| A. Project wage determinations initially issued shall be effective for 120 calendar days from the date of such determinations. If such a wage determination is not used in the period of its effectiveness, it is void. If it appears that a wage determination may expire between bid opening and award, the awarding agent should request a new wage determination sufficiently in advance of the bid opening to assure receipt prior thereto. However, when due to unavoidable circumstances a determination expires before award and after bid closing, the Industrial Commission, upon a written finding to that effect by the awarding agent, in individual cases may extend the expiration date of a determination whenever they find it necessary and proper and in the public interest to prevent injustice or undue hardship or to avoid serious impairment in the conduct of public business.
B. General wage determinations issued pursuant to R20-5-905(1), of these procedures shall contain no expiration date. These general wage determinations shall be modified and the modifications published on a timely basis to keep them current.
C. All actions modifying an original project wage determination prior to the award of the contract or contracts for which the determination was sought shall be applicable thereto, but modifications published later than 15 days before the date set for opening of bids shall not be effective, except when the awarding agent finds that there is a reasonable time in which to notify bidders of the modification.
D. All actions modifying a general wage determination shall be applicable thereto, but modifications published later than 15 days before the date set for opening of bids shall not be effective, except when the awarding agent finds that there is a reasonable time in which to notify bidders of the modification.
E. Upon their own initiative or the request of an awarding agent, the Industrial Commission shall correct any wage determinations included in a contract subject to the minimum wage provisions of A.R.S. Title 34, whenever it is found such a wage determination contains clerical errors.
