The Department of Homeless Services (DHS) is requesting the Negotiated Acquisition Extension (NAE) Contract with RKTB Architects, P.C. from 7.01.22 to 6.30.23. This one-year NAE with the incumbent vendor is needed for provision of architectural and engineering services necessary to obtain Certificates of Occupancy for DHS shelters which currently don’t have these certificates. DHS is under mandate to obtain these Certificates of Occupancy. Currently DHS has not enough employees to perform these professional services. While the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has provided additional staffing resources to support the expansion of the Routine Site Review Inspection (RSRI) and Shelter Repair Squad (SRS) units, the Department has not been able to fully staff these units. The OMB also prioritized hiring actions in other parts of DHS over the new positions supporting these programs, leaving DHS with unfilled vacancies.
