5-7. Timely Receipt of SCA WD Revisions - FAR 22.1012.
a. For contract actions other than Sealed Bidding:
(1) A revised WD shall be effective if it is received by the contracting agency before date of award
(or date of modification for option or extension).
(2) If a revised WD is received after award, it shall not be effective if contract performance starts
less than 30 days from date of award or modification.
(3) If a revised WD is received after award and performance starts more than 30 days from award
date, WD will be effective if received no later than 10 days prior to start of performance.
(4) Under the WDOL Program,"received" includes being published on the WDOL Program SCA
Database.
b. For contract actions involving Sealed Bidding: A revised WD shall not be effective if received by
the contracting agency less than 10 days prior to opening of bids, unless there is sufficient time to amend
the solicitation and incorporate the late WD.
5-8. Selecting the Appropriate SCA WD.
a. Select the WD applicable to the locality (county) where the services are to be performed. If
place of performance is unknown, list all possible or potential places based on bidders list information
(reference FAR 22.1009), and provide appropriate WDs for each locality listed.
b. On June 1, 1997, DOL initiated a new methodology to determine an appropriate, single SCA
H&W benefit rate for SCA WDs. The new, single rate was established at
||content||
.91 per hour, to be
reached in stages over several years (each increase to be published annually on June 1st). On June 1,
2001, DOL published SCA WDs with an H&W rate of .02 per hour. However, DOL will continue
to publish SCA WDs listing the old, higher rate of .56 per hour H&W rate because this rate will
continue to be applicable to certain contract actions in accordance with DOL's "All Agency
Memorandum #188" published in the Federal Register on December 30, 1996, (page 68647).
