The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002AN with MBB Affiliates, LLC by exercising the second option year, extending the contract period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The modification allows for a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000 for general maintenance and repair services, including emergency response and preventative maintenance, aimed at reducing work order backlogs for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities. The bill also ensures compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act, requiring the Contractor to adhere to any updates made by the District throughout the option period.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006 to establish new living wage rates, setting the rate at $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and increasing it to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025. This requirement applies to contractors and subcontractors receiving contracts valued at $100,000 or more, as well as recipients of government assistance of $100,000 or more. The bill outlines exemptions from the living wage requirement, such as contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and collective bargaining agreements, while mandating compliance monitoring by the Department of Employment Services (DOES).
