The proposed bill seeks the Council's approval for a contract with Spectrum Management, LLC, for on-call HVAC maintenance, repair, and installation services across various public facilities in the District of Columbia. The contract has a not-to-exceed amount of $15,000,000 and a performance period of one year. It establishes a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) that allows the contractor to be included on the Department of General Services' roster for HVAC-related projects, with task orders detailing the scope of work, pricing, and completion dates. The bill also emphasizes compliance with the District's Clean Hands requirements and outlines the contractor's responsibilities regarding project management, safety, and communication with the Department.

Additionally, the bill introduces new legal language to amend existing laws related to wage definitions and fringe benefits, clarifying that "wages" include both the basic hourly rate and contributions to fringe benefit funds. It sets the living wage at $17.50 per hour starting January 1, 2025, increasing to $18.00 per hour on July 1, 2025, for contractors and subcontractors receiving contracts or assistance of $100,000 or more. The bill mandates compliance with various labor standards, including the Davis-Bacon Act, and emphasizes the importance of maintaining accurate payroll records. It also outlines penalties for non-compliance and establishes a certification process for businesses to ensure the accuracy of their information and adherence to legal requirements.
