Pursuant to D.C. Official Code § 2-352.02, I have enclosed, for consideration by the
Council of the District of Columbia, the Council Contract Summary for the Agreement to
Enter into a Long Term Subsidy Contract (“ALTSC”) between the District of Columbia
Housing Authority (“DCHA”) and 2229 M Street NE Owner LLC (the “Owner”). DCHA
proposes to provide a housing subsidy to the Owner in the initial amount of $615,228.00
annually for a multi-year term of twenty (20) years, in support of the District’s Local Rent
Supplement Program (“LRSP”) to provide affordable housing at 2229 M located at 2229 M
Street NE.
(D) The selection process, including the number of offerors, the evaluation criteria, and the
evaluation results, including price, technical or quality, and past performance
components:
In June of 2019, the District of Columbia’s Department of Housing and Community
Development (“DHCD”) issued a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) regarding the availability
of funds from multiple district agencies, including DCHA, DHCD, the Department of
Behavioral Health, the Department of Human Services, and the District of Columbia
Housing Finance Agency. Of the twenty-one (21) total proposals received, eleven (11)
developers were chosen to work with DCHA and others to develop affordable housing and
permanent supportive housing units for extremely low-income families
2
making zero to thirty percent (30%) of the area’s median income, as well as the
chronically homeless and
individuals with mental or physical disabilities throughout
Washington, DC.
After meeting the requirements for DHCD review and LRSP subsidy eligibility,
proposals were evaluated on various underwriting and prioritization criteria including
financial feasibility, project sustainability, development team capacity, amount of capital
requested, nonprofit participation, and furtherance of the development of affordable
housing. Additionally, DCHA has determined that the proposed project meets the
District of Columbia’s Consolidated Plan and the Mayor’s goal for providing affordable
housing opportunities in neighborhoods.
(E) A descript
ion of any bid protest related to the award of the contract, including
whether the protest was resolved through litigation, withdrawal of the protest by the
protestor, or voluntary corrective action by the District. Include the identity of the
protestor, the grounds alleged in the protest, and any deficiencies identified by the
District as a result of the protest:
None.
(F) The backgr
ound and qualifications of the proposed contractor, including its
organization, financial stability, personnel, and performance on past or current
government or private sector contracts with requirements similar to those of the
proposed contract:
2229 M:
OVERALL SITE CONDITIONS & SCOPE OF WORK
The Propert
y is comprised of two record lots on the south side of M Street NE, east of
21st Place NE, and north of Maryland Avenue NE. The Property is bounded by the
Arboretum Condominium complex to the west, a federally-owned triangular lot to the
east, an alley to the south, and M Street NE to the north. The Property slopes down
approximately 10 feet from north to south and approximately seven feet down from west
to east as it is located at the bottom of a hill on M Street NE. The highest point of the
Property is at its northwest corner adjacent to the Arboretum Condominium building. The
Property consists of approximately 15,068 square feet of land area and is currently
improved with a three and a half story building that was formerly used as a child
development center and a two-story building that formerly included residential units.
Both buildings are currently vacant.
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS & BUILDING-SPECIFIC SCOPES
The Appli
cant will construct a seven-story, 92-unit building with surface parking, as an
all-affordable residential project for seniors (aged 55+). The Project includes unique
architectural elements while simultaneously integrating into the surrounding
neighborhood. Each of the Project’s facades feature distinct material articulations. The
Project will provide significant public benefits and amenities, namely that the Project will
be entirely affordable and provide approximately 92 new residential units for seniors. The
Project’s affordability is provided with 90% of the units affordable at up to 50% of
median family income (“MFI”) and the remaining 10% of the units affordable at up to
3
80% of MFI. The Project will provide special value to the neighborhood by installing
four security cameras, one at each of the building’s corners. The Project will also include
streetscape improvements along its M Street frontage that exceed DDOT’s standard
requirements.
T
he immediate neighborhood around the site is generally comprised of low- to mid- rise
apartment buildings in the RA-2 Zone District to the west and south as well as significant
open spaces immediately adjacent. In addition to the unimproved property to its east, the
National Arboretum is located immediately to the north of the site, across M Street NE,
and Langston Golf Course is located to the southeast. The Trinidad Recreation Center
