The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002AE with PMGL LLC by exercising Option Year Two, which will extend the contract from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000. This modification allows PMGL LLC to continue providing essential maintenance and repair services for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities, focusing on reducing work order backlogs and addressing both emergency and routine maintenance needs. The modification includes a guaranteed minimum contract value of $50 and mandates compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule No. 2015-4282, Revision No. 32, effective December 23, 2024, as well as adherence to the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act to establish new living wage rates, setting the rate at $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and increasing it to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025, for contractors and recipients of government assistance valued at $100,000 or more. The bill outlines specific definitions and exemptions from the living wage requirement, including contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and certain service contracts. It also mandates that recipients and subcontractors maintain payroll records for at least three years and provides a framework for monitoring compliance through the Department of Employment Services (DOES).
