The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-24-NC-RFP-0023 with Universal Protection Services, LLC, to fully exercise option year one for armed and unarmed security guard personnel services, extending the contract period through September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $50,000,000. The modification includes a guaranteed minimum service value of $250 and decreases the penal value of payment and performance bonds from 35% to 25%. Additionally, it mandates compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act, ensuring that the contractor adheres to current wage requirements.

Furthermore, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing a new living wage rate of $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025, for recipients of new contracts or government assistance valued at $100,000 or more. It defines "affiliated employee," outlines exemptions, and requires recipients and subcontractors to maintain payroll records for three years. The Department of Employment Services will oversee enforcement, allowing individuals to file complaints regarding non-compliance with the living wage law. Overall, the bill aims to ensure fair compensation for workers while maintaining effective security services for government operations.
