The current slowdown in commercial construction work has led many contractors to consider competing for federal government contracting work—often for the first time. With $134 billion earmarked for construction spending under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, federal contracting has the potential to be highly lucrative for large and small construction firms across the country.
This webinar is designed to help you better understand what is involved in federal contracting and how your firm can successfully beat out the competition. Join Reggie Jones as he discusses the opportunities, obligations and pitfalls of federal government contracting work and how your company can tap into the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus money.
This webinar will help you answer the following questions:
How can I get involved with federal construction? Learn how to get involved in federal construction, particularly small businesses.
What are the opportunities and benefits of getting involved with federal construction? Identify the opportunities and benefits involved with federal stimulus money and federal government contracts.
What obligations are attached to all federal contracting? Understand the diverse legal obligations associated with federal contracting.
