(a) Determinations will be reviewed periodically and where
prevailing wage rates or fringe benefits have changed, such changes
will be reflected in revised determinations. For example, in a locality
where it is determined that the wage rate which prevails for a
particular class of service employees is the rate specified in a
collective bargaining agreement(s) applicable in that locality, and
such agreement(s) specifies increases in such rates to be effective on
specific dates, the determinations would be revised to reflect such
changes as they become effective. Revised determinations shall be
applicable to contracts in accordance with the provisions of Sec.
4.5(a) of subpart A.

(b) Determinations issued by the Wage and Hour Division with
respect to particular contracts are required to be incorporated in the
invitations for bids or requests for proposals or quotations issued by
the contracting agencies, and are to be incorporated in the contract
specifications in accordance with Sec. 4.5 of subpart A. In this
manner, prospective contractors and subcontractors are advised of the
minimum monetary wages and fringe benefits required under the most
recently applicable determination to be paid the service employees who
perform the contract work. These requirements are the same for all
bidders so none will be placed at a competitive disadvantage.
