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.

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors.
