The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-RFP-0020M with SPD Contracting, Inc. by fully exercising option year one for on-call general maintenance and repair services, extending the contract period through September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $20,000,000. The modification allows SPD Contracting to continue providing essential maintenance services across various disciplines, including electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire safety systems. The bill also incorporates compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, ensuring that the contractor adheres to current wage determinations and living wage requirements throughout the option period.
Additionally, the bill introduces a hazardous pay differential for employees working with ordnance, explosives, and incendiary materials, establishing an 8 percent differential for high-hazard positions and a 4 percent differential for low-hazard positions. It mandates that District of Columbia government contractors pay a living wage of $17.50 per hour from January 1, 2025, until June 30, 2025, increasing to $17.95 per hour thereafter, applicable to contracts of $100,000 or more. The bill outlines exemptions for certain contracts and emphasizes enforcement by the Department of Employment Services, ensuring fair labor standards and protections for workers in federally contracted positions.
