The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002AJ with Carson Coles Cleaning Company, LLC, by exercising the second option year, extending the contract period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. The modification allows for a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000 for various maintenance and repair services, including emergency response and preventative maintenance. It also includes a guaranteed minimum of $50 for the option year. The contractor is required to comply with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, ensuring adherence to current wage requirements throughout the contract's duration.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing new minimum wage rates for contract recipients and 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. This requirement applies to contracts valued at $100,000 or more and includes specific exemptions for certain contracts and employee categories. The bill also mandates that recipients and subcontractors maintain payroll records for three years and provides definitions for key terms related to the living wage requirements. Overall, the legislation aims to ensure fair compensation and compliance with updated wage standards in the District.
