The proposed bill seeks to amend the existing Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-RFP-0020D with Chiaramonte Construction Company to fully exercise option year one for On-call General Maintenance and Repair Services, establishing a new total not-to-exceed contract value of $20,995,000. This includes a base period and four option years, with the remaining portion of Option Year 1 running from December 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The modification guarantees a minimum contract value of $250 and incorporates compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act. Additionally, the contractor agrees to waive any claims against the Department related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification, while all other terms of the original contract remain unchanged.

Furthermore, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, setting the living wage rate at $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and increasing it to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025. This requirement applies to contracts of $100,000 or more and to subcontractors receiving $15,000 or more, as well as to recipients of government assistance of $100,000 or more and their subcontractors receiving $50,000 or more. The bill also outlines exemptions from the living wage requirement and clarifies definitions and enforcement mechanisms, emphasizing compliance and recordkeeping for recipients and subcontractors. Overall, the legislative effort aims to enhance fair compensation practices for workers while ensuring adherence to labor standards.
