The proposed Modification No. M00004 to Human Care Agreement No. CW104674 with Innovative Life Solutions, Inc. seeks to exercise option year two of the agreement, allowing the contractor to continue providing essential residential services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The modification specifies a not-to-exceed amount of $1,614,292.68 for the period from April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026. This agreement is crucial as it covers services not included under Medicaid, ensuring continued support for vulnerable populations.
Additionally, the modification includes an increase in the living wage rate to $17.50 effective January 1, 2025, and subsequently to $18.00 per hour starting July 1, 2025. This adjustment reflects the government's commitment to fair compensation for workers in the human care sector. All other terms and conditions of the original agreement remain unchanged, ensuring the continuity of services while adhering to updated wage standards.
