The proposed Modification No. M12 to Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFP-0013B with RSC Electrical & Mechanical Contractors, Inc. seeks to exercise the fourth option year of the contract for consolidated maintenance services at the Department of Employment Services (DOES). This modification will extend the contract from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $2,539,218.20, which includes $2,289,218.20 for basic services and a $250,000 allowance for supplemental services. The modification is confirmed to be legally and fiscally sufficient, aligning with the appropriated budget authority, and the contractor is compliant with District tax obligations and U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination requirements.

Additionally, the bill updates wage determinations for various occupations under the Service Contract Act, introducing new wage rates for positions such as Licensed Practical Nurse I at $27.72 and Registered Nurse IV at $56.48, while also marking certain child care positions for deletion. It emphasizes compliance with the Living Wage Act of 2006, which mandates a living wage of $17.50 per hour from January 1, 2025, increasing to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025, for contracts valued at $100,000 or more. The bill outlines exemptions from this requirement and establishes the Department of Employment Services as the monitoring body for compliance, ensuring fair compensation and labor practices across various job categories.
