The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. GAGA-2023-C-0312 with Vision Security Solutions, LLC, to exercise option year two for security services provided to the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). This modification includes an additional funding amount of $2,039,788.85, extending the contract period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The bill also updates the Living Wage Act provisions, establishing a living wage rate of $17.50 per hour from January 1, 2025, until June 30, 2025, and increasing it to $18.00 per hour starting July 1, 2025. The contract modification is confirmed to be within the appropriated budget authority and aligns with the financial plan adopted under relevant D.C. Official Codes.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for the management and maintenance of the DCPS video surveillance system, which includes approximately 9,000 cameras and 154 servers. It mandates the use of tamper-resistant cameras at specific locations and emphasizes the contractor's responsibilities for regular maintenance and compliance with service level agreements. The bill also introduces provisions to promote employment opportunities for District residents, requiring that at least 51% of new hires under contracts of $300,000 or more be District residents. It deletes previous hiring requirements and replaces them with updated language to enhance clarity and enforceability, while also ensuring compliance with various employment laws.
