The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002AD with National Service Contractors, Inc. by exercising the second option year of the contract, which will extend from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. The modification allows for a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000, with a guaranteed minimum of $50, and is part of the Department of General Services' initiative to provide maintenance and repair services for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities. The bill also incorporates the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule No. 2015-4282, Revision No. 32, dated December 23, 2024, into the contract, requiring compliance with current wage determination requirements 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, 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, and the bill mandates that recipients and subcontractors notify employees of wage requirements and maintain payroll records. The Department of Employment Services will oversee compliance, allowing individuals to report violations or file complaints.
