How soon must a prime contract be awarded or negotiated after a prevailing wage rate determination is issued?
If a prevailing wage rate determination is issued on or before June 30th in a particular year, prime contracts must be awarded or negotiated by the end of that year. If a prevailing wage rate determination is issued after June 30th in a particular year, prime contracts must be awarded or negotiated within 180 days of the date of issuance. If a prime contract is not awarded or negotiated prior to the expiration date, another prevailing wage rate determination must be requested. Prevailing wage rate determinations for state highway and bridge projects are issued once a year on the last working day in April. Each annual determination is good until the next annual determination is issued.
