The bill proposes modifications to Contract No. DCAM-21-CS-RFP-0008G with The Impact Group, LLC, allowing for the continuation of construction management services for the Department of General Services (DGS) from March 25, 2025, through March 24, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $3,000,000. This modification is legally sufficient and within the appropriated budget, ensuring that The Impact Group is compliant with District tax obligations and ethical regulations. The bill also maintains that all terms and conditions of the existing contract remain unchanged, providing stability in contractual obligations while facilitating ongoing services essential for DGS operations.
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 comply with wage standards while providing notice to employees about their rights. The bill also outlines exemptions for certain contracts and establishes enforcement mechanisms through the Department of Employment Services. Overall, the legislation aims to ensure fair compensation for workers and promote compliance with labor standards in the District of Columbia.
