The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002N with RBK Construction, Inc. by exercising Option Year Four, which will extend the contract from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with a maximum value of $10,000,000. This modification allows RBK Construction to continue providing essential maintenance and repair services for municipal and D.C. Public School facilities, with a guaranteed minimum order value of $50. The bill also ensures compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act, which has been amended to set new living wage rates of $17.50 per hour starting January 1, 2025, and $17.95 per hour from July 1, 2025.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of "affiliated employees" and outlines exemptions from the Living Wage Act, ensuring that only those directly compensated through government contracts or assistance are covered. It mandates that all recipients of contracts valued at $100,000 or more, as well as their subcontractors, adhere to the new living wage requirements. The Department of Employment Services will monitor compliance, and individuals can report violations regarding non-payment of the living wage. The bill aims to promote fair compensation practices for workers involved in government contracts and assistance programs while updating wage rates to reflect current labor market conditions.
