A payment and performance bond shall be provided. The penal sum shall be one-hundred percent (100%) of the contract price.

9. WAGE DETERMINATION: Elevator mechanic rates are not part of the Service Contract Labor Standards Statute (formerly known as the Services Contract Act (SCA)) but instead fall under the Wage Rate Requirements (Construction) Statute (formerly known as the Davis Bacon Act (DBA)).

For purposes of this proposal, all offerors must use the rate of $51.32 per hour, without fringe benefits in their proposal and must confirm that this rate is used in their proposal. The VA will immediately submit a conformance request to the Department of Labor (DOL) to include the elevator mechanic rate in the wage determination.

Once the conformed wage determination is received, the awarded contract will be adjusted up or down to reflect the wage in the conformed wage determination and add fringe benefits. If the conformed wage determination is received before award, an amendment will be issued to incorporate the conformed wage determination and include the fringe benefits, and the offeror will be given an opportunity to revise their proposal.
