The proposed Modification No. M01 to Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002AP with Covenant Development Company seeks to extend the contract's performance period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000. This modification allows the contractor to continue providing essential maintenance and repair services, including emergency response and preventative maintenance. The contract maintains a guaranteed minimum of $50 and ensures compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act throughout the option period. The modification has been certified by the Office of the General Counsel and is within the appropriated budget authority for the fiscal year.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements under the Living Wage Act of 2006, which mandates a minimum living wage for contract recipients and their subcontractors, set to increase to $17.50 per hour in January 2025 and $17.95 per hour in July 2025. It specifies exemptions for certain contracts and emphasizes the enforcement responsibilities of the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement. The bill also introduces provisions for trainee services, ensuring that trainees do not replace existing employees, and outlines wage determinations for various occupations, including health and welfare compensation and paid sick leave requirements for federal contractors.
