The proposed Modification No. M0011 to Contract No. CW100813 with Alpha Security, Inc. aims to exercise option year three for supplemental security guard services at the DC Department of Corrections, covering the period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with a maximum expenditure of $2,995,086.30. This modification adheres to the Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010 and has been certified for funding by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer. The modification incorporates the Living Wage Fact Sheet and Living Wage Notice into the contract terms, while all other conditions of the original contract remain unchanged. Alpha Security, Inc. is confirmed to be compliant with the Citywide Clean Hands database, indicating no outstanding liabilities.
Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions aimed at enhancing public resource management, including new guidelines for the management of public resources and enhanced accountability measures for public officials. It also seeks to delete previously established protocols that have proven ineffective, streamlining processes to improve efficiency and transparency. Furthermore, the bill outlines living wage requirements for government contractors, setting the wage at $17.50 per hour from January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025, and increasing it to $17.95 per hour thereafter. Exemptions from this requirement are specified for certain contracts and employee categories, with the Department of Employment Services tasked with monitoring compliance.
