On June 4, AGC held its third session in its new Federal Contracting: Stimulus at Work webinar series, entitled "How to Handle Claims and Disputes." The federal market has changed dramatically over the last six months and this program provided participants with the ins and outs of federal contracts and what makes them unique. The webinar also included information on the AGC's Ethics and Compliance Program Toolkit and AGC's Construction Contractors Guide to Department of Defense Past Performance Evaluation.
The final webinar in this series will provide an overview of the existing process and walk attendees through the evolution of federal contracting. "The Recovery Act" webinar on June 11 will provide information and clarification on some of the most challenging issues surrounding the Recovery package, including new rules governing the following:
- New Buy American Rules;
- Reporting Requirements, including Salary Disclosure for Contractors;
- Inspectors General and GAO Access to Contractors Employees; and
