The bill proposes modifications to Contract No. DCAM-19-NC-RFP-0011 with CUBE-CBRE Partners Joint Venture, aimed at extending the contract for professional program management support services related to the redevelopment of St. Elizabeths East Campus. The modifications include extending the contract term to February 10, 2026, and increasing the total contract amount to a not-to-exceed total of $2,478,446.28. The bill also outlines various administrative changes, such as the reclassification of labor categories and adjustments to hourly rates for specific positions, while ensuring that all other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged. Additionally, the contractor agrees to waive any claims against the Department related to delays or additional costs arising from these modifications.

Furthermore, the bill incorporates new legal language requiring contractors to comply with COVID-19 related orders, including vaccination certification and mask mandates, and prohibits contractors from performing inherently governmental functions. It also updates the Living Wage Act of 2006, setting the living wage at $16.50 per hour effective January 1, 2023, with subsequent increases based on the Consumer Price Index. The bill emphasizes compliance with local hiring requirements and mandates that contractors maintain transparency regarding costs and subcontracting efforts, ultimately aiming to promote fair employment practices and ensure accountability in government contracting.
