The proposed Modification No. M01 to Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-IFB-0011B seeks to exercise Option Year One for plumbing maintenance and repair services provided by American Construct, LLC, increasing the contract's not-to-exceed value from $995,000 to $5,000,000 for the period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. This modification includes a guaranteed minimum of $250 and is justified by the Department's growing service needs. It 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 and the services provided, while all other terms of the original contract remain unchanged.

Additionally, the bill outlines updates to wage determinations under the Service Contract Act, specifying minimum wage rates for various occupations, with a minimum wage of $17.75 per hour for contracts entered into or renewed after January 30, 2022. The Living Wage Act of 2006 mandates that recipients of contracts or government assistance from the District of Columbia must pay a minimum living wage, which will be set at $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and increase to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025. The bill also details specific exemptions to the Living Wage Act, including certain contracts and employees not subject to the living wage requirements, and emphasizes the importance of compliance and reporting violations to the appropriate authorities.
