The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-20-NC-RFP-0013-A5 with DC General Construction, Inc. by extending the contract's fifth option year for on-call facility maintenance and repair services, specifically for HVAC systems, from June 26, 2025, to June 25, 2026. The modification allows the contractor to continue providing essential services, including HVAC repairs and emergency response, with a not-to-exceed amount of $14,000,000. The contractor must comply with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006 throughout the option period. Additionally, the contractor agrees to waive any claims against the Department related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification.

The bill also amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, clarifying the definition of "affiliated employee" and outlining specific exemptions from the living wage requirement. It establishes a living wage rate of $17.50 per hour from January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025, increasing to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025. Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions for resource management within governmental departments, mandating quarterly reports on resource allocation and usage while deleting outdated provisions that allowed for discretionary allocations without oversight. These changes aim to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in resource management across departments.
