The proposed Modification No. M02 to Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002AN with MBB Affiliates, LLC seeks to extend the contract's performance period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000 allocated for general maintenance and repair services. This modification ensures compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act, while also including a guaranteed minimum of $50 for the option year. The contractor must adhere to updates made by the District of Columbia Government regarding the Living Wage Act throughout the option period, and a release clause is included to waive claims related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification.

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. This requirement applies to contractors and subcontractors receiving significant government contracts or assistance. The bill also specifies exemptions from the living wage requirement, such as contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and collective bargaining agreements. Furthermore, it mandates that recipients and subcontractors provide notice of wage requirements to employees and maintain payroll records for compliance monitoring by the Department of Employment Services.
