The proposed Modification No. M0004 to Contract No. CW100972 with Mark43, Inc. aims to exercise the third option year for the provision of proprietary Software as a Service (SaaS) Record Management Software (RMS) licenses, maintenance, and support for the Metropolitan Police Department. This modification, totaling $1,380,159.36, will extend the contract's performance period from August 3, 2025, through August 2, 2026, bringing the cumulative contract amount to $4,941,442.08. Additionally, the modification includes an increase in the living wage rate to $18.00 per hour effective July 1, 2025, and updates outdated references to the Living Wage Act Notice and Fact Sheet from 2006 to the 2025 versions, while all other contract terms remain unchanged.

The bill also outlines the requirements of the Living Wage Act of 2006, which mandates that recipients of new contracts or government assistance in the District of Columbia pay a minimum living wage to their employees and subcontractors. The living wage will be set at $17.50 per hour starting January 1, 2025, and will increase to $18.00 per hour on July 1, 2025. The bill defines key terms related to contracts and government assistance, specifies exemptions, and emphasizes compliance enforcement by the Department of Employment Services (DOES) and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement. It also includes provisions for recordkeeping, notice requirements, and mechanisms for reporting non-compliance, ensuring that employees are informed of their rights under the law.
