Section 3 Eligible Residents:
GMJ's HR Team will work closely with local community organizations, job
training programs, and public housing authorities to identify individuals who
qualify as Section 3 residents, ensuring compliance with HUD guidelines. The
team will focus on residents of the DCHA and other local low-income housing
programs.
2. Tailored Recruitment Strategies:
GMJ’s HR Team will employ targeted recruitment strategies that are designed
to engage Section 3 residents, including:
- Posting job vacancies in local community centers, HUD-sponsored websites,
and DCHA bulletin boards.
- Hosting job fairs and information sessions specifically designed to introduce
Section 3 residents to employment opportunities within the janitorial
contract.
- Offering pre-employment workshops on resume building, interview
preparation, and basic job skills training to increase the employability of
Section 3 candidates.
3. Collaboration with Local Training Programs:
GMJ’s HR team will partner with local workforce development and vocational
training centers to source qualified Section 3 residents. This includes
connecting with training programs that specialize in janitorial and facilities
maintenance, ensuring that Section 3 residents are adequately prepared for
the job requirements.
4. Internal Job Readiness Program:
GMJ will leverage its internal training resources to provide on-the-job
training for Section 3 residents, helping them acquire the skills necessary for
long-term employment within GMJ. The training will focus on janitorial
services, safety protocols, and customer service excellence.
Collaboration with DCHA’s Section 3 Recruiting Team:
GMJ Facilities is committed to working in close partnership with DCHA’s
Section 3 recruiting team to maximize the employment of Section 3 residents.
This collaboration will include:
1. Coordinated Recruiting Efforts:
GMJ’s HR Team will coordinate directly with DCHA’s Section 3 recruiting
team to identify qualified candidates. By aligning recruiting efforts, GMJ will
ensure that job opportunities are effectively communicated to Section 3
residents. This collaboration will involve regular meetings to review the
recruitment process, share applicant lists, and jointly conduct outreach
events in the local community.
2. Job Matching Services:
DCHA’s Section 3 recruiting team will assist GMJ in matching available job
opportunities with Section 3 residents who have the necessary skills and
qualifications. This process will help GMJ identify pre-screened and qualified
candidates, expediting the hiring process.
3. Quarterly Hiring and Compliance Review Meetings:
To ensure that hiring goals are met and compliance with Section 3
requirements is maintained, GMJ will participate in quarterly review
meetings with DCHA’s Section 3 team. These meetings will focus on
evaluating recruitment progress, identifying any challenges, and
implementing corrective actions if necessary to meet Section 3 hiring targets.
Commitment to Employment Targets:
GMJ Facilities understands the importance of providing meaningful
employment opportunities to Section 3 residents. As part of the Section 3
Action Plan, GMJ commits to the following targets:
- A minimum of 30% of all new hires for the DCHA janitorial project will be
Section 3 residents.
- GMJ will prioritize hiring Section 3 residents for all available entry-level and
skilled positions.
- GMJ will track and report on its Section 3 hiring progress and will make any
necessary adjustments to recruitment strategies to ensure compliance with
Section 3 regulations.
GMJ Facilities is dedicated to the principles of the Section 3 program and will
leverage its in-house HR Hiring and Recruiting Team, in partnership with DCHA’s
Section 3 recruiting team, to meet and exceed the Section 3 hiring goals. Through a
focused recruitment strategy, ongoing collaboration with DCHA, and a commitment
to workforce development, GMJ aims to create sustainable job opportunities for
Section 3 residents, contributing to the economic empowerment of the local
community.

6/27/24, 11:14 AM SAM.gov
https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-4281/29 7/11
with the federal government in connection with seasonal recreational services or
seasonal recreational equipment rental for the general public on federal lands. The
minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 also are not currently being
enforced as to any contract or subcontract to which the states of Texas, Louisiana,
or Mississippi, including their agencies, are a party.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal
Contractors, applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act for which
the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1,
2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees
with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid
sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their
own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to
assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill,
injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for
reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family
to the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or
stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections
under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.
ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:
HEALTH & WELFARE: $4.98 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $199.20 per week or
$863.20 per month
HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.57 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $182.80 per
week, or $792.13 per month*
*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-
covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal
Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any
paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.
VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or
successor, 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service
includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or
successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the
performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)
HOLIDAYS: A minimum of eleven paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin
Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth
National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans'
Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of
the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated
to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)
THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:
1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: This wage determination does not apply to any individual
employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, as
defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. (See 41 C.F.R. 6701(3)). Because most Computer
Systems Analysts and Computer Programmers who are paid at least $27.63 per hour (or
at least $684 per week if paid on a salary or fee basis) likely qualify as exempt
computer professionals under 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1) and 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(17), this wage
determination may not include wage rates for all occupations within those job
families. In such instances, a conformance will be necessary if there are nonexempt
employees in these job families working on the contract.
Job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, and are not
determinative of whether an employee is an exempt computer professional. To be
exempt, computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements must also have
a primary duty that consists of:
6/27/24, 11:14 AM SAM.gov
https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-4281/29 8/11
(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including
consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional
specifications;
(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or
modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and
related to user or system design specifications;
(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer
programs related to machine operating systems; or
(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which
requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).
Any computer employee who meets the applicable compensation requirements and the
above duties test qualifies as an exempt computer professional under both section
13(a)(1) and section 13(a)(17) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. (Field Assistance
Bulletin No. 2006-3 (Dec. 14, 2006)). Accordingly, this wage determination will not
apply to any exempt computer employee regardless of which of these two exemptions is
utilized.
2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you
work at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differential
and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.
If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your
regularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday
premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime
(i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered
overtime work).
** HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL **
An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that
represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to
ordnance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as
screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordnance, explosives,
and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder.
All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization,
modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitive
ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving re-grading
and cleaning of artillery ranges.
A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that
represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to
ordnance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials
which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the
employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like;
minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All
operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordnance, explosive, and
incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials
are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for
ordnance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.
** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **
If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract
(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or
local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by
laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an
employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage
determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the
following standards as compliance:
6/27/24, 11:14 AM SAM.gov
https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-4281/29 9/11
The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an
adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual
cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made
the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to
this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining
agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary
affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning
and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, in
those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of ""wash and wear""
materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and do
not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial
laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms
of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work,
there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.
** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS **
The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the
""Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations"", Fifth Edition (Revision 1),
dated September 2015, unless otherwise indicated.
** REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE, Standard
Form 1444 (SF-1444) **
Conformance Process:
The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is
not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to
be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage
determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable
relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted
classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR
4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractor
prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees
(See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final
determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits which
shall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day
of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failure
to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested
parties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the
date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act
and this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). When multiple wage determinations are
included in a contract, a separate SF-1444 should be prepared for each wage
determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.
The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:
1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed
occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).
2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order
the proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each
proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wage
rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the
authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorized
representative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the
contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees
performs any contract work.
3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report
of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent
information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the U.S.
Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).

4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or
disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or
notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process
the request.
5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour Division's decision to the
contractor.
6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy
of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See
29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).
Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF-1444 or bond paper.
When preparing a conformance request, the ""Service Contract Act Directory of
Occupations"" should be used to compare job definitions to ensure that duties
requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage
determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that
determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.
Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivide
classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1))."
