The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-RFP-0020C with Capital Construction Enterprises, Inc. by fully exercising option year one for On-call General Maintenance and Repair Services (M&R) with a not-to-exceed amount of $20,000,000. This modification extends the contract's performance period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, allowing the contractor to continue providing essential maintenance services across various disciplines. The bill guarantees a minimum contract amount of $250 and ensures compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006. Additionally, it includes a release clause where the contractor waives claims against the Department related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification.

Furthermore, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing a living wage requirement for recipients of new contracts or government assistance, mandating a minimum pay of $17.50 per hour from January 1, 2025, increasing to $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025. This requirement applies to contracts valued at $100,000 or more and includes specific exemptions for certain contracts and employees. The bill also introduces updates to wage determinations for various occupations, adjusting pay rates to align with industry standards and labor market demands, while ensuring compliance with labor regulations. Overall, the bill aims to enhance workforce satisfaction and promote fair compensation across multiple job categories.
