The bill proposes modifications to Contract DCAM-19-NC-RFP-0011, which pertains to the professional program management support services for the redevelopment of the St. Elizabeths East Campus. Key changes include extending the contract term to February 10, 2026, and increasing the contract amount by $2,478,446.28 to accommodate ongoing project phases such as planning, design management, and construction management. The modification also includes a release clause where the contractor waives any claims against the Department related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification. All other terms and conditions of the original contract remain unchanged.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions for various engineering and inspection roles within public projects, specifying compensation rates and enhancing transparency in budgeting. It amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, setting the living wage at $16.50 per hour effective January 1, 2023, with subsequent increases, and outlines compliance requirements for contractors regarding hiring practices and subcontracting. The bill aims to ensure fair compensation for workers involved in government contracts while promoting local employment and accountability in contracting processes.
