The bill proposes a modification to Contract No. GAGA-2024-T-0202 with CDW Government, LLC, allowing the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) to exercise option year one for Microsoft software licenses at a cost of $1,348,135.86, effective from November 1, 2025, to October 31, 2026. This modification is part of a cooperative purchasing agreement and will provide DCPS with 11,800 Microsoft software licenses and associated services. The total contract value has been adjusted from $1,371,890.65 to $1,339,381.16, reflecting a decrease of $32,509.49, while all other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged. The bill also outlines the responsibilities of the Contracting Officer and Contract Administrator in overseeing the contract's execution and emphasizes compliance with the contract's requirements.

Additionally, the bill modifies the Living Wage Act of 2006, updating the living wage rates for employees under contracts or government assistance in the District of Columbia. Starting January 1, 2025, the living wage will be set at $17.50 per hour until June 30, 2025, after which it will increase to $18.00 per hour. The bill clarifies the applicability of the living wage requirement to contractors and subcontractors receiving significant funds from the District, while also outlining exemptions for certain contracts and employee categories. Furthermore, it establishes insurance requirements for contractors, mandating various types of coverage to protect both the contractor and the Government of the District of Columbia during the contract's execution.
