The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-23-NC-RFP-0009H with One Kare Enterprise, LLC, extending the contract for comprehensive janitorial and related supplemental services for the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) through September 30, 2026. The total not-to-exceed amount for this modification is set at $2,792,547.83, which includes a base service cost of $2,542,547.83 and a ceiling of $250,000 for cost-reimbursable supplemental services. The modification also includes a partial exercise of the option period at no cost to the District and maintains all other terms and conditions of the original contract. Additionally, the contractor is required to comply with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006.

Furthermore, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006 to establish new living wage rates, effective January 1, 2025, at $17.50 per hour, increasing to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025, for recipients of contracts valued at $100,000 or more and their subcontractors. The definition of "affiliated employees" is clarified, and certain exemptions are outlined, including contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and collective bargaining agreements. The Department of Employment Services (DOES) will oversee compliance, allowing individuals to report violations or file complaints. Overall, the bill aims to ensure fair compensation for workers while maintaining the integrity of government contracts.
