Pursuant to D.C. Official Code § 2-352.02(b)(2), as amended, I have enclosed for consideration the Transfinder
Corporation RFP 49-2024 Officer Patrol GPS Tracking Software System 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 the proposed contractor:
The District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA), entrusted with providing safe and affordable housing in
the District, recognized the critical need for ensuring that all areas within a jurisdiction are effectively patrolled.
These services are essential not only for maintaining walkable DCHA communities but also for ensuring the
safety and well-being of its residents. To address this need, DCHA initiated a competitive bidding process
through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 49-2024.
This procurement was driven by DCHA's commitment to two core initiatives: enhancing residents' quality of
life through collaboration and partnerships, and providing livable housing that supports healthy and sustainable
communities. Recognizing that existing service contracts were insufficient to meet the growing demand, DCHA
sought to secure reliable and comprehensive transportation solutions through a formal procurement process.
To ensure maximum outreach and attract a diverse pool of qualified bidders, DCHA employed a comprehensive
advertising strategy. The RFP was announced on August 5, 2024, with a closing date of August 20, 2024. The
announcement was strategically placed in a variety of print publications, including The Washington Post
Sunday Edition, Washington Informer, Afro American, The Washington Times, El Tiempo Latino, and East of
the River, ensuring broad coverage across different demographics within the District. In addition, the IFB was
distributed electronically to all District Government Certified Business Entity (CBE) members and all District
of Columbia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Section 3 vendors, further
expanding the reach and promoting inclusivity in the bidding process. Finally, the solicitation was prominently
displayed on the DCHA website and directly issued to companies known for their expertise in transportation
software solutions.
Upon re
ceiving the bids, DCHA's procurement department undertook a rigorous evaluation process. Each bid
was meticulously assessed based on a comprehensive set of criteria, including:
● Qual
ifications: Verifying the bidder's experience, expertise, and licensing to ensure they possess the
necessary skills and capacity to deliver high-quality services.
● Proposed Bid: Analyzing the cost-effectiveness of the bid, considering both pricing and the scope of
services offered.
● Section 3: Evaluating the bidder's commitment to Section 3 requirements, which mandate providing job
training, employment, and contracting opportunities to low- and very low-income residents of the
communities served by DCHA.
● References: Contacting past clients to assess the bidder's track record of performance and reliability.
● Business Enterprise Designation: Considering the bidder's status as a CBE or other designated business
enterprise, promoting DCHA's commitment to supporting local and diverse businesses.
This comprehensive evaluation process resulted in the selection of one qualified bidder: Transfinder
Corporation. This bidder demonstrated the necessary qualifications, proposed competitive bids, and showcased
a strong commitment to fulfilling DCHA's requ irements, including Section 3 obligations.
To ensure compliance with federal and District regulations, DCHA staff conducted a thorough review of the
System for Award Management. This review confirmed that none of the selected bidders were debarred or
suspended from receiving government contracts, safeguarding DCHA against potential legal or ethical issues.
Ultimately, Transfinder Corporation was awarded a two year contract (first year $70,000 and second option
year
at $64,250) for the Officer Patrol GPS Tracking Software System. This award, made through a
competitive RFP
process, reflects DCHA's commitment to selecting vendors who offer the best value for
money while meeting stringent quality standards and fulfilling social responsibility obligations. The evaluation
process will result
in the selection of multiple qualified bidders. These bidders will have demonstrated the
necessary qualifications, proposed competitive bids, and showcased a strong commitment to fulfilling
requirements, including Section 3 obligations.
(4) B
ackground and qualifications of the prop ose d contractor:
Transfinder Corporation, a company with over 36 years of experience creating transportation solutions, is
proposing their Patrolfinder software. They have extensive experience working with K-12 school districts, the
school bus transportation industry, municipal governments, and police departments. They are considered the
largest privately held firm serving these sectors. Transfinder is a market leader in several states, including
Maryland, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New York, and Texas, and is also an approved vend or for Idaho
and Illinois.
Their client base is substantial, supporting over 2,300 school districts, government agencies, and police
departments across North America and t
he Caribbean. Notably, one in three students transported to school in
North America are routed using Transfinder technology. Patrolfinder itself was designed with input from both
patrol officers and administrators, ensuring that all areas within a jurisdiction are effectively patrolled. The
system utilizes patrol goal times and customizable displays to provide real-time patrol status updates. It
le
verages technology initially developed to improve school transportation, which helps identify trouble areas,
understand traffic flow, and determine safe locations for bus stops.
Transfinder Corporation is well-known for its strong customer service, offering comprehensive implementation,
training, technical support, and ongoing service to its clients. They have a proven track record, with references
from the Schenectady Police Department, the Rotterdam Police Department, and the Glenville Police
Department. Furthermore, they are committed to social responsibility, with a plan to meet Section 3 obligations
that aim to provide economic opportunities to low- and very-low-income individuals. While not a
