(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), responsible for providing
affordable housing solutions within the District, initiated a competitive bidding process to
procure recycle collection services for DCHA properties. This process was set in motion
with the release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) on December 16, 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 three companies known for their expertise and experience in providing recycle
collection services.
The DCHA received a number of proposals from various 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, bringing in expertise from our property
management consideration. 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 th is comprehensive evaluation, one vendor w as identified as having
successfully met the technical requirements and demonstrating the capability to deliver
the required recycle collection services. This vendor w as Jerome L. Taylor Trucking,
Inc.
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 none 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.
U
ltimately, after careful consideration and thorough evaluation, Jerome L. Taylor
Trucking, Inc. emerged as the proposed contractor. Their proposal, which included a price
of $1,311,099.68 for the required recycle collection services, was deemed to offer the best
value for money while meeting all the technical and social responsibility requirements
outlined in the RFP.

(a) The work to be performed under this contract is subject to
the requirements of section 3 of the Housing and Urban
Development Act of 1968, as amended, 12 U.S.C. 1701u
(section 3). The purpose of section 3 is to ensure that
employment and other economic opportunities generated

section 3, shall, to the greatest extent feasible, be directed
to low- and very low-income persons,
particularly persons who are recipients of
HUD assistance for housing.
(b) The parties to this contract agree to comply with HUD's

As evidenced by their execution of this contract, the
parties to this contract certify that they are under no
contractual or other impediment that would prevent them
from complying with the Part 75 regulations.
(c) The contractor agrees to send to each labor organization

provided in an applicable provision of the subcontract or in
this section 3 clause, upon a finding that the subcontractor
is in violation of the regulations in 24 CFR Part 75. The
contractor will not subcontract with any subcontractor
where the contractor has notice or knowledge that the
subcontractor has been found in violation of the regulations
in 24 CFR Part 75.
(e) Noncompliance with HUD's regulations in 24 CFR Part 75
may result in sanctions, termination of this contract for

(f) Contracts, subcontracts, grants, or subgrants subject to
Section 7(b) of the Indian Self-Determination and
Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 5307(b)) or subject to

of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-
Determination Act (25 U.S.C. 4111(k)) must provide

practicable unless the Contractor determines that such
items: (1) are not reasonably available in a reasonable
period of time; (2) fail to meet reasonable performance
standards, which shall be determined on the basis of the
guidelines of the National Institute of Standards and
Technology, if applicable to the item; or (3) are only
available at an unreasonable price.
(b) Paragraph (a) of this clause shall apply to items purchased
under this contract where: (1) the Contractor purchases in
excess of $10,000 of the item under this contract; or (2) during
the preceding Federal fiscal year, the Contractor: (i) purchased
any amount of the items for use under a contract that was
funded with Federal appropriations and was with a Federal

____________________________________________________________________________________
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: $5.55 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $222.00 per week or
$962.00 per month

HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $5.09 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $203.60 per
week, or $882.27 per month*

*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-

https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-4281/34 7/10
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:
(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 **
7/30/25, 12:12 PM SAM.gov
https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-4281/34 8/10
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:
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
7/30/25, 12:12 PM SAM.gov
https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-4281/34 9/10
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))."