and Rosedale Recreation Center are also located in close proximity to the site. The site is
approximately ½ mile from an ALDI grocery store and one mile from the stores and
restaurants on the H Street Corridor. The site is served by the X8 bus line, which provides
access to Union Station, and is located approximately ¾ mile from both the 19th and
Benning and Oklahoma and Benning stops on the DC Streetcar line. It is also located
west of the Anacostia Freeway (I-295), which provides access to the remainder of
Washington DC, Maryland, and the Capital Beltway.
T
he project will be a 92-unit, all-affordable senior residential building. The project will
result in a high-quality, thoughtfully designed building that is integrated into the natural
sloping topography of the site. The resulting development will complement the existing
scale and improvements already in the neighborhood while utilizing height to create a
sense of place amid the open spaces characterizing much of its surroundings. The
building will front M Street NE, which serves as its main entrance area and will consist
of eight above-grade floors and one partially below-grade floor. There will be 10 surface
parking spaces, including two car sharing spaces, located behind the building and
accessed via an alley along the south edge of the site. A loading berth will be located at
the rear of the building and accessed off the alley, and the service/delivery space will be
located adjacent to the parking spaces and also accessed off the rear alley. There will also
include long- term bicycle parking within the building and short-term bicycle parking
outside in public space adjacent to the property.
T
he project will contain residential amenity space, including a fitness center and
community room, as well as space for administration and supportive services for
residents. The project will include a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom
apartments and will be consistent with market demand for senior housing services. These
units will be specifically designed to serve the lower income, senior population, including
a higher percentage of accessible units than typically required. Additionally, all units will
include significant resident amenities like in-unit washers and dryers, individual unit
temperature control, and modern finishes.
T
he height and mass of the building, while greater than the surrounding buildings, is
sensitive to the surrounding neighborhood context and is architecturally designed to fit
into the sloping topography of the site, minimizing the mass at the site’s northwest corner
adjacent to private development. The building is well designed on all sides and provides a
highly articulated building that is visually engaging from all perspectives. The building’s
L-shape allows ample light and air for each of the units. The building exhibits a cohesive
materials palette that is consistent with the aesthetic of the surrounding neighborhood, yet
4
the design utilizes distinct materials as well as windows on the northern façade to prevent
a uniform mass and create visual interest.
T
he building is largely composed of medium natural tones with framing at the
northeastern corner of the building, pulling the visual focus of the building to the area
adjacent to open space. Additionally, the building changes tones at the top levels to
provide visual stepping at its tallest point, creating a visual continuation of the adjacent
residential materials and allowing the visual form of the building to complement the
adjacent development scale. Specifically, the use of a brick base with metal and
cementitious paneling will provide consistency with the surrounding neighborhood and
create an attractive, articulated façade design.
T
he project will also contain significant environmental and sustainability features and
will be designed to achieve Enterprise Green Communities Plus (“EGC+”) certification,
which is the sustainability model for affordable projects akin to LEED Gold. The EGC+
program’s most recent update in 2020 received significant collaborative support from the
International Living Futures Institute, and projects pursuing the EGC+ level certification
will have achieved certification to the federal Department of Energy’s Zero Energy
Homes (“ZERH”) program. ZERH is a much more progressive energy performance
standard that is essentially the step between Energy Star Multifamily New Construction
and PHIUS (Passive House) certifications. The ZERH program further requires
certification to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Indoor airPLUS program. In
contrast, LEED v4 Homes Midrise certification requires none of the additional
certifications described above, all of which contribute significantly to overall building
performance as well as to the health and wellbeing of the occupants. Additional
sustainable features include approximately 790 square feet of green roof and 2,400 square
feet of solar panels. These solar panels are expected to generate 41,080 KWh (41.08
MWh) of energy. The project will also include significant landscaping, EnergyStar
appliances, and energy efficient lighting features within units.

