This bill amends Massachusetts law to require that any agreement or contract for the cleaning and maintenance of public buildings or rented spaces by state executive, legislative, or judicial departments must include a stipulation requiring prescribed rates of wages, as determined by the commissioners, to be paid to the employees of the maintenance or cleaning contractor. Additionally, the bill requires that any solicitation for such cleaning and maintenance contracts must include: (i) a statement of required hours, (ii) a worksheet requiring a breakdown of the cost components of the hourly proposed rate, and (iii) a provision for annual adjustments to the contract price to reflect increases to wage and benefits requirements as determined by the director of the department of labor standards.
