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, to September 30, 2026, with a maximum value of $10 million. This modification allows the contractor to continue providing essential maintenance and repair services for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities, focusing on reducing work order backlogs and addressing both emergency and routine maintenance needs. The contract is structured as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) agreement, ensuring flexibility in service ordering, and includes a guaranteed minimum order of $50. The contractor has confirmed compliance with District tax obligations and ethical standards.
Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing 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. Subcontractors receiving $15,000 or more from these contracts are also required to comply. The bill outlines specific exemptions from the living wage requirement, such as contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and collective bargaining agreements. It mandates that recipients and subcontractors notify employees of wage requirements and maintain payroll records for compliance monitoring by the Department of Employment Services.