minority/women-owned business, Transfinder emphasizes its commitment to cr eating a diverse workforce and
ensuring equal employment opportunities.
Their implementation process is designed to be collaborative and efficient. They use a project team-based
approach with a dedicated Project Manager to ensure clear communication and coordination. Data Specialists
will work directly with the District of Columbia Housing Aut hority ( DCHA) to gather necessary maps and
pa
trol vehicle information for accurate tracking. Additionally, a dedicated Transfinder Consultant will review
operational processes, assist with configuring the administrative portal for Patrolfinder, help set goals for patrol
regions, and provide comprehensive end-user training.
(5) Performance standards and expected outcomes of the proposed contract:
The Officer Patrol GPS Tracking System, specifically the Patrolfinder sof tware, is expected to meet seve ral key
performance standards and outcomes. It should provide automated notifications of daily location checkpoint
assignments, allowing users to see these checkpoints on a map, grid, or dashboard view. The system should
have geofencing capabilities for DCHA properties, with customizable zones and the ability to c reate custom
checkpoints at key areas. Both Pa trol O fficers and Administrators should have the ability to customize
checkpoint notifications, and Administrators should be able to configure scheduled reports and reminders.
To ensure accurate tracking, users should be able to validate location checks by physically moving within
designated boundaries. The system should utilize GPS location and integrate RFID scans to confirm physical
locations. All checkpoints must be ver ified a nd automatically time-stamped, with results stored in a database.
Each checkpoint assignment should be di splayed as a task, an d com pletion should be automatically triggered
when all geofenced checkpoints are triggered. The system should also allow for on-demand checkpoints to
address hot-spot areas and support a minimum of 100 GPS-based location checkpoints per property, with the
capacity to add an unlimited number.
For effective monitoring and analysis, the system should offer a dashboard console for leadership, with
customizable reports and dashboards. These should provide insights into various metrics, including time spe nt
on property, the number of checkpoints and patrols completed, and the number of patrols not completed. Real-
time tracking of officer patrols via GPS data is crucial, along with the ability to vi sualize patrol coverage and
identify areas of concern. The system should also facilitate the definition of patrol zones and the generation of
tailored reports to monitor patrol di stribution and assess officer efficacy. Furthermore, the system should enable
the immediate distribution of critical alerts and bulletins to all patrol units, with customizable alert criteria an d
alert history tracking. Transfinder emphasizes that its software is designed to increase equitable policing,
improve dep artment transparency, and enhance both officer saf ety and efficiency. With Patrolfinder, the
de
partment can ensure comprehensive patrol cover age across its entire jurisdiction.
(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 Y
ear federal operating budget. The attached CFO certification states the funds in DCHA's 2025 Fiscal
Year f
ederal 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 compliance with District tax laws:
The District tax law compliance certification is attached.
(9) The status of the proposed contractor as a certified local, small or disadvantaged business enterprise:
Transfinder Corporation is not a certified local, small or disadvantaged business enterprise. 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.
Transfinder Corporation's 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. Transfinder Corporation's 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).
(10) A 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 Transfinder Corporation
and has found no evidence of federal or District debarment.
(11) Where the contract, if executed, will be made available online:
Contact DCHA at FOIA, foia@dchousing.org.

relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
f)The [contractor/seller] will furnish all information and reports re

and orders.
(g)In the event of the [contractor/seller]’s noncompliance with
the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of such rule
s, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated
or suspended in whole or in part and the [contractor/seller] may be

with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September
24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies in
voked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965,
or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as other
wise provided by law.
(g)In the event of the [contractor/seller]’s noncompliance with
the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of such
rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, termin
ated or suspended in whole or in part and the [contractor/seller]
may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts in acc
ordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of
September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed
and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of
September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the
Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.
(h) The [contractor/seller] will include the provisions of paragraphs

***Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under
Executive Order 14026 ($17.20 per hour) or 13658 ($12.90 per hour). Please see the
Note at the top of the wage determination for more information. Please also note
that the minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 and 13658 are not
currently being enforced as to contracts or contract-like instruments entered into
7/9/24, 11:15 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:
7/9/24, 11:15 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:
7/9/24, 11:15 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)).
7/9/24, 11:15 AM SAM.gov
https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-4281/29 10/11
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))."
