The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002AL with Touch Media Systems, LLC, allowing the exercise of the first option year 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 contract is part of the Department of General Services' initiative to provide essential maintenance and repair services, including emergency response and preventative maintenance, to meet the increasing demands of facility management. The modification has been certified by the Office of the General Counsel and aligns with the fiscal year budget authority, reflecting the Department's expanding service requirements.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing new living wage rates for 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, applicable to contracts valued at $100,000 or more and certain subcontractors. The bill outlines exemptions from this requirement, including contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and collective bargaining agreements, while mandating compliance with wage regulations and record-keeping for contractors and subcontractors.
