The bill proposes modifications to Contract No. DCAM-21-CS-RFP-0008S for Construction Management Services, specifically extending the contract's performance period and financial provisions. It allows the Department of General Services (DGS) to exercise the remainder of option year four, extending the contract from March 28, 2026, to March 27, 2027, with a not-to-exceed amount of $3,000,000. The contract maintains a minimum guaranteed value of $50 and incorporates compliance with the US Department of Labor Wage Determination Schedule and the Living Wage Act of 2006. Additionally, the bill includes a release clause where the contractor waives any claims against the Department related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification.
Furthermore, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, clarifying the definition of "affiliated employee" to exclude those providing only intermittent or incidental services. It establishes the living wage rate at $16.50 per hour from January 1, 2023, until June 30, 2023, increasing to $17.00 per hour starting July 1, 2023. The bill mandates that all recipients and subcontractors provide notice to affiliated employees and retain payroll records for at least three years, with the Department of Employment Services responsible for monitoring compliance. Overall, the legislation aims to ensure adherence to updated labor standards while extending the contract's duration and scope.
