RE:                  Request to Place a Measure on the Agenda for the January 6, 2026 Legislative Meeting

 

 

            This memorandum is to request that the following measures be placed on the agenda for the January 6, 2026 Legislative Meeting:

 

§  Proposed Multiyear Contract No. GF-2025-C-0020 with TPM Group LLC Approval Resolution of 2025

 

This contract is between Tyson Project Management Group, LLC (TPM) and The University of District of Columbia (UDC). The contract has a FY2026 base period cost of $2,912,833.55 and four option years for a total cost not to exceed $15,447,657.41. Under the proposed contract, TPM will be responsible for providing janitorial and related services across approximately 1.2 million square feet of university property. The contract is performance-based, with explicit standards that allow UDC to ensure the provision of quality services. While this contract should not require active Council approval because it only exceeds $1M, it was inadvertently filed as a multiyear contract by the University. Thus, I intend to approve the resolution affirmatively after amending it to reflect that it is not, in fact, a multiyear contract.
