The proposed Modification No. M01 seeks to extend the contract for Electrical Maintenance and Repair Services with RSC Electrical & Mechanical Contractors, Inc. from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This modification includes a guaranteed minimum amount of $250 and raises the Not-To-Exceed (NTE) value from $995,000 to $5,000,000, reflecting the Department's increasing needs for strategic management consulting services. The modification also ensures compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act, while confirming that the contractor is current with District taxes and adheres to ethical standards. All other terms of the original contract remain unchanged.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, mandating that recipients of new contracts or government assistance pay affiliated employees and subcontractors at least the current living wage, set at $17.50 per hour from January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025, and increasing to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025. This requirement applies to contracts valued at $100,000 or more and to subcontractors receiving $15,000 or more. The bill also defines "affiliated employee," outlines exemptions, and mandates record-keeping and notice provisions for compliance. The Department of Employment Services (DOES) will oversee enforcement, allowing individuals to report non-compliance or wage violations.
