The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-20-NC-RFP-0001D with RBK Construction, Inc. to extend the fifth option year for comprehensive city-wide landscaping maintenance and supplemental services in Wards 7 and 8. The modification is set for a not-to-exceed amount of $2,931,852.62, covering the period from June 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026. Key changes include the incorporation of a Rider Clause as Section G.2, an increase in the Ordering Not-To-Exceed (NTE) Ceiling for Supplemental Services to $300,000, and a stipulation that the contractor cannot exceed a NTE amount of $750,441.10 for Fiscal Year 2025 without written authorization. The bill also confirms that the contractor is compliant with District tax obligations and ethical standards.

Additionally, the bill outlines financial allocations for various option years, ensuring that the total contract value for routine services does not exceed $2,731,852.62, with an additional ceiling for supplemental services. It incorporates compliance requirements with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, which mandates a living wage of $17.50 per hour starting January 1, 2025, increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining public spaces and enhancing the aesthetic quality of the city while adhering to budgetary constraints and legal compliance.
