The proposed bill outlines a contract for Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) design-build services aimed at upgrading three Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) facilities in Washington, D.C. to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The contract, awarded to Chiaramonte Construction Company, totals $1,176,250.00, with an initial not-to-exceed amount of $182,288.00. The project is set to commence on May 16, 2023, and is expected to achieve substantial completion by December 31, 2025, with final completion by March 2, 2026. The bill also confirms the contractor's compliance with legal and financial requirements, including tax obligations, and outlines the administrative modifications to the existing contract, including extensions of the contract duration and a release of claims against the Department related to the project.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of economic inclusion by mandating that non-certified business entities subcontract at least 35% of the contract effort to small business enterprises (SBEs) for contracts exceeding $250,000. It also amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing new wage rates for affiliated employees of contractors and recipients of government assistance, effective January 1, 2025. The bill clarifies the definition of "affiliated employee" and outlines specific exemptions from the living wage requirements. Overall, the bill aims to enhance accessibility in public facilities while promoting local business participation and fair compensation for workers engaged in government contracts.
