The bill proposes a modification to Contract No. DCAM-21-CS-RFP-0008G with The Impact Group, LLC, allowing the extension of the contract's performance period for construction management services until March 24, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $3,000,000. This modification is certified as legally sufficient and aligns with the appropriated budget authority, ensuring that funds are available for the expenditure. The contractor is confirmed to be compliant with District taxes, and the modification is subject to Council approval. Importantly, all existing terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged, providing stability in contractual obligations.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing a new living wage rate of $17.05 per hour effective January 1, 2024, which will increase to $17.50 per hour starting July 1, 2024. This requirement applies to contracts valued at $100,000 or more and mandates that recipients and subcontractors maintain payroll records and inform employees of their rights under the Act. The bill also outlines exemptions and compliance measures, including the enforcement of these provisions by the Department of Employment Services. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance worker protections and ensure fair compensation for those engaged in government-related work while also addressing the responsibilities of contractors in construction management services.
