The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-24-NC-RFP-0020C with Federal Management Systems, Inc. by exercising the second option year of the contract, which will extend from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $1,500,000. This modification allows the contractor to continue providing essential maintenance and repair services, including emergency response and preventative maintenance, as part of the District's work order reduction efforts. The bill also increases the contract's annual not-to-exceed value from $950,000 to $1.5 million to meet the growing needs of the Department of General Services, while ensuring the contractor is compliant with District tax obligations.

Additionally, the bill introduces new wage provisions under the Service Contract Act, mandating a minimum wage of $17.75 per hour for covered workers on contracts awarded in 2025, with a lower minimum wage of $13.30 for contracts awarded between January 1, 2015, and January 29, 2022, if not renewed after January 30, 2022. It outlines annual adjustments to minimum wage rates, employee benefits, and exemptions to the Living Wage Act, which will set the living wage at $17.50 per hour starting January 1, 2025, increasing to $17.95 on July 1, 2025. The bill also establishes enforcement mechanisms through the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement to ensure compliance with wage requirements and protect workers' rights.
