The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-24-NC-RFP-0020B with The Robert Bobb Group by exercising the second option year of the contract, which will extend from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. The modification allows for a maximum expenditure of $1,500,000, with a guaranteed minimum of $250. This contract encompasses strategic management consulting services, including maintenance, emergency response, and preventative maintenance, aimed at improving efficiency in handling work orders. The modification also ensures compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act, requiring the contractor to adhere to these regulations throughout the option period. A release clause is included, where the contractor waives any claims against the Department related to this modification.

Additionally, the bill outlines the Living Wage Act of 2006, which mandates that contractors and recipients of government assistance in the District of Columbia pay their employees a minimum wage that aligns with the living wage, set to increase to $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025. The Act defines "affiliated employee" and specifies exemptions for certain contracts, including those subject to higher federal wage determinations and collective bargaining agreements. The enforcement of the Living Wage Act will be overseen by the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement, with provisions for reporting violations and ensuring compliance with labor standards.
