The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-RFP-0020B with CAP Innovative Design, LLC, allowing for the exercise of Option Year Two (OY2) for General Contractor On-call General Maintenance and Repair Services. This modification establishes a not-to-exceed amount of $20,000,000 for the period from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, with a guaranteed minimum of $250. The contractor is required to provide essential maintenance services across various disciplines and comply with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act. The continuation of services is contingent upon the appropriation of the budget by Congress, and the contractor agrees to waive any claims against the Department related to delays or additional costs arising from this modification.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, setting the living wage at $17.95 per hour starting January 1, 2026, and increasing it to $18.40 on July 1, 2026. It clarifies the definition of "affiliated employee" to exclude those providing only incidental services and outlines specific exemptions from the Living Wage Act, including contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and collective bargaining agreements. The bill emphasizes the enforcement responsibilities of the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement, requiring recipients and subcontractors to notify affiliated employees and maintain payroll records for at least three years.
