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 is intended to support the contractor in providing essential general 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 $1,500,000 to accommodate the growing needs of the Department of General Services, while ensuring the contractor is compliant with District tax obligations.

Additionally, the bill updates wage determination requirements under the Service Contract Act, establishing a minimum wage of $17.75 per hour for covered workers starting in 2025 for contracts entered into after January 30, 2022. It also sets a minimum wage of $13.30 per hour for contracts awarded between January 1, 2015, and January 29, 2022, unless a higher rate is specified. The bill includes provisions for annual adjustments to wage rates, outlines specific wage rates for various occupations, and mandates health and welfare benefits, vacation time, and paid sick leave for federal contractors. Furthermore, it establishes enforcement mechanisms through the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement, ensuring compliance with living wage requirements and protections for home care workers.
