Council adopted the amendment 13-0-2 on March 11, 2026, and the Mayor approved it by March 25, 2026.

Full summary

This file concerns a second amendment to contract C-143134 with GCAP Services, Inc., a firm that provides prevailing wage compliance services to the City. The Mayor's office submitted a City Administrative Officer report on February 18, 2026, recommending approval of the amendment. Prevailing wage compliance work involves monitoring and enforcing requirements that workers on certain public projects be paid at prevailing wage rates set by the Department of Industrial Relations. The Housing and Homelessness Committee reviewed the amendment on March 4, 2026, and approved it as amended. Full Council adopted the amendment on March 11, 2026, by a vote of 13-0-2. The file was transmitted to the Mayor on March 15, 2026, and Mayor approval became effective by March 25, 2026, completing the standard contract approval process. Despite Council approval and mayoral sign-off in March, the file remained open and the Los Angeles Housing Department submitted an additional document on July 29, 2026, which was referred to the Housing and Homelessness Committee on July 31, 2026. The Committee then scheduled the item for committee meeting on August 19, 2026, indicating either a follow-up administrative matter, potential modification, or routine oversight review related to the contract. The file is currently pending in the Housing and Homelessness Committee and does not expire until August 14, 2028.
