Press Releases
Stimulus Funding Details Released
February 13, 2009
Congress is
poised to complete action on economic
stimulus legislation, HR 1, The American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The
House passed the bill 246-183 earlier today
and the Senate is scheduled to vote tonight.
All three GOP Senators who voted for the
Senate version of the bill (Specter, Snowe
and Collins) have pledged to vote for final
passage.
The Act includes
a total of $787.2 billion in spending and
tax cuts.
The bill
includes $47.8 billion in transportation
funding as follows:
-
$27.5
billion for high & bridge formula
funding
-
$1.5 billion
for discretionary competitive grant
program for surface transportation
-
$8.4 billion
public transportation
-
$850 million
Amtrak capital grants
-
$450 million
Amtrak security upgrades
-
$8 billion
for construction of high speed and
intercity rail projects
-
$1.1 billion
Airport Improvement Grants
The House Transportation and Infrastructure
Committee provided
this chart which shows a state by state
and metropolitan area breakdown of the
highway, transit and clean water state
revolving funds included in the bill.
There are
numerous tax provisions to encourage
development, capital investment, and
increasing certain bonding opportunities on
public buildings, schools and other public
works.
This chart provides an overview of the
specific tax provisions that AGC has worked
to have included in this bill. A top AGC
objective has been full repeal of the 3%
withholding on contractor payments by public
agencies. AGC was successful in having a one
year delay included in this bill and will
continue to work for total repeal.
AGC was also
successful in having a House bill
requirement removed from the final bill that
would have only allowed companies that use
E-verify to be eligible to compete for
projects funded under the bill.
Stimulus Update
February 13, 2009
The Congress is poised to pass the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The
House passed the bill 246-183 and the Senate
is voting now. All three GOP Senators who
voted for the Senate version of the bill
(Specter, Snowe and Collins) have pledged to
vote for final passage.
The Act includes
a total of $787.2 billion in spending and
tax cuts.
There is a total
of $308 billion in appropriated spending,
$269 million in direct spending (refundable
portion of tax credits, Unemployment
assistance, Medicaid reimbursement to
states, etc) and $211 billion in tax cuts.
There are
numerous tax provisions to encourage
development, encourage capital investment,
increase certain bonding opportunities on
public buildings, schools and other public
works. The attached chart provides an
overview of the specific tax provisions that
AGC has been pushing for in this bill. We
did not get the full repeal of the 3%
withholding but we did get a one year delay
in its imposition. We will continue to push
for full repeal this year.
The bill applies
Davis Bacon to all funds in the bill and it
applies a new Buy American provision to all
funds in the bill.
The bill does
not apply the Federal Acquisition
Regulations beyond the federal projects to
all of the funding in the bill even though
earlier versions of the bill did apply the
FAR to even state and local projects. We
were successful clarifying that the FAR
should only apply to direct federal
contracts.
There is no
requirement that contractors use E-verify.
The House version of the bill did include a
requirement that only companies that use
E-verify would be eligible to compete for
projects funded under the bill.
There is also a
long chart attached that details about $140
billion in construction spending in the
bill. Much of the money will be distributed
to state governments to be spent.
Unfortunately the bill did not make the
significant commitment to school
construction that AGC had advocated. School
renovation, modernization and repairs will
be eligible to compete for a portion of an
$8.8 billion pot of money that will be
distributed to the Governors and designated
for education, safety and other critical
services.
We are also
adding information to our Economic Stimulus
website
www.agc.org/stimulus on funding for
programs that are distributed through a
formula. There may be a lag on some of that
information as the analysis of the bill is
still being done.
Congress Wraps Up Stimulus
Package
February 12, 2009
While Congress has not yet voted on the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,
House and Senate negotiators have released
details of the plan and expect a vote before
the weekend. All reports indicate
significant infrastructure investment, as
outlined in the AGC summary of
infrastructure and public building
investment provisions.
