The proposed bill seeks to amend the existing Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-RFP-0020G with H.E.P. Construction, Inc. to fully exercise Option Year 1 for on-call general maintenance and repair services, extending the contract period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $20 million. The modification includes a guaranteed minimum 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. The contractor is required to adhere to current wage determinations and living wage requirements, while all other terms of the original contract remain unchanged.

Additionally, the bill updates wage determinations for various occupations, establishing new pay rates for job titles across multiple sectors, such as Data Entry Operators and Plumbers. It sets the living wage rate at $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025, for contracts and government assistance valued at $100,000 or more. The bill outlines exemptions from the living wage requirement and emphasizes the enforcement of compliance by the Department of Employment Services, ensuring that contractors maintain payroll records for at least three years. Overall, the bill aims to enhance workforce equity and establish fair compensation standards for employees engaged in federal contract work.
