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, extending the contract period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. This modification allows for a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000 to provide general maintenance and repair services, including emergency response and preventative maintenance, to support the Department of General Services in addressing work order backlogs and critical repair needs for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities. The contract maintains a minimum order value of $50 and a maximum non-guaranteed value of $10,000,000 for this option year, while all other terms of the original contract remain unchanged.
Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing new living wage rates for government contractors and recipients of government assistance in the District of Columbia. 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. The bill clarifies the definition of "affiliated employee" and outlines exemptions for certain contracts and employees, while also mandating compliance with wage determinations. The Department of Employment Services will oversee compliance, allowing individuals to report violations or file complaints regarding wage discrepancies.