Highlights
include $4.6 billion for the Corps of
Engineers; $1.2 billion for the VA hospital
and medical facility construction and
improvements; $3.1 billion for repair,
restoration and improvement of public
facilities; $4.2 billion for facilities
sustainment, restoration and modernization;
$2.33 billion for Department of Defense
Facilities; $1 billion for the Bureau of
Reclamation; $48 billion for transportation
infrastructure; $14.5 billion for
environmental clean-up and clean water
programs; $39.5 billion to local school
districts for modernization or other
purposes; and $4.5 billion for increased
energy efficiency in federal buildings. AGC
will alert all members as soon as more
information is available. In addition,
www.agc.org/stimulus is updated
regularly with stimulus news and AGC’s
efforts related to the bill.
Thanks to a
strong grassroots effort nationwide, AGC of
America, AGC’s nationwide network of
Chapters and members can be proud that
combined efforts resulted in a bill that
will bring work and jobs back to the
construction industry.
AGC committed
thousands of hours over the last several
months to advocating for investment in
infrastructure and public buildings. AGC
submitted written and oral testimony to six
Congressional hearings and delivered four
letters to Capitol Hill on behalf of member
companies advocating for investment in
infrastructure and public buildings. In
addition, activity on AGC’s legislative
action center was unprecedented, ultimately
sending 12,000 letters to Senators and
Representatives in support of the stimulus
plan while countless phone calls were made
to Congressional offices. AGC and its
coalition partners stirred grassroots
efforts with five new advertisements and
significant media coverage, and AGC’s
petition for investment now includes more
than 3,000 supporters.
AGC Presents
Podcast on Details of Recovery Plan,
Requests Member Help
AGC created a
30-minute podcast February 2 to update
members on the status of the stimulus plan
then circulating on Capitol Hill and urged
members to contact their Senators in support
for infrastructure investment as part of the
stimulus plan. Visit
www.agc.org/stimulus.
AGC of
America: Working for You
In January
alone, members of AGC benefited from three
free webinars and thousands of man and woman
hours working in support of infrastructure
investment in the pending stimulus plan.
Two webinars,
For CEOs Only: Where Do I Turn for Answers
in Tough Times? and Have We Hit Bottom?,
were designed to help members cope with the
economic downturn. Last week’s webinar,
Understanding the New FAR Requirements for
Mandatory Disclosure and Stronger Compliance
Programs, provided detailed analysis of the
federal government’s new Mandatory
Disclosure Rule for federal contractors.
Simonson Says: Looking
for a Turnaround
February 12, 2009
Will February
mark the low point in the economic cycle?
Assuming President Obama signs the tax and
spending relief package this month, and
Treasury goes ahead with further banking and
credit measures announced by Secretary
Geithner on February 10, the economy will
soon begin getting a strong double dose of
stimulants.
The fiscal
stimulus should start flowing quite
promptly. Within weeks, taxpayers will
receive reductions in withholding,
unemployment checks will be boosted, and
individuals unemployed for more than six
months will keep receiving checks longer.
Meanwhile, consumers are already receiving
the equivalent of hefty tax cuts through
drops in interest rates and in gasoline,
heating and other prices. The combination of
these governmental and market changes may
end the spending strike that has kept retail
sales tumbling for three months. Already,
the National Association of Realtors
reported that its index of pending home
sales—houses under contract but not yet
closed—improved in January. That should
translate into higher home sales in March,
followed by a revival of housing-related
purchases.
Within a few
weeks of enactment of the stimulus bill, the
Federal Highway Administration and other
agencies will notify state and local
governments how much they will be eligible
for under various infrastructure stimulus
programs. Direct federal spending on
construction will also begin to pick up.
The rise in
stimulus-induced construction will not be
enough at first to offset the sharp cutbacks
states are undertaking now to balance their
budgets during the current fiscal year. But
by the third quarter, public construction
spending may level off.
The stimulus
bill will also help some categories of
private construction, such as power, perhaps
communications, and residential improvements
(for energy efficiency). And tax incentives
in the bill may help get private development
off (or into) the ground in
high-unemployment “recovery zones.”
But much private
construction, as well as bond-funded public
construction, will depend on the success of
the Federal Reserve, Treasury and other
financial agencies in restoring the banking
and credit systems. The timing for that
breakthrough remains uncertain.
The media,
policy makers from both parties, and
economists will be watching closely for
signs of a turnaround. You can help identify
it. Send examples of either improvement in
the demand for construction and availability
of credit, or continued contraction, to
simonsonk@agc.org.
