Additionally, the bill outlines specific wage determinations for various occupations under the Service Contract Act, detailing hourly rates for job titles across multiple sectors. It includes provisions for employee benefits, compliance with federal regulations, and mandates that at least 51% of apprentices and trainees under certain contracts must be District residents. The bill emphasizes the importance of subcontracting to small business enterprises and includes penalties for non-compliance with subcontracting plans. Overall, the modifications aim to enhance accountability, ensure fair compensation standards, and streamline procedures within the construction management services framework.
