AGC Reaches out to Federal Agencies on COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate
On September 16, AGC reached out to the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Council and other federal agencies to highlight the uniqueness of the construction industry, the many safety measures contractors have implemented throughout the pandemic, and to advocate for clear guidance on the vaccination mandate for all direct federal contractors—general contractors and subcontractors at all tiers.
The Task Force is expected to issue guidance on September 24 and the FAR Council is tasked with issuing contract clauses by October 15.