Construction Job-Loss Figures
Underscore Urgency of Stimulus, AGC Economist
Says
February 6, 2009
“Today’s report on
job losses underscores the urgency of
implementing a job-boosting economic stimulus
package focused on infrastructure,” said Ken
Simonson, chief economist for The Associated
General Contractors of America. Simonson
commented on the January employment data from
the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“It is tragic that
3,500,000 jobs have disappeared in the past 12
months and the unemployment rate has climbed to
8.5 percent before seasonal adjustment, or 7.6
percent, seasonally adjusted,” Simonson stated.
“Construction workers have suffered far more
than their share of that pain, accounting for
747,000—or more than one-fifth—of the job cuts
and an unemployment rate of 18.2 percent in
January, not seasonally adjusted.”
Simonson pointed out
that the job destruction is no longer confined
to homebuilding. “In the past 12 months,
nonresidential builders and specialty trade
contractors, along with heavy and civil
engineering construction firms, have had to lay
off 309,000 workers, or nearly 7 percent of
their workforce. Many of these workers would be
re-employed within weeks if Congress passes a
stimulus bill with at least $150 billion of
construction spending.”
$10 Billion Over Two Years
Needed for Flood Control, Navigation, Ports,
Locks and Dams
Coalition Announces
Support for Landrieu’s Senate Stimulus Amendment
February 4, 2009
A group of 128
organizations today announced their support for
a proposed amendment to the Senate stimulus
package that would provide almost $10 billion
over the next two years for vital new
navigation, flood control, and lock and dam
projects nationwide. Led by the Water Resources
Coalition, the group says its members are taking
a range of steps to help support the passage of
the amendment, authored by Louisiana Senator
Mary Landrieu.
“Modern waterways
are vital to a healthy water supply, efficient
goods movement, reliable flood control, clean
electric power, and safe recreation,” said
Patrick J. Natale, P.E., F.ASCE, the executive
director of the American Society of Civil
Engineers. “Making this kind of investment now
will go a long way in protecting public health,
safety and welfare, and in shoring up the
ability of these systems to support our
economy.”
The broad range of
groups, who announced their support for the
amendment in a letter to the Senate leadership
today, said the amendment was needed to counter
years of underinvestment in the nation’s
waterways, ports and drinking water systems.
They committed to working with Senator Landrieu
and her colleagues to help win passage for the
amendment.
The group noted, for
example, that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
has already identified $12 billion worth of
ready-to-go water projects and the Association
of State Dam Safety Officials has estimated that
$50 billion is needed to rehabilitate dams
across the nation. In addition, the group also
noted that the Environmental Protection Agency
has estimated that $535 billion is needed to
modernize drinking and wastewater facilities
nationwide.
“We’re committed to
ensuring that the nation’s neglected water
infrastructure receives the level of support
experts have long called for,” said Stephen
Sandherr, chief executive officer of the
Associated General Contractors of America. “We
have a unique opportunity to put people to work,
stimulate new economic activity and leave a
legacy of healthy families, strong communities
and growing commerce.”

House Passes Stimulus
Package–Senate Likely to Vote Next Week
January 28, 2009
The House by a vote
of 244 to 188 passed the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009, better known as the
Stimulus Package. The bill now goes to the
Senate, which is expected to take up its version
next week. The Senate version differs from the
House version significantly, most notably by
including a one-year AMT patch. AGC members were
at the forefront of this legislative struggle,
sending almost 10,000 letters, delivering a
petition signed by over 3,000 supporters and
making an unknown number of phone calls in
support of this legislation. The package
includes significant funding for all of the
major construction markets, in most cases
exceeding yearly appropriations as compared to
FY ’08. The funds generally have to be obligated
in 180 days, with unobligated funds reprogrammed
by their disbursing agencies. Similar provisions
apply to funds not spent in 2 years, with any
unspent funds being reprogrammed by disbursing
agencies.
The debate now
shifts to the Senate. We strongly urge you to
reach out to your employees, your suppliers,
your subcontractors and your local government
and business community leaders to ask them use
the tools on the AGC website to contact your
Senators. Visit
AGC of America's economic stimulus information
page.