The project will deliver 92 unit residential rental apartments. The unit mix is described

Local Rent Supplement Program – Agreement to Enter into a Long Term Subsidy Contract between
the District of Columbia Housing Authority and 2229 M Street NE Owner LLC
This memorandum responds to a request that the Office of the General Counsel review the proposed Agreement to
Enter into a Long Term Subsidy Contract (“ALTSC”) between the District of Columbia Housing Authority (“DCHA”) and
222
9 M Street NE Owner LLC (the “Owner”) for legal sufficiency:
Project
:
2229 M Apartments:
Outlier
Realty Capital and Lincoln-Westmoreland Housing Inc. (collectively, the “Applicant”) plan to construct a seven-
story, 92-unit building with surface parking, as an all-affordable residential project for seniors (aged 55+) to be located
at 2229 M Street, NE in Washington, D.C. Currently the site is comprised of two record lots on the south side of M
Street NE, east of 21st Place NE, and north of Maryland Avenue NE. The Property is bounded by the Arboretum
Condominium complex to the west, a federally-owned triangular lot to the east, an alley to the south, and M Street NE
to the north. The Property consists of approximately 15,068 square feet of land area and is currently improved with a
three and a half story building that was formerly used as a child development center and a two-story building that
formerly included residential units. Both buildings are currently vacant.
The Appl
icant intends to demolish the existing vacant structures and construct a new 92 unit affordable housing
community that will provide significant public benefits and amenities, namely that the Project will be entirely
affordable and provide approximately new residential units for seniors. The Project will also include streetscape
improvements along its M Street frontage that exceed DDOT’s standard requirements.
The project will contain residential amenity space, including a fitness center and community room, as well as space for
administration and supportive services for residents. The project will include a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-
bedroom apartments and will be consistent with market demand for senior housing services. These units will be
specifically designed to serve the lower income, senior population, including a higher percentage of accessible units
than typically required. Additionally, all units will include significant resident amenities like in-unit washers and dryers,
individual unit temperature control, and modern finishes.
The overall unit mix includes three (3) studio units, sixty-six (66) one bedroom units, and twenty-three (23) two
bedroom units. Fifty-eight (58) units will be restricted at 50% AMI, eleven (11) units will be restricted at 80% AMI, and
twenty-six (26) units will be reserved for residents earning no more than 30% AMI.
DCHA proposes to provide a housing subsidy for twenty-four (24) units in the initial annual amount of up to $615,228
for a multi-year term of twenty (20) years in support of the District’s Local Rent Supplement Program (“LRSP”) to
provide affordable housing units.
1 Description of the Contract
The Contract is an ALTSC to provide operating subsidy for rental assistance to be provided by DCHA on affordable housing
units owned and operated by the Owner pursuant to the Local Rent Supplement Program established under Title II of
the Fiscal Year 2007 Budget Support Act of 2006.
2 Procurement Process
After meeting the requirements for DHCD review and LRSP subsidy eligibility, proposals were evaluated on various
underwriting and prioritization criteria including financial feasibility, project sustainability, development team capacity,
amount of capital requested, nonprofit participation, and furtherance of the development of affordable housing.
Additionally, DCHA has determined that the proposed project meets the District of Columbia’s Consolidated Plan and
the Mayor’s goal for providing affordable housing opportunities in neighborhoods.
3) Legal Review
Prior to March 20, 2026, the Office of the General Counsel reviewed the Contract for legal sufficiency. The review
indicates a competitive process was followed in making the a ward to the Owner. Additionally, it was determined that
the proposed contractor is not currently debarred from providing services or goods to the District or federal
government. The review of the Contract indicates that it is legally sufficient.
As the Contract is for a term of twenty (20) years and the Contract will be funded with District of Columbia funds,
the Contract must be submitted to the District of Columbia Council for review and approval in accordance with D.C.
Code Section 2-352.02.

