The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002AT with G-SIDA General Services, LLC by exercising the third option year of the contract, which will extend from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with a maximum not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000. This modification allows G-SIDA to continue providing essential maintenance and repair services for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities, addressing critical repair needs and reducing work order backlogs. The contract stipulates a minimum order value of $50 and ensures compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006 to establish new living wage rates, setting the rate at $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and increasing it to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025. This requirement applies to contractors and subcontractors receiving significant amounts from government contracts and assistance. The bill clarifies the definition of "affiliated employee" and outlines exemptions for certain contracts and employee categories. It also assigns the Department of Employment Services the responsibility of monitoring compliance with these wage requirements, ensuring fair compensation for workers involved in government contracts and assistance programs.
