Question: The Wage Determination included is the “even” numbered, versus “odd” numbered version. The even numbered requires the bidder apply the hourly H&W amount to all hours “WORKED”, which would include all overtime, but exclude vacation and holiday hours paid.

The “odd” numbered version of the same Wage determination (2005-2117, Rev. 17, dtd. 06-19- 2013) only requires the Hourly H&W amount be applied to all hours “PAID”, but limited to 40 hours a week, or 2,080 in a year. Will the government replace the Attachment 3 wage determination with the ”odd” numbered version, versus the current “even” numbered version?

Answer: No. DoL regulations and yearly All-Agency memoranda that implement wage and benefit increases essentially mandate that “once even, always even.” The previous WD for this work is even so this will stay even.
