Solid guidance on the entire spectrum -- from start to finish -- of significant problem areas encountered in the U.S. Government construction process and how to effectively manage the practical operating and legal problems.
Contracting with the Federal Government for construction has its own unique and complex rules, standards, problems, and hurdles. It is the purpose of this special program to equip industry and Government representatives with the knowledge necessary to effectively and successfully obtain, manage, and complete Government construction contracts.
The exhaustive scope of subjects analyzed by the program is set forth in the detailed Course Curriculum. Its coverage includes not only general construction matters as they relate to the Government procurement process, but the specifics of inspections and warranties, delays and acceleration, dollar recovery, changes in the work, cost and pricing data requirements, contract terminations, remedies and special problems, and more.
You will be instructed on these subjects by noted Course Faculty -- practitioners who are nationally recognized authorities on Government construction matters. In addition to their detailed lectures, each attendee will receive a comprehensive Course Manual of original materials prepared exclusively for this program.
