The "Modification Nos. M0012 and M0013 to Contract No. CW100360 with CORE DC, LLC Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025" is an emergency bill introduced by Mayor Muriel Bowser to authorize two modifications to an existing contract with CORE DC, LLC, which provides case management services for the Permanent Supportive Housing III program. The total amount for these modifications is $1,089,834.52, intended to cover services rendered and to be rendered under the contract. The bill allows for the full exercise of the third option year of the contract and includes a provision permitting the Council to approve these modifications despite the requirements of the Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010, ensuring the continuity of essential services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the District of Columbia.
Additionally, the bill modifies the existing Human Care Agreement for the Permanent Supportive Housing Program by increasing the total not-to-exceed amount for option period three from $499,244.60 to $1,089,834.52 and extending the performance period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. It deletes 29 DCMR Chapter 25 and 77, replacing them with 29 DCMR Chapters 25 and 74, and incorporates the US Department of Labor Wage Determination No. 2015-4281, Revision No. 34. The bill also adjusts the District's living wage rate to $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and to $17.95 per hour effective July 1, 2025. Furthermore, it updates the contracting officer and contract administrator details, outlines reimbursement rates for various services, and introduces financial incentives such as retention bonuses for case managers and supervisors.
