COVID-19 Mandate Update
The OSHA ETS is headed toward enactment, a final rule, and arguments before the Supreme Court. Phyllis Karasov (Larkin Hoffman) provides a great summary here.
The federal contractor mandate is stayed (on hold) until at least January 24th when the case will be argued before the Circuit Court. This oral argument is not on the case-in-chief (whether the mandate should be thrown out) but only whether the stay should remain in effect. It is the first lap of a long run.

AGC Contracts Update
AGC is updating its form construction contracts. If you are interested in helping with the final review, please contact Mike. There will be a seminar at the Construction Summit explaining when to use and how best to use these contracts (and other forms). Be sure to attend. Also, all attendees will receive three free uploads to DocumentCrunch (a $900 value). DocumentCrunch analyzes a contract, identifies concerning provisions, suggests more standard language, and produces a report for field staff to quickly find and comply with contract provisions. It saves time, increases reliability, and helps avoid problems. And it’s FREE for attending the Construction Summit. |
