The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-RFP-0020I with Keystone Plus Construction Corporation to fully exercise option year one for On-call General Maintenance and Repair Services, extending the contract period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $20,000,000. The modification includes a guaranteed minimum of $250 and maintains compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006. Additionally, the contractor waives 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, establishing a living wage of $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and increasing it to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025, for contracts and government assistance valued at $100,000 or more. It defines "affiliated employee," outlines exemptions, and emphasizes enforcement responsibilities for compliance monitoring by the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement. The bill also includes provisions for filing complaints regarding non-compliance and mandates that recipients and subcontractors inform employees of their rights under the Living Wage Act, ensuring fair compensation for workers involved in government contracts and assistance programs in the District of Columbia.
