The proposed Modification No. M02 to Contract No. DCAM-24-NC-RFP-0020A seeks to extend the contract for Professional Management Consulting Services for an additional year, from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $1,500,000 and a guaranteed minimum of $250. This extension will allow 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 modification 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.

Furthermore, the bill proposes an increase in the District's Minimum Wage and Living Wage rates to $17.95 per hour, effective July 1, 2025, and outlines specific exemptions from the Living Wage Act, such as contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and certain utility service contracts. It mandates that subcontractors receiving significant amounts from government contracts or assistance must pay their employees at least the living wage rate. The enforcement of these provisions will be managed by the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement, ensuring fair compensation for workers involved in government contracts and assistance programs.
