The proposed bill seeks approval from the Council of the District of Columbia for a contract with Public Performance Management LLC, valued at up to $10,000,000 for one year, to provide mission-oriented business integrated services under the District of Columbia Supply Schedule (DCSS) program. This contract includes a minimum order guarantee of $10 for the base year and four option years, ensuring funds are allocated for potential costs. The contractor, a certified local business enterprise, was selected based on competitive pricing and satisfactory past performance, contributing to job creation for city residents. The bill also outlines the scope of services, which includes consultation, training, and support products aimed at improving the efficiency of District agencies, and establishes guidelines for deliverables, invoicing, and compliance with the Living Wage Act.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, setting new living wage rates of $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and $17.95 per hour starting July 1, 2025, for contractors and recipients of government assistance valued at $100,000 or more. It specifies that subcontractors receiving $15,000 or more must also comply with this wage requirement. The bill outlines exemptions from the living wage requirement, such as contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and certain utility service contracts. Furthermore, it establishes a clear dispute resolution process for contract claims, including timelines for the Contracting Officer to respond, and introduces a revised "Changes Clause" to allow for contract modifications without notice to the surety.
