The proposed bill seeks to extend Contract No. DCAM-20-NC-RFP-0013-A6 with DECCA Development Corporation for an additional year, from June 26, 2025, to June 25, 2026, allowing for a not-to-exceed amount of $14,000,000 for On-Call Facility Maintenance and Repair Services, specifically for HVAC systems. This modification ensures that DECCA continues to provide essential services such as HVAC repairs, general maintenance, and emergency response while maintaining the option for the District to terminate the contract if necessary. The bill also mandates compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, with the living wage rate set to increase to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006 by 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, until June 30, 2025, and requires recipients and subcontractors to notify affiliated employees of their rights under the Act. 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management within governmental departments, mandating quarterly reports on resource allocation and usage while deleting outdated provisions that allowed for discretionary allocations without oversight.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.
