The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-20-NC-RFP-0001E with GNT Group, LLC, to fully exercise Option Year Five (OY5) for city-wide landscaping maintenance and supplemental services in Wards 1, 2, and Maryland. The modification is set at a not-to-exceed amount of $1,440,420.43, covering the period from June 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026. It includes a breakdown of costs, with $1,040,420.43 allocated for basic services and $400,000 for non-guaranteed supplemental services. The bill also incorporates a Rider Clause as Section G.12 and replaces the contract recap for Modification No. M07, while ensuring that all other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged.

Additionally, the bill outlines the financial implications of the contract modifications, specifying a total contract value of $5,642,953 across multiple option years. It mandates compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, which will see the living wage increase to $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025. The bill also details the responsibilities of the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement in monitoring compliance with the Living Wage Act, particularly for home care workers, and provides guidance for reporting violations of the living wage law.
