sooner_ndn Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I am trying to wrap my head around why a Contracting Officer would issue a 2009 solicitation with a 2006 wage determination that was replaced in June 2007. Below is the relevant excerpt: DOL Wage Determination No. 05-2312 (Rev 3), 12-01-2006 (8 pages) and DOL Wage Determination Number 1997-0368 (Rev 4), 03-02-2007 w/Collective Bargaining Agreement between LB&B Associates, Inc and Int?l Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 453, dated 1 May 2005 through 30 Apr 2008 (23 pages). Extension of Agreement Between LB& B Assoicates Inc and Int?l Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 453, dated 1 May 2008 (3 pages) The project involves both SCA and CBA personnel. I understand incorporating the CBA and CBA Extension but why not the prevailing WD (Rev 7) posted on WDOL on 07/15/2008? The Q&As didn't flush out answer. Anybody have reasons or guesses?

shinaku Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Cut and pasted and from old contract/solicitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sooner_ndn Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Cut and pasted and from old contract/solicitation. You would think. But the excerpt is from an Amendment 1 which was intended to address the prevailing WD and the CBA Extension. We are debating if we should propose pricing based on the 2006 WD knowing at some time either through FPRs or award, it will get corrected. I couldn't think of any reasons you would use an outdated 2006 and don't believe there is one out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KodiakBuyer Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Have you notified the Contracting Officer of the apparent error? I'd notify them immediately, otherwise, once the error is found the award process will be affected. During the solicitation period it is MUCH easier to fix. Thanks!
