Questions about Delaware's Davis-Bacon changes

Whenever DOL modifies a wage determination. So far in 2026, DOL has published 11 modifications to Delaware wage determinations that changed, added or removed a rate, all dated May 18, 2026, when DOL reissued most WDs.
Does a new modification change the rates on my contract?
