The proposed Modification No. M02 to Contract No. DCAM-25-NC-IFB-0011B with American Construct, LLC, seeks to exercise the second option year for plumbing maintenance and repair services, allowing for a not-to-exceed amount of $5,000,000 from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. The contract includes a guaranteed minimum of $250 and mandates that services be provided on an as-needed basis across District-owned and/or leased properties. Compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination and the District of Columbia Living Wage Act is required throughout the option period, and the continuation of services is contingent upon the appropriation of the FY27 budget by Congress.

The bill also outlines the financial and operational parameters of the contract, including a total not-to-exceed value of $10,995,000 for the base period and both option years. It specifies labor categories and rates for the second option year, detailing hourly rates for various plumbing positions. Additionally, the bill emphasizes the responsibilities of the Office of Contracting and Procurement in monitoring compliance with the Living Wage Act, which mandates a living wage of $17.95 per hour effective January 1, 2026, increasing to $18.40 on July 1, 2026. Exemptions to the Living Wage Act are also provided, along with contact information for compliance inquiries and reporting violations.
