The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002L with Citadel Firm, LLC by exercising the fourth option year of the contract, which will extend from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. This modification allows for 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 is required to comply with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, with specific wage rates outlined for various occupations. A release clause is included, where the contractor waives claims against the Department for delays or additional costs related to the contract.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing 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 amounts from government contracts and assistance. The bill clarifies definitions related to contracts and government assistance, specifies exemptions for certain contracts and employees, and assigns the Department of Employment Services the responsibility for monitoring compliance with these wage requirements. Overall, the bill aims to ensure fair compensation and compliance with updated wage standards for public service roles in the District.