1.15. Lobbying Certifications.
Th
e Owner hereby assures and certifies that:
A. No l
ocally appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid, by or on behalf of the
Owner, to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of
DCHA or of any District agency, any public official, including the Mayor and his or her
Executive Staff or members of the Council of the District of Columbia in connection with
the awarding of any contract, grant or loan by the District or DCHA as the case may be,
the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension, continuation, renewal,
amendment, or modification of any District or DCHA contract, grant, loan, or
cooperative agreement.
B. If
any funds other than the District appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to
any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any
DCHA or District agency, any public official, including the Mayor and his or her
Executive Staff or members of the Council of the District of Columbia in connection with
this District contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement, the Owner shall complete
and submit standard form LLL, “Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying,” in accordance
with its instructions.
C. Th
e Owner shall require that the language of this certification be included in the award
documents for all sub-awards at all tiers (including subcontracts, sub-grants, and
contracts under grants, loans, and cooperative agreements) and that all sub-recipients
shall certify and disclose accordingly.
Th
is certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed
when this transaction was made or entered into. Submission of this certification is a
prerequisite for making or entering into this transaction imposed by section 1352, title 31,
U.S. Code (31 U.S.C. § 1352). Any person who fails to file the required certification shall
be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and of not more than $100,000 for
each such failure.
1.16. District Funding Availability.
A. Ow
ner hereby acknowledges and agrees that DCHA’s obligations under this ALTSC are
subject to the availability of sufficient appropriations from the District of Columbia.
If
there is a reduction in appropriations to the LRSP that will result in a reduction of
Rental Subsidy to the Owner, DCHA will provide written notice of such reduction to the
{0035002 -}
Agreement to Enter Into Long Term Subsidy Contract (ALTSC)
District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA)
Local Rent Supplement Program (LRSP)
Page 13 of 70
[2229 M] (2229 M Street NE)
Own er. In the event funding for the Rental Subsidy under this LTSC is reduced more
than ten percent (10%), the Owner may request in writing
that DCHA remove existing vacant Contract Unit(s) in a number not greater than the ratio
of the loss in total Rental Subsidy compared to the prior year.
U
pon such written request, DCHA hereby agrees to amend the LTSC to remove the
number of vacant Contract Unit(s), which number shall not be greater than the ratio of the
loss in total Rental Subsidy compared to the prior year.
I
f there are no vacant Contract Unit(s) when Owner receives notice from DCHA of
decrease in Rental Subsidy, the Owner may request in writing that DCHA reallocate
Rental Subsidy such that the decreased amount of Rental Subsidy be allocated among the
number of units under the LTSC until such time that a vacancy occurs and is reported to
DCHA in writing. At such point, DCHA will amend the LTSC to remove the number of
vacant Contract Unit(s), which number shall: (i) not be greater than the ratio of the loss
in total Rental Subsidy compared to the prior year and (ii) not exceed the actual number
of vacant units.
F
or example, a LTSC has ten (10) Contract Units eligible for a maximum of One
Thousand Dollars ($1,000) in Rental Subsidy per month, for an annual allocation of One
Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000) in Rental Subsidy, assuming there is $0
Tenant Rent in that year. In the event that the annual allocation of maximum eligible
Rental Subsidy is reduced to One Hundred Eight Thousand Dollars ($108,000), the
reduction in maximum annual Rental Subsidy is ten percent (10%), and the Owner would
be eligible to request one Contract Unit be removed from the LTSC.
O
wner shall (1) attempt to mitigate any disruption to the residential tenants and include a
tenant relocation plan in accordance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real
Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and any other applicable laws and regulations
of the District of Columbia; and (2) reasonably pursue resources available to Owner for
alternate funding, prior to requesting a reduction in the number of Owner’s Contract
Units under the LTSC.
B. Owner and DCHA acknowledge and agree that nothing contained in this ALTSC
creates a financial obligation in anticipation of an appropriation and all provisions
of this ALTSC, or any subsequent agreement entered into by the Parties pursuant
to this ALTSC are, and shall remain, subject to the (i) the Federal Anti-Deficiency
Act, 31 U.S.C § 1341, 1342, 1349, 1351; (ii) the District of Columbia Anti-
Deficiency Act, D.C. Official Code §§ 47-355.01- 355.08; (iii) D.C. Code § 47-
105; and (iv) D.C. Official Code§ 1- 204.46, as the foregoing statutes may be
amended from time to time, regardless of whether a particular obligation has been
expressly so conditioned.
N
othing contained in this ALTSC shall be construed to obligated DCHA to any
expenditure or obligation of funds in excess , or in advance , of the lawful

contract with the same prime contractor, or any other Federally-assisted contract subject
to Davis-Beacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime
contractor so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary
to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees and helpers, employed by
the contractor or any subcontractor the fun amount of wages required by the contract. In
the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee or
helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the United States Housing

