The proposed Modification No. M04 to Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002H with WKM Solutions, LLC seeks to exercise the fourth option year of the contract, which will run from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. This modification allows for a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000, with a guaranteed minimum of $50, and is part of the Department of General Services' initiative to provide maintenance and repair services aimed at reducing work order backlogs for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities. The modification reflects an increase in the contract's value due to revised service requirements and ensures compliance with District tax obligations and legal requirements.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific wage determinations under the Living Wage Act of 2006, mandating that contractors pay a minimum wage that meets or exceeds the current living wage rate, which will be set at $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and increase to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025. The bill includes exemptions for certain contracts and establishes provisions for trainees, ensuring they do not replace existing employees covered by the Living Wage Act. It also emphasizes the enforcement responsibilities of the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement in monitoring compliance, while encouraging individuals to report any suspected non-compliance.
