The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-23-NC-RFP-0009D to exercise Option Year Three for the City-Wide Comprehensive Janitorial and Related Supplemental Services provided by Capital Construction Enterprises Inc. This modification allows the contractor to continue essential services, including routine maintenance and deep-cleaning, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,171,008.40, covering the period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The contract ensures compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act, with a firm-fixed price for monthly basic services set at $921,008.40 and an additional non-guaranteed cost reimbursement of $250,000.00 for supplemental services.
Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing new living wage rates for government contractors and assistance recipients. 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 mandates that contractors and subcontractors receiving specified amounts from government contracts or assistance adhere to these wage standards, while also outlining exemptions for certain contracts and employee categories. The amendments aim to ensure fair compensation for workers while maintaining flexibility for specific agreements and employment situations.
