The proposed bill includes a modification to Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002O with Cap Innovative Design, LLC, allowing for the exercise of Option Year Four, which will be effective from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. The modification sets a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000 for various maintenance and repair services, including emergency response and preventative maintenance, reflecting the District's updated assessment of service needs. The contractor must comply with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, ensuring adherence to current wage requirements. The contractor also agrees to release the Department from any claims related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing new living wage rates for contractors and recipients of government assistance in the District of Columbia. Starting January 1, 2025, the living wage will be set at $17.50 per hour, increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025. The bill clarifies the definition of "contract" and "government assistance," specifying that subcontractors receiving certain amounts must also comply with the wage requirements. Exemptions are included for contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations, collective bargaining agreements, and specific employee categories. The Department of Employment Services will monitor compliance, allowing individuals to report violations or file complaints regarding wage payments.