Highlights of the
Stimulus Package:
-
Highway and Transportation Infrastructure
Funding: Over $43 billion for
transportation infrastructure, including:
$30 billion for bridge and highway funding,
to be distributed by existing formulas, with
a portion of the funds within each state
being suballocated by population areas; $9
billion for transit funding, with new
construction being distributed on a
discretionary basis, and upgrades, repair,
and other assistance being distributed
according to existing formula; and $3
billion for Airport Improvement Grants,
distributed on a discretionary basis.
-
Building Infrastructure Funding:
Approximately $55 billion in Building
Infrastructure, including: $6.7 billion for
GSA buildings, $8.5 billion for Military
Construction, and $1 billion for VA
Construction– all distributed at the
discretion of the particular federal agency
of jurisdiction. This also includes $20
billion for k-12 School and Higher Ed
Construction, distributed by Title I
formulas (for K-12) and by a new formula
(for Higher Ed).
-
Water Infrastructure: More than $15
billion for Water Infrastructure, including
$6 billion for the Clean Water State
Revolving Fund, $2 billion for the Drinking
Water State Revolving Fund, and $1.5 billion
specifically set aside for Rural Water and
Waste Disposal projects. Water Resources
construction also includes $4.5 billion for
the Corps of Engineers, and $500 million for
the Bureau of Reclamation.
-
Tax Provisions:
Permanent repeal of
3% withholding tax on government
contractors, extension of increased small
business expensing, extension of the
depreciation bonus, a 5-year carry-back of
net operating losses, long term extension
and modification of the renewable energy tax
production credit, a tax credit bond option
for state and local governments, and
numerous bonding provisions for energy and
schools.
Other Provisions
in the Bill
-
Davis-Bacon Requirements:
Any
projects funded directly by or assisted in
whole or in part by and through the Federal
Government will have Davis-Bacon wage
requirements. In addition, the bill calls
for the application of Davis-Bacon to any
projects funded by tax bonds.
-
Buy American:
The House bill mandates
that iron and steel used in construction and
repair projects funded under the bill be
produced in the United States unless found
to be prohibitively expensive (by increasing
the cost of the project by 25 percent).
-
Federal Contracting Requirements:
The
Federal Acquisition Regulation shall apply
to contracts awarded with funds in the Act
where pre-existing contracting regulations
do not exist. Contracts are encouraged to be
awarded as fixed-price contracts through the
use of competitive procedures. Existing
contracts already awarded may be utilized in
order to obligate such funds expeditiously
(such as multiple award contracts). Any
contract awarded with such funds that is not
fixed-price and not awarded using
competitive procedures shall be posted in a
special section of the website
www.Recovery.gov.
-
E-Verify:
The House bill mandates the
use of the “E-Verify” electronic
verification system for all businesses
receiving funds derived from the stimulus.
This would be both direct federal and
federal-aid projects. Efforts are underway
to get this provision removed from the final
bill. The Senate may consider an amendment
that would create a more expansive E-Verify
requirement. This remains a moving target
which will likely be addressed in
conference.

Message from Stephen Sandherr, AGC of
America chief executive officer
Letter to Former Labor
Secretary Robert Reich Regarding Construction
As some of you may
have seen, former Labor Secretary Robert Reich
recently testified at a Congressional hearing
hosted by Congressman Charlie Rangel, and later
made the same comments on his personal blog,
that funding infrastructure projects as part of
the stimulus would merely put “white men” to
work. As a result, he is calling for the
establish of racial hiring quotas for any
company involved in stimulus related work.
I have sent a letter
to Secretary Reich outlining the current
significant diversity of the construction
workforce and explaining the many steps being
taken by the nation’s construction companies to
continue to maintain a diverse workforce. I have
asked Secretary Reich to renounce his inaccurate
characterizations of the construction workforce
and his calls for new racial quotas.

AGCA Stimulus Update
January 23, 2009
This week the
House Appropriations Committee and House
Ways and Means Committee approved their
portions of the $825 billion economic
recovery bill, clearing the measure for full
House consideration. The House Rules
Committee is preparing the final bill for
floor consideration, and we expect debate on
the bill to begin early next week with a
vote on final passage by mid-week in the
House.
