The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-20-NC-RFP-0001C with G-Sida General Services, LLC, to fully exercise Option Year Five (OY5) for comprehensive city-wide landscaping maintenance and supplemental services in Wards 5 and 6. The modification is set at a not-to-exceed amount of $2,072,110.32, covering the period from June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026. This extension allows the contractor to continue providing essential landscaping services, including basic maintenance and on-call supplemental services. The contract modification has been certified by the Department of General Services, confirming compliance with the appropriated budget for fiscal years 2025 and 2026.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions that ensure compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, which mandates that contractors pay their employees a living wage. The modification emphasizes the importance of adhering to these wage requirements and outlines the consequences of exceeding specified funding limits without proper authorization. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the quality of public spaces through systematic landscaping efforts while managing costs effectively and ensuring compliance with local regulations.
