WEBINAR: Building a Border Wall: Opportunities, Contractual Risks, and Business Considerations
Webinar | 04.25.17, 9:00 AM EDT - 10:30 AM EDT
The Trump administration published two contract solicitations for the design-build of a “border wall” between the U.S. and Mexico, one of the earliest and oft-repeated campaign promises. The RFPs (linked here and here) contemplate a multiple-award, multiple-phase approach for acquiring prototypes and, eventually, full construction.
With contemplated billion-dollar budgets, opportunities abound for prime and subcontractors. But government contractors must also be aware of the potential contractual risks with such a unique, large-scale border project involving eminent domain, such as potential changes, delays, differing site conditions, security considerations, and funding shortfalls. There are also unique business risks, with several local governments already considering proposals to “blacklist” contractors that participate.

To reduce waste and encourage recycling, an increasing number of international, federal, and local jurisdictions are embracing extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws, which have wide-reaching compliance implications for product manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and other entities falling within the varying definitions of “producers.” EPR laws assign covered producers greater responsibility for the full lifecycle of their products and establish mandatory requirements for reporting, source reduction, and financial contributions to third-party entities, known as producer responsibility organizations. EPR requirements apply to a variety of consumer product categories, including batteries, electronics, mattresses, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and, most recently, packaging and paper products.