The Senate
Finance Committee today released details of
its $275 billion tax package. The Senate
Appropriations Committee is reportedly
finalizing details on its package for
release early next week. Both committees are
expected to consider their packages on
Tuesday with possible floor consideration in
the Senate beginning later next week. Both
the House and Senate are working to complete
the bill and present to President Obama by
February 13.
As the House
prepares for floor consideration and the
Senate begins committee deliberations, we
need all our chapters and members to contact
your Representative and Senators and urge
them to support the bill. We will be
contacting the entire membership on Monday
with a call to action in support of the
stimulus package. For information on the
economic stimulus proposals before Congress
and to contact your members of Congress,
please visit AGC’s on-line resources on the
Legislative Action Center.
There is also
time to sign AGC’s petition to show your
support of the economic stimulus
www.agc.org/letsbuild. To date, AGC has
generated over 11,000 letters and
petitioners.
AGC has a number
of other efforts to promoted the economic
stimulus package before Congress. More
information will be available next week.
See the
following charts for summaries of the
infrastructure investment and tax provisions
in the economic stimulus proposals:
Stimulus Update: Congressional Leaders Release
Details of Stimulus Package
January 21, 2009
On January 15, the House Democratic
Leadership announced details of the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Details of
the $825 billion package were released by
the House Appropriations and Ways and Means
Committees. The total package consists of
$275 billion in economic recovery tax cuts
and $550 billion in targeted investments,
coupled with several unprecedented
accountability measures. AGC estimates that
approximately $150 billion of the spending
proposed in this bill would benefit the
construction industry
Congressional Committees will take up the
bill this week, with the goal of sending a
final product to the White House by
mid-February. Today, the House
Appropriations Committee will hold a markup
on provisions of the economic stimulus
package, the House Ways and Means Committee
will hold a markup on the tax provisions in
the economic stimulus package tomorrow and
the Senate Finance Committee will hold a
markup next week. Additionally, AGC has been
invited to testify before the House
Committee on Transportation Infrastructure
and Stephen Fuller, Dwight Schar Faculty
Chair and University Professor and Director,
Center for Regional Analysis, George Mason
University will testify on behalf of AGC on
how infrastructure investments will help
create or support over 1.85 million jobs in
less than two years. His testimony also
focused on a study AGC commissioned that
estimates that every $1 billion invested in
infrastructure projects would create or
sustain over 28,500 new direct and indirect
jobs. Each billion invested would add about
$3.4 billion to the Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) as it ripples through the economy and
about $1.1 billion to personal earnings.
AGC is continuing to meet with House and
Senate leaders to increase the proposed
investments in infrastructure in the draft
package and enact the bill as soon as
possible.
Stimulus
Funding:
In many instances, funds would be
distributed through existing formulas. How
funds are spent, all announcements of
contract and grant competitions and awards,
and formula grant allocations must be posted
on an open government web site. Governors,
mayors or others making funding decisions
must personally certify that the investment
has been fully vetted and is an appropriate
use of taxpayer dollars. A Recovery Act
Accountability and Transparency Board would
also be created to review management of
recovery dollars and provide early warning
of problems. Federal and state
whistleblowers who report fraud and abuse
are protected. Finally, there are no
earmarks in this package.
Stimulus Tax
Provisions:
The House Ways and Means Committee’s $275
billion tax package would provide tax,
health and other benefits to American
families, as well as incentives for
businesses to grow and create jobs.
Highlights in the package benefiting the
construction industry include:
-
Full repeal
of the 3 percent withholding law
-
Bonus
depreciation
-
5-year
carry-back of net operating losses
-
Extension of
increased small business expensing
-
Repeal AMT
limits on new private activity bonds
-
School
construction bonds
-
Remove
repayment requirement on $7,500
first-time homebuyer credit
-
Tax exempt
and tax credit bonds to “recovery zones”
(i.e., areas of high unemployment,
foreclosures or poverty)
-
Various
energy efficiency tax incentives and
bonds
AGC Press
Statement:
Last week, AGC’s CEO Stephen Sandherr
released a statement indicating that the
newly released details of the proposed
stimulus package provide encouraging signs
that Congress is willing to make
significant, but essential, investments
needed to rebuild our aging infrastructure
and inefficient public buildings while
repairing America’s ailing economy. However,
he pointed out that in an environment where
almost 900,000 construction workers have
lost their jobs, the construction community
has the capacity to do even more work than
is currently being considered.

