The proposed Modification No. M02 to Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002AD with National Service Contractors, Inc. seeks to extend the contract for a second option year from October 1, 2025, through 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 maintenance and repair services, including emergency response and preventative maintenance, to reduce work order backlogs for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities. The modification has been certified by the Office of the General Counsel and aligns with the agency's budget authority for the fiscal year, ensuring compliance with labor wage determinations.

Additionally, the bill incorporates updates to the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, which mandates a living wage of $17.50 per hour starting January 1, 2025, increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025, for contractors and recipients of government assistance valued at $100,000 or more. The bill outlines exemptions to the living wage requirement and emphasizes compliance with the Home Care Final Rule. It also includes a release clause for the contractor, ensuring that the Department is held harmless from claims related to the modification and services provided. Overall, the bill aims to enhance wage standards and promote equity in compensation across various occupations.
