The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002Q with Spectrum Management, LLC by exercising the fourth option year, which will extend the contract from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. The modification allows for a maximum expenditure of $10,000,000, with a guaranteed minimum of $50. This contract is part of the Department of General Services' initiative to provide maintenance and repair services, including emergency response and preventative maintenance, to reduce work order backlogs for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities. 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.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing a living wage of $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, which will increase to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025. It clarifies the definition of "affiliated employee" to exclude those providing only incidental services and outlines specific exemptions from the Living Wage Act. The bill mandates that all recipients and subcontractors notify affiliated employees and maintain payroll records for three years, with the Department of Employment Services responsible for monitoring compliance and addressing violations. Overall, the bill aims to ensure fair compensation for workers involved in government contracts and assistance programs while updating wage rates to reflect current market conditions.
