The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-RFP-0020E with DC General Construction, 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 services across various disciplines, including electrical and plumbing. The modification includes a guaranteed minimum amount of $250 and aligns with the District's financial plan. Additionally, the bill incorporates compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, ensuring adherence to current wage standards.

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, which will increase to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025. This requirement applies to contracts valued at $100,000 or more and to subcontractors receiving $15,000 or more. The bill also outlines specific exemptions from the living wage requirement and mandates that the Department of Employment Services oversee enforcement. Overall, the bill aims to enhance job satisfaction and retention by ensuring equitable compensation across various job classifications while maintaining compliance with labor regulations.
