The bill proposes a modification to Contract No. DCAM-21-CS-RFP-0008E with Cinnovas Development Group, LLC, allowing the exercise of the remainder of option year three for construction management services. This modification includes a not-to-exceed amount of $3,000,000 and extends the performance period from March 25, 2025, through March 24, 2026. Cinnovas will continue to provide construction management services for various facilities within the Department of General Services (DGS) real estate portfolio. The modification has been certified as legally sufficient and fiscally sound, ensuring compliance with the Department's budget authority and confirming that the contractor is current with its District taxes. All terms and conditions of the referenced contract remain unchanged and in full force.

Additionally, the bill addresses the Living Wage Act of 2006, which mandates that recipients of contracts or government assistance in the District of Columbia pay their affiliated employees a living wage. Effective January 1, 2025, the living wage will be set at $17.50 per hour, increasing to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025. The bill outlines exemptions from this requirement and emphasizes the enforcement responsibilities of the Department of Employment Services. It also includes provisions for contractors regarding compliance with local hiring practices, anti-discrimination measures, and subcontracting requirements, ensuring that at least 50% of contract dollar volume is subcontracted to qualified small business enterprises for larger contracts. Overall, the bill aims to enhance accountability, transparency, and fair compensation within the District's contracting framework.
