The proposed Modification No. M02 to Contract No. DCAM-24-NC-RFP-0020A seeks to exercise Option Year Two (OY2) for Professional Management Consulting Services, extending the contract period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The modification increases the not-to-exceed (NTE) amount from $950,000 to $1,500,000, with a guaranteed minimum of $250, to address the growing needs for strategic management consulting services within the Department of General Services. The contractor must comply with U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act throughout the option period, and a release clause is included, waiving any claims against the Department related to this modification.

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 mandates that subcontractors of D.C. government contractors and recipients of government assistance must pay their affiliated employees at least the living wage rate, with specific exemptions outlined for certain contracts and employee classifications. The bill also details monitoring responsibilities for the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement to ensure compliance with the new wage requirements.
