The proposed Modification No. M01 to Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-IFB-0012B with RSC Electrical & Mechanical Contractors, Inc. seeks to exercise the first option year for Electrical Maintenance and Repair Services, extending the contract from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This modification increases the not-to-exceed (NTE) amount from $995,000 to $5,000,000 annually to accommodate the growing service needs of the Department of General Services. The contractor is also required to comply with the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, which mandates a minimum wage of $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025.

Additionally, the bill outlines various occupational classifications and their corresponding wage rates, ensuring fair compensation for workers in federally contracted positions. It specifies exemptions to the Living Wage Act, including contracts subject to federal wage determinations, collective bargaining agreements, and certain service agreements. The enforcement of the Living Wage Act will be managed by the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement, with provisions for reporting violations and ensuring compliance with wage requirements. Overall, the bill aims to enhance service provision while ensuring fair labor practices and compliance with existing wage laws.
