6.1. Davis Bacon Wage Rates are applicable to this project. Current prevailing wage determination(s) at time of issuance of solicitation are General Decision Number MA140001, Modification Number 3 dated 03/28/2014 for Barnstable County.

In the event the current prevailing Wage Determination is changed by the Department of Labor prior to the closing date of this solicitation, it is the offeror’s responsibility to insure the most recent determination is used in preparing the proposal. An Amendment will not be issued prior to closing to change Wage Determination dates and/or numbers.

If applicable, these offerors/contractors will be given a reasonable opportunity to provide revised proposals solely to amend proposals due to Wage

Determination changes. If the wage determination modification does not change any affected wage rates, then the provisions of FAR 22.404-5(c)(4) will apply.
