The proposed Modification No. M04 to Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002H with WKM Solutions, LLC seeks to exercise Option Year Four (OY4) of the contract, extending the agreement from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This modification increases the not-to-exceed (NTE) amount to $10,000,000, with a guaranteed minimum of $50, allowing WKM Solutions to continue providing essential 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, which offers flexibility in service ordering. The modification has been certified as legally sufficient and complies with the agency's budget authority for the fiscal year.

Additionally, the bill outlines wage requirements under the Living Wage Act of 2006, mandating that contractors and government assistance recipients pay a minimum wage that meets or exceeds the 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. Exemptions to this requirement are specified, including contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and certain emergency services. The bill also introduces provisions for trainees, ensuring they do not replace existing employees covered by the Living Wage Act, and outlines enforcement responsibilities between the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement.
