The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-RFP-0020H with JL Terrell Construction, LLC, by fully exercising option year one for On-call General Maintenance and Repair Services (M&R) with a not-to-exceed amount of $20,000,000. This modification extends the contract's performance period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, and includes a guaranteed minimum contract amount of $250. The contract is structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) agreement, allowing for flexibility in task orders. The modification ensures compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act of 2006, maintaining adherence to current wage requirements.
Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing that recipients of new contracts or government assistance must pay affiliated employees and subcontractors no less than the current living wage, set to be $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025. The bill outlines exemptions from this requirement and clarifies definitions related to "affiliated employee." It mandates that recipients and subcontractors notify affected employees of the living wage requirements and emphasizes enforcement by the Department of Employment Services, including a process for filing complaints regarding non-compliance.
