The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-23-NC-RFP-0009H with One Kare Enterprise, LLC, to exercise Option Year Three (OY3) for comprehensive janitorial and related supplemental services for public education facilities in the District of Columbia. The modification establishes a not-to-exceed contract value of $2,792,547.83 for the period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. It includes a firm-fixed price for basic services and an allowance for supplemental services, while ensuring compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006. The bill also incorporates a release clause, waiving any claims against the Department related to this modification.

Additionally, the bill updates wage determinations for various occupations, ensuring that compensation reflects current market standards. It sets the living wage at $17.50 per hour starting January 1, 2025, increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025, for contractors and recipients of government assistance valued at $100,000 or more. Exemptions to the living wage requirement are outlined, including contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and collective bargaining agreements. The bill emphasizes compliance with labor standards and mandates that recipients provide notice to employees about their rights under the law, while the Department of Employment Services will monitor compliance.
