The proposed Modification No. M02 to Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002AH with One Kare Enterprise, LLC seeks to exercise the second option year of the contract, extending it from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000 and a guaranteed minimum of $50. This modification is part of the Department of General Services' initiative to provide general maintenance and repair services, including emergency response and preventative maintenance, to reduce work order backlogs for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities. The modification also incorporates compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, which are included as Exhibits A and B in the contract.

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, for contractors and recipients of government assistance valued at $100,000 or more. Exemptions to this requirement include contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations, existing collective bargaining agreements, and certain emergency service contracts. The bill also mandates that recipients and subcontractors provide notice of wage requirements to employees and maintain payroll records for three years, with the Department of Employment Services overseeing compliance and reporting of violations.
