The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002K with Capital Construction Enterprises, Inc. by exercising the fourth option year, which will extend the contract from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. This modification allows for a maximum expenditure of $10,000,000, with a guaranteed minimum of $50. The contractor is responsible for providing various general maintenance and repair services, including emergency response and preventative maintenance, to address critical repair needs for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities. The bill also ensures compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006 to establish new living wage rates, setting the rate at $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and increasing it to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025. This requirement applies to contracts valued at $100,000 or more and government assistance recipients of $100,000 or more, along with their subcontractors. The bill clarifies the definition of "affiliated employees" and outlines exemptions from the Living Wage Act, ensuring fair compensation for workers involved in government contracts and assistance programs. The Department of Employment Services will monitor compliance, and individuals can report violations regarding non-payment of the living wage.
