The proposed Modification No. M05 to Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-RFP-0020F with Global Vision and Development, LLC, seeks to exercise the second option year of the contract for General Contractor On-call General Maintenance and Repair Services, allowing for a not-to-exceed amount of $20,000,000 for the period from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. The contractor will continue to provide essential maintenance and repair services across various disciplines, including electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire safety systems. The modification includes a guaranteed minimum contract value of $250 and mandates compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act. The continuation of services during Fiscal Year 2027 is contingent upon the appropriation of the FY27 budget by the United States Congress.

Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing a living wage rate of $17.95 per hour effective January 1, 2026, increasing to $18.40 per hour on July 1, 2026. It clarifies that subcontractors receiving $15,000 or more from a government contract must adhere to the same wage requirements. The bill also outlines exemptions from the Living Wage Act, including contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and certain categories of employees, such as students working part-time and employees of small nonprofit organizations. The enforcement of the Living Wage Act will be monitored by the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement, ensuring compliance and addressing non-compliance issues.