B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a “Statement of
Compliance,” signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or agent who
pa
ys or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract
and shall certify the following:
(
1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the informati on
r

iii) The Contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph
(a)(3(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by
au
thorized representatives of DCHA, or its designee, and shall permit such
r
epresentatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the

sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the
suspicion of any further payment, advance or guarantee of funds. Furthermore,
failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records
available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
(4) Apprentice and Trainees.
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed
pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program
registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training
Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in
his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an
apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but
who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State
Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary
employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen
on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio
permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered
program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not
registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate of the wage determination for the classification of work
actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project
in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage
rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman’s hourly rate) specified in the
contractor’s or subcontractor’s registered program shall be observed. Every
Apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered
program for the apprentice’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the
journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination.
Apprentices shall be paid hinge benefits in accordance with provisions of the
apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe
benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the
wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator
determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice
classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the
event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State Apprenticeship
Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship
program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less
than the Applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an
acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to
work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are
employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has
received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of
trainees to journeymen on the job shall not be greater than permitted under the
{0035002 -}
Agreement to Enter Into Long Term Subsidy Contract (ALTSC)
District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA)
Local Rent Supplement Program (LRSP)
Page 28 of 70
[2229 M] (2229 M Street NE)
plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee
must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the
trainee’s level of progress, expressed as percentage of the journeyman hourly rate
specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe
benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee
program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount
of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of
the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program
associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage
determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices.
Any Employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate that is not registered and
participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training
Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually performed. In the event the
Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a program. The
contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the
applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable
program is approved.
(
iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and
j
ourneymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment
opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended and 29 CFR,
P
art 30.

prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower
tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in this section 2.4(a).
(7) Contract terminations debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be
grounds for termination of the contract and for debarment as a contractor and a
subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.

D
epartment of Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6 and 7. Disputes within the meaning

DESCRIPTION OF WORK
2229M Scope of Work Narrative
OVERALL SITE CONDITIONS & SCOPE OF WORK
T
he Property is comprised of two record lots on the south side of M Street NE, east of 21st Place
NE, and north of Maryland Avenue NE. The Property is bounded by the Arboretum
Condominium complex to the west, a federally-owned triangular lot to the east, an alley to the
south, and M Street NE to the north. The Property slopes down approximately 10 feet from north
to south and approximately seven feet down from west to east as it is located at the bottom of a
hill on M Street NE. The highest point of the Property is at its northwest corner adjacent to the
Arboretum Condominium building. The Property consists of approximately 15,068 square feet of
land area and is currently improved with a three and a half story building that was formerly used
as a child development center and a two-story building that formerly included residential units.
Both buildings are currently vacant.
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS & BUILDING-SPECIFIC SCOPES
The Applicant will construct a seven-story, 92-unit building with surface parking, as an all-
affordable residential project for seniors (aged 55+). The Project includes unique architectural
elements while simultaneously integrating into the surrounding neighborhood. Each of the
Project’s facades feature distinct material articulations. The Project will provide significant
public benefits and amenities, namely that the Project will be entirely affordable and provide
approximately 92 new residential units for seniors. The Project’s affordability is provided with
90% of the units affordable at up to 50% of median family income (“MFI”) and the remaining
10% of the units affordable at up to 80% of MFI. The Project will provide special value to the
neighborhood by installing four security cameras, one at each of the building’s corners. The
Project will also include streetscape improvements along its M Street frontage that exceed
DDOT’s standard requirements.
T
he immediate neighborhood around the site is generally comprised of low- to mid- rise
apartment buildings in the RA-2 Zone District to the west and south as well as significant open
spaces immediately adjacent. In addition to the unimproved property to its east, the National
Arboretum is located immediately to the north of the site, across M Street NE, and Langston
Golf Course is located to the southeast. The Trinidad Recreation Center and Rosedale Recreation
Center are also located in close proximity to the site. The site is approximately ½ mile from an
ALDI grocery store and one mile from the stores and restaurants on the H Street Corridor. The

