The bill proposes modifications to existing contracts with Parkinson Construction Company, Inc., allowing for the exercise of option year three for construction services with a not-to-exceed amount of $20,000,000, covering the period from May 2, 2025, to May 1, 2026. The contractor will continue to provide services for various public facilities, including schools and parks, while maintaining a guaranteed minimum value of $50. The modification confirms that the contractor is compliant with District tax obligations and is within the appropriated budget authority. Additionally, the bill establishes a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with Parkinson Construction, allowing them to be pre-qualified for future construction projects related to District of Columbia Public Schools and the Department of Parks and Recreation, with a total not-to-exceed amount of $15,000,000.

The bill also outlines comprehensive guidelines for contractor responsibilities, including subcontracting requirements, payment processes, and compliance with labor laws. It mandates that at least 35% of contracts over $250,000 be subcontracted to qualified small business enterprises, and emphasizes the importance of hiring District residents for projects valued at $300,000 or more. Furthermore, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006 to set a minimum living wage of $15.50 per hour for employees of government contractors and recipients of government assistance, with future adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. The legislation aims to enhance economic inclusion, ensure compliance with labor standards, and establish clear guidelines for contractor responsibilities and project management to facilitate successful project completion.
