Inclusion in Contract of Adjusted Davis-Bacon Wage Rate and Adjustment of Contract Price

The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Programs and Acquisition), requested an opinion concerning modifying a contract for housing rehabilitation because higher union wage rates prevail in area. Contract may be modified to reflect wage scales omitted from Government determination by clerical error. Also, revised contract price should be based on difference between new wage rates and actual labor costs to contractor. (DJM)