site is served by the X8 bus line, which provides access to Union Station, and is located
approximately ¾ mile from both the 19th and Benning and Oklahoma and Benning stops on the
DC Streetcar line. It is also located west of the Anacostia Freeway (I-295), which provides
access to the remainder of Washington DC, Maryland, and the Capital Beltway.
T
he project will be a 92-unit, all-affordable senior residential building. The project will
result in a high-quality, thoughtfully designed building that is integrated into the natural sloping
topography of the site. The resulting development will complement the existing scale and
improvements already in the neighborhood while utilizing height to create a sense of place amid
the open spaces characterizing much of its surroundings. The building will front M Street NE,
which serves as its main entrance area and will consist of eight above-grade floors and one
partially below-grade floor. There will be 10 surface parking spaces, including two car sharing
spaces, located behind the building and accessed via an alley along the south edge of the site. A
loading berth will be located at the rear of the building and accessed off the alley, and the
service/delivery space will be located adjacent to the parking spaces and also accessed off the
rear alley. There will also include long- term bicycle parking within the building and short-term
bicycle parking outside in public space adjacent to the property.
T
he project will contain residential amenity space, including a fitness center and
community room, as well as space for administration and supportive services for residents. The
project will include a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments and will be
consistent with market demand for senior housing services. These units will be specifically
designed to serve the lower income, senior population, including a higher percentage of
accessible units than typically required. Additionally, all units will include significant resident
amenities like in-unit washers and dryers, individual unit temperature control, and modern
finishes.
T
he height and mass of the building, while greater than the surrounding buildings, is
sensitive to the surrounding neighborhood context and is architecturally designed to fit into the
sloping topography of the site, minimizing the mass at the site’s northwest corner adjacent to
private development. The building is well designed on all sides and provides a highly articulated
building that is visually engaging from all perspectives. The building’s L-shape allows ample
light and air for each of the units. The building exhibits a cohesive materials palette that is
consistent with the aesthetic of the surrounding neighborhood, yet the design utilizes distinct
materials as well as windows on the northern façade to prevent a uniform mass and create visual
interest.
T
he building is largely composed of medium natural tones with framing at the
northeastern corner of the building, pulling the visual focus of the building to the area adjacent to
open space. Additionally, the building changes tones at the top levels to provide visual stepping
at its tallest point, creating a visual continuation of the adjacent residential materials and
allowing the visual form of the building to complement the adjacent development scale.
Specifically, the use of a brick base with metal and cementitious paneling will provide

[2229 M] (2229 M Street NE)
consistency with the surrounding neighborhood and create an attractive, articulated façade
design.
T
he project will also contain significant environmental and sustainability features and
will be designed to achieve Enterprise Green Communities Plus (“EGC+”) certification, which
is the sustainability model for affordable projects akin to LEED Gold. The EGC+ program’s
most recent update in 2020 received significant collaborative support from the International
Living Futures Institute, and projects pursuing the EGC+ level certification will have achieved
certification to the federal Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Homes (“ZERH”) program.
ZERH is a much more progressive energy performance standard that is essentially the step
between Energy Star Multifamily New Construction and PHIUS (Passive House) certifications.
The ZERH program further requires certification to the Environmental Protection Agency’s
Indoor airPLUS program. In contrast, LEED v4 Homes Midrise certification requires none of the
additional certifications described above, all of which contribute significantly to overall building
performance as well as to the health and wellbeing of the occupants. Additional sustainable
features include approximately 790 square feet of green roof and 2,400 square feet of solar
panels. These solar panels are expected to generate 41,080 KWh (41.08 MWh) of energy. The
project will also include significant landscaping, EnergyStar appliances, and energy efficient
lighting features within units.
UNIT MIX
The project will deliver 92 unit residential rental apartments. The unit mix is described
in the tables below.

more than ten percent (10%), the Owner may request in writing that DCHA
remove existing vacant Contract Unit(s) in a number not greater than the
ratio of the loss in total Rental Subsidy compared to the prior year.

