The proposed bill seeks to amend the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing a new living wage rate for District of Columbia government contractors and recipients of government assistance. Effective January 1, 2025, the living wage will be set at $17.50 per hour, increasing to $18.00 per hour starting July 1, 2025. This requirement applies to contracts valued at $100,000 or more and to subcontractors receiving $15,000 or more from these contracts, as well as to recipients of government assistance of $100,000 or more and their subcontractors receiving $50,000 or more. The bill also clarifies the definition of "affiliated employee" and outlines exemptions for certain contracts, including those subject to higher federal wage determinations and existing collective bargaining agreements.

Additionally, the bill outlines a contract for the procurement of Pelican Model 435 Street Sweepers from Maryland Industrial Trucks, Inc., structured as an Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement. The District can order between four to eight units at a unit price of $330,219.65 for the base year, totaling a minimum of $1,320,878.60 and a maximum of $2,641,757.20. The contract includes provisions for extending the term for up to four additional one-year periods, contingent upon funding availability. It also specifies the roles and responsibilities of the Contracting Officer and Contract Administrator, ensuring compliance and proper invoice processing throughout the contract duration.