Economic Stimulus Package Still in the Works
January 12, 2009
The American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus
package is still being assembled and
different groups are continuing to pop up
asking for a piece of the pie. The goals of
the program are to ensure that all elements
are Targeted, Timely and Temporary.
Importantly, there would be no state match
required for these funds. Senior
Congressional Leadership and the Senior
Transition Officials continue to meet on the
size of the program, the various elements of
the plan and the process for getting the
money out.
What has been
reported are general agreements. But nothing
is final yet and a draft bill will not be
available until late this week at the
earliest. There is still concern in some
parts that construction will be slow to
spend. That is where we need help from you
and your members. If you or your members
foresee impediment to quick implementation
of this funding (permitting, paperwork,
etc…) please email Jeff Shoaf at
shoafj@agc.org. We are trying to remove
any barriers to the quick utilization of
this funding. Specific earmark projects are
opposed by Obama but loved by Congress.
Please
communicate to Congress (using
www.agc.org/lac) and state and local
governments please let them know what types
of projects AGC members in your area can get
underway quickly. Let them know we have
labor and materials ready and urge them to
do anything they can to expedite the
paperwork. Make sure that good projects that
are ready to go should be funded and not
rebid.
AGC of America
is working to unite building, highway, and
water groups to talk about the stimulus we
can deliver. As far as the mix of funding it
is still fluid. We are pushing for as much
stimulus as possible to vertical and
horizontal construction using as many
existing programs as possible to aide quick
stimulus.
Here is our
estimate of what will be included in the
package as of today:
-
Tax
provisions $300–350 billion (including
expensing, net operating loss carry
back, etc.)
-
Aid to
states $100–200 billion
-
Medicaid
Reimbursement $100 billion
-
Unemployment
Insurance and Food Stamps $7–10 billion
-
Defense
Projects $10 billion
-
Military
Construction $20 billion
-
Infrastructure and Public Buildings
$75–125 billion
-
Infrastructure Bank $60 billion
The goal is to create and or sustain 3
million jobs. The Democrats are committed to
getting the bill finished by mid-February.
Infrastructure
has been used to describe traditional public
works like public buildings repairs and
construction, school construction, highways,
bridges, transit, drinking water systems,
waste water systems as well as non
traditional infrastructure like health IT
and broadband in rural areas.
Programs will
likely be administered through existing
programs such as public buildings through
GSA, schools through the Department of
Education and highway and transit funds by
existing formula to be administered by state
DOTs and local authorities.
The
infrastructure bank being considered would
likely be similar to the National
Infrastructure Bank that Obama sponsored
while in the Senate. It was designed to
expand and enhance funding for qualified
transit, public housing, water, highway,
bridge, or road infrastructure projects for
loans, loan guarantees, and other financial
assistance. It will issue general purpose
and project-based infrastructure bonds
exempt from state and local taxation. The
Bank will receive an infusion of federal
money that would be leverage to provide $60
billion in spending over the next 10 years.
AGC continues to
press Congress to enact an economic recovery
package with infrastructure investment as
soon as possible to prevent further job
losses in the industry and to create
additional job opportunities for contractors
and their workers.

Infrastructure Coalition
Sends Letters, Begins Media Campaign
January 12, 2009
A coalition of
organizations in the building design and
construction industry sent two letters two
congress and the President-elect last week.
The first letter focused on including
infrastructure investment in a stimulus and
the identified needs in the different
building markets. The coalition also sent a
letter of tax incentives that would
stimulate the economy, improve energy
efficiency, and create job opportunities in
a stimulus package.
To view the
letters or to view the broad based
originations in the building design and
construction industry that signed the
letters follow the links:
Tax Letter,
Infrastructure Letter.
In addition, the
coalition will be placing advertisements in
Roll Call, the widest read publication on
Capitol Hill by policy makers.
If you have any
questions please contact Jeff Shoaf at
shoafj@agc.org.
