The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-IFB-0012A with Keystone Plus Construction Corporation by exercising Option Year One for electrical maintenance and repair services, extending the contract period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The modification increases the contract's not-to-exceed value from $995,000 to $5,000,000 annually to accommodate the growing service needs of the Department of General Services. It includes a guaranteed minimum of $250 for the option year and ensures compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, which mandates fair compensation for workers.
Additionally, the bill updates wage determinations for various occupations, specifying new wage rates for job titles and introducing a conformance process for unlisted classifications. It establishes a living wage requirement of $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025, for contracts valued at $100,000 or more. The bill outlines exemptions from this requirement and assigns the Department of Employment Services the responsibility for monitoring compliance. Overall, the bill aims to ensure continued service delivery while adhering to updated wage standards and contractual obligations.
