The proposed Modification No. M02 to Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002W1 with Star Enterprise, Inc. seeks to exercise the second option year of the contract, extending it from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000 and a guaranteed minimum of $50. This modification is part of the Department of General Services' initiative to enhance interior and exterior maintenance and repair services for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities, addressing critical repair needs and reducing work order backlogs. The contract is structured as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement, allowing for flexible service ordering, and the contractor is confirmed to be compliant with District taxes and labor regulations.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing new living wage rates for government contractors and recipients of government assistance. Effective January 1, 2025, the living wage will be set at $17.50 per hour, increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025, applicable to contracts valued at $100,000 or more and certain subcontractors. The bill also outlines exemptions from the living wage requirement, such as contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and collective bargaining agreements. Furthermore, it mandates compliance with wage determination schedules and requires contractors to maintain payroll records and provide notice of wage requirements to employees, ensuring adherence to labor regulations.
