The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002AH with One Kare Enterprise, LLC, by exercising the second option year of the contract, which will extend from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. The modification allows for a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000, with a guaranteed minimum of $50, as part of the Department of General Services' initiative to provide general maintenance and repair services for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities. The contract is structured as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) agreement, providing flexibility in service ordering, and the contractor is confirmed to be compliant with District taxes and labor regulations.
Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing new minimum wage rates for contractors and recipients of government assistance in the District of Columbia. Effective January 1, 2025, the living wage will be set at $17.50 per hour, increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025. This requirement applies to contracts valued at $100,000 or more and includes specific exemptions for certain contracts and employee categories. The bill also mandates compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and outlines the responsibilities of contractors regarding wage notifications and record-keeping.
