The proposed bill seeks to extend Contract No. DCAM-20-NC-RFP-0013-A8 with RBK Construction, Inc. for On-Call Facility Maintenance and Repair Services, specifically for HVAC systems, for an additional year from June 26, 2025, to June 25, 2026. The modification allows for a not-to-exceed amount of $14,000,000 and includes essential services such as HVAC repairs, general maintenance, and emergency response. The contractor is required to comply with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, with the current living wage rate set to increase from $17.50 to $17.95 per hour in mid-2025. The bill also includes a release clause for the contractor regarding claims related to delays or additional costs.
Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006 to clarify the definition of "affiliated employee" and outlines exemptions for certain contracts and agreements. It introduces new legal language to streamline administrative procedures and updates outdated provisions, while also deleting redundant legal language to enhance clarity. These changes aim to modernize the legal framework governing administrative processes, ensuring compliance with current standards and improving government operations.
