The bill proposes modifications to Contract No. DCAM-21-CS-RFP-0008H with Jacobs Project Management Company, extending the performance period for construction management services from May 24, 2024, to May 23, 2025, with a not-to-exceed value of $3,000,000. It incorporates the US Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule No. 2015-4281 Rev No. 28, effective December 26, 2023, and the Living Wage Act of 2006, which mandates a living wage of $17.05 per hour starting January 1, 2024, increasing to $17.50 per hour on July 1, 2024. The modification also includes a release clause where the contractor waives claims against the Department for delays or additional costs arising from this modification.

Additionally, the bill updates wage determinations for various occupations, introducing new wage rates and deleting outdated rates to ensure competitiveness. It emphasizes compliance with existing labor laws, including the Living Wage Act, and outlines specific exemptions. The bill also mandates that at least 51% of apprentices and trainees under certain contracts must be District residents, and it establishes subcontracting requirements, including penalties for non-compliance. Overall, the modifications aim to enhance the quality of construction management services while ensuring fair compensation and adherence to local hiring requirements.
