The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-RFP-0020F with Global Vision and Development, LLC, to fully exercise option year one for On-call General Maintenance and Repair Services. This modification establishes a guaranteed minimum contract value of $250 and a not-to-exceed amount of $20,000,000, effective from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The services will cover significant repairs and system upgrades in essential trade disciplines, including electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire safety systems. The bill also ensures compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, requiring the contractor to adhere to current wage standards.
Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, mandating that recipients of new contracts or government assistance pay their employees and subcontractors no less than the current living wage, which will be set at $17.50 per hour starting January 1, 2025, and increase to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025. This requirement applies to contracts valued at $100,000 or more and includes specific exemptions for certain contracts and employees. The Department of Employment Services will oversee enforcement, ensuring compliance with these wage standards and addressing any violations reported.
