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 contractor's provision of comprehensive maintenance services from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $2,539,218.20. The modification ensures compliance with the latest U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act, which mandates that the contractor adheres to updated wage standards throughout the contract's option period.

Additionally, the bill introduces new wage rates for various occupations, including a Licensed Practical Nurse I at $27.72 and a Registered Nurse III at $47.12, while also adjusting rates for other positions to enhance overall compensation. It establishes a conformance process for unlisted job classifications, ensuring fair compensation for all employees based on their duties. The Living Wage Act of 2006 is reinforced, setting the living wage at $17.50 per hour from January 1, 2025, and increasing to $17.95 per hour from July 1, 2025, with specific exemptions outlined for certain contracts and employee categories. The Department of Employment Services will oversee compliance and address any wage discrepancies reported by individuals.
