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 also mandating compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006. The bill clarifies that the contractor must notify affiliated employees of their rights under the Living Wage Act and maintain payroll records for three years.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006 by refining the definition of "affiliated employee" and establishing exemptions from the living wage requirement. It sets the living wage rate at $17.50 per hour from January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025, increasing to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025. The bill also introduces new legal language emphasizing transparency and accountability in resource allocation, while deleting outdated provisions to streamline the legislative framework. Overall, the bill aims to enhance resource management efficiency and foster public trust through improved stakeholder engagement in decision-making processes.
