The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002AU with CleanMyPlace Maintenance and Recycling, LLC, by exercising the second option year of the contract, which will extend from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. The modification establishes a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000, with a guaranteed minimum of $50, as part of the Department of General Services' initiative to provide maintenance and repair services for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities. The contractor is required to comply with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, which are incorporated into the contract as Exhibits A and B. The total value of the contract, including the base year and option years, amounts to $15,995,000.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, setting the living wage at $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and increasing it to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025. It clarifies the definition of "affiliated employee" to include individuals compensated through government contracts or assistance, while excluding those performing incidental services. The bill also outlines exemptions for certain contracts and establishes responsibilities for recipients and subcontractors regarding employee rights and payroll record maintenance. Enforcement of these provisions will be managed by the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement, ensuring compliance and promoting fair compensation practices within the workforce.
