The proposed bill includes Modification No. M04 to Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002N with RBK Construction, Inc., which seeks to exercise the fourth 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. The contract is part of the Department of General Services' initiative to provide maintenance and repair services for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities, addressing work order backlogs and critical repair needs. The modification reflects an increase in the contract's value based on revised service requirements and confirms compliance with local regulations, including tax certification for RBK Construction, Inc.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing new living wage rates for government contractors and recipients of government assistance 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 definitions related to contracts and government assistance, specifies exemptions, and mandates that recipients maintain payroll records and provide notice to affiliated employees. The Department of Employment Services (DOES) will monitor compliance, allowing individuals to report violations regarding non-payment of the living wage.
