The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-20-NC-RFP-0001D with RBK Construction, Inc. for comprehensive city-wide landscaping maintenance and supplemental services, specifically for Wards 7 and 8. The modification allows for the exercise of the fifth option year of the contract, extending the service period from June 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026, with a total not-to-exceed amount of $2,931,852.62. This includes $2,731,852.62 for basic services and a ceiling of $200,000 for supplemental services. The bill also introduces a rider clause and increases the ordering not-to-exceed ceiling for supplemental services to $300,000, while detailing financial allocations for routine maintenance across multiple option years.

Additionally, the bill reflects administrative changes, including a reduction in the subcontracting percentage requirement from 50% to 35%. It incorporates compliance 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 outlines specific locations for landscaping services, ensuring that these areas remain safe and accessible for community use. All other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged.
