The new Fort Lincoln Campus will bring recreation, early childhood education, and community space together under one roof.
The Government of the District of Columbia, acting by and through its Department of General Services (the “Department” or “DGS”), has an immediate and urgent need to procure Victor Stanley outdoor waste receptacles for multiple District agencies. These receptacles must be procured quickly to address:
• Public litter management needs in high‑traffic areas.
• Safety and sanitation concerns related to rodent activity.
• Imminent installation schedules for capital projects, parks, recreation facilities, and public right‑of‑way improvements.
• Uniform streetscape requirements across DPW and DPR locations as defined by agency standards.

With the passage of the Public Facilities Environmental Safety Amendment Act of 2020, DGS has expanded its frequency and scope of testing for environmental risks. This is the twenty-fifth meeting in a series of monthly meetings to discuss actionable environmental safety testing results and remediation activity at District public buildings. This meeting will provide an overview of our testing process and details about activities at specific locations. You can join the meeting by registering and using the link provided. Please share with community members, and we hope to see you there!
