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the modification includes an increase in the living wage rate to $18.00 per hour effective July 1, 2025, and updates outdated references to the Living Wage Act Notice and Fact Sheet from 2006 to the 2025 versions.

The Living Wage Act of 2006 mandates that recipients of new contracts or government assistance in the District of Columbia must pay a minimum living wage to their employees and subcontractors. The bill sets the living wage at $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, increasing to $18.00 per hour on July 1, 2025, and applies to contracts valued at $100,000 or more. It defines key terms and outlines exemptions, while also establishing compliance and reporting mechanisms for employees who believe they are not receiving the mandated wage. The Department of Employment Services (DOES) Office of Wage-Hour and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement will share monitoring responsibilities, and the legislation includes provisions for home care workers regarding overtime protections and recordkeeping standards.
