The proposed bill includes a modification to Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002Q with Spectrum Management, LLC, allowing for the exercise of Option Year Four, which will span from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. The modification sets a not-to-exceed amount 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 must comply with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, ensuring adherence to labor laws and financial parameters.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing new living wage rates for contract recipients and government assistance recipients in the District of Columbia. Effective January 1, 2025, the living wage will be set at $17.50 per hour, increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025. The bill clarifies the definition of "affiliated employee" and outlines exemptions from the Living Wage Act, including contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and collective bargaining agreements. It also mandates that recipients and subcontractors provide notice to affiliated employees and maintain payroll records for three years, with the Department of Employment Services responsible for monitoring compliance and addressing violations.
