The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-24-NC-RFP-0020E with Public Performance Management by exercising Option Year Two, extending the contract for maintenance and repair services from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with a maximum value increase from $950,000 to $1.5 million annually. This modification includes a guaranteed minimum of $250 and mandates compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act. The total not-to-exceed value for the base period and both option years is set at $3,950,000, while all other terms of the original contract remain unchanged.
Additionally, the bill proposes an increase in the District's Minimum Wage and Living Wage rates to $17.95 per hour, effective July 1, 2025. It stipulates that subcontractors receiving $15,000 or more from D.C. government contracts, as well as those receiving $50,000 or more from government assistance, must pay their affiliated employees at least the living wage rate. The bill outlines specific exemptions from the Living Wage Act, including contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and collective bargaining agreements, while enforcement will be managed by the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement.
