The proposed bill includes Modification No. M02 to Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002AE with PMGL LLC, which seeks to exercise the second option year of the contract 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, as part of the Department of General Services' initiative to provide maintenance and repair services for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities. The modification also incorporates compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule No. 2015-4282 and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, ensuring that the contractor adheres to updated wage requirements throughout the option period.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006 to establish 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 recipients of government assistance valued at $100,000 or more, as well as their subcontractors. The bill outlines specific exemptions from the living wage requirement, such as contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and collective bargaining agreements. It also mandates that recipients and subcontractors provide notice of wage requirements to employees and maintain payroll records for compliance monitoring by the Department of Employment Services.
