    Subpart 22.4_Labor Standards for Contracts Involving Construction

 

Sec. 22.404-9  Award of contract without required wage determination.



    (a) If a contract is awarded without the required wage determination 

(i.e., incorporating no determination, containing a clearly inapplicable 

general wage determination, or containing a project determination which 

is inapplicable because of an inaccurate description of the project or 

its location), the contracting officer shall initiate action to 

incorporate the required determination in the contract immediately upon 

discovery of the error. If a required wage determination (valid 

determination in effect on the date of award) is not available, the 

contracting officer shall expeditiously request a wage determination 

from the Department of Labor, including a statement explaining the 

crcumstances and giving the date of the contract award.

    (b) The contracting officer shall--

    (1) Modify the contract to incorporate the required wage 

determination (retroactive to the date of award), and equitably adjust 

the contract price if appropriate; or

    (2) Terminate the contract.
