The bill proposes a modification to Contract No. DCAM-21-CS-RFP-0008A with AECOM Technical Services, Inc., allowing the exercise of the remainder of option year three for construction management services, with a not-to-exceed amount of $3,000,000. The performance period is extended from April 26, 2025, through April 25, 2026, ensuring AECOM continues to provide essential services for various facilities within the Department of General Services (DGS) real estate portfolio. The modification is legally and fiscally certified, confirming compliance with budget authority and financial plans, while also ensuring AECOM is current with District taxes and ethics regulations.

Additionally, the bill incorporates the Living Wage Act of 2006 into the contract, mandating that contractors pay their employees a living wage, which is set to increase from $16.50 to $17.00 per hour in July 2023. It outlines specific exemptions and compliance requirements, including maintaining payroll records and informing employees of their rights. The bill also emphasizes the importance of hiring local residents and adhering to fair labor practices, with stringent subcontracting requirements for larger contracts. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance worker protections, ensure compliance with wage laws, and maintain accountability in contracting processes within the District.
