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, through September 30, 2026. The modification allows for a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000, with a guaranteed minimum of $50, and encompasses various maintenance and repair services to support the Department of General Services. The bill also incorporates updated U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination requirements and mandates compliance with the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, ensuring that the contractor adheres to the latest wage standards throughout the option period.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006 to establish new living wage rates, effective January 1, 2025, at $17.50 per hour, increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025, for contractors and recipients of government assistance valued at $100,000 or more. Exemptions to this requirement are included for certain contracts and employee categories. The bill also outlines the responsibilities of contractors and subcontractors regarding wage compliance, record-keeping, and employee notification, while the Department of Employment Services will oversee compliance and address any violations.