If there are no vacant Contract Unit(s) when Owner receives notice from
DCHA of decrease in Rental Subsidy, the Owner may request in writing
that DCHA reallocate Rental Subsidy such that the decreased amount of
Rental Subsidy be allocated among the number of units under the LTSC
until such time that a vacancy occurs and is reported to DCHA in writing.
At such point, DCHA will amend the LTSC to remove the number of vacant
Contract Unit(s), which number shall: (i) not be greater than the ratio of the
loss in total Rental Subsidy compared to the prior year and (ii) not exceed
the actual number of vacant units.

or example, a LTSC has ten (10) Contract Units eligible for a maximum
of $1,000 Rental Subsidy per month, for an annual allocation of $120,000
in Rental Subsidy, assuming there is $0 Tenant Rent in that year. In the
event that the annual allocation of maximum eligible Rental Subsidy is
reduced to $108,000, the reduction in maximum annual Rental Subsidy is
ten percent (10%), and the Owner would be eligible to request one Contract
Unit be removed from the LTSC.
C. O
wner shall (1) attempt to mitigate any disruption to the residential tenants
and include a tenant relocation pl an in accordance with the Uniform
Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970

** Workers in this classification may be entitled to a
higher
minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($17.75) or 13658
($13.30). 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 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
Davis-Bacon 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 a victim of, domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional
information
on contractor requirements and worker protections under the
EO
is available at
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included
within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract
clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----
The body of each wage determination lists the
classifications
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for
the
type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the
wage
determination. The classifications are listed in
alphabetical
order under rate identifiers indicating whether the
particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a
survey
rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate,
or a
supplemental classification rate.
Union Rate Identifiers
A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other
than
""SU"", ""UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC? denotes that a union rate
was
prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union
whose collectively bargained rate prevailed in the survey
for
this classification, which in this example would be
Plumbers.
0198 indicates the local union number or district council
number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The
next
number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in
processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2024 in
the
example, is the effective date of the most current
negotiated
rate.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all
changes
over time that are reported to WHD in the rates
in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the
classification.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed
for
those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported
for
the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:
UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a
weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of
Ohio.
The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number
used in producing the wage determination. The date,
01/01/2024
in the example, indicates the date the wage determination
was
updated to reflect the most current union average rate.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in
January, to
reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the
collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is
based.
Survey Rate Identifiers
The ""SU"" identifier indicates that either a single non-
union
rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this
classification in the survey or that the rate was derived
by
computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates
reported in the survey for that classification. As a
weighted
average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it
may
include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-
007
6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union
prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for
that
classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is
the
year of the survey on which these classifications and rates
are
based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal
number used in producing the wage determination. The date,
6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion
date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new
survey
is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has
the
discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).
State Adopted Rate Identifiers
The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications
and
prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government
were
adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007
01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted.
ME
refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which
the
state completed the survey on which the listed
classifications
and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example,
is an
internal number used in producing the wage determination.
The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on
which
the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier
took
effect under state law in the state from which the rates
were
adopted.
-----------------------------------------------------------
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This
can
be:
a) a survey underlying a wage determination
b) an existing published wage determination
c) an initial WHD letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
d) an initial conformance (additional classification
and rate) determination
On survey related matters, initial contact, including
requests
for summaries of surveys, should be directed to the WHD
Branch
of Wage Surveys. Requests can be submitted via email to
davisbaconinfo@dol.gov or by mail to:
Branch of Wage Surveys
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
Regarding any other wage determination matter such as
conformance decisions, requests for initial decisions
should be
directed to the WHD Branch of Construction Wage
Determinations.
Requests can be submitted via email to BCWD-Office@dol.gov
or
by mail to:
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
2) If an initial decision has been issued, then any
interested
party (those affected by the action) that disagrees with
the
decision can request review and reconsideration from the
Wage
and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part
7).
Requests for review and reconsideration can be submitted
via
email to dba.reconsideration@dol.gov or by mail to:
Wage and Hour Administrator
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
The request should be accompanied by a full statement of
the
interested party's position and any information (wage
payment
data, project description, area practice material, etc.)
that
the requestor considers relevant to the issue.
3) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable,
an
interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative
Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:
Administrative Review Board
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210.
