“Sequestration,” if it goes
into effect on January 2,
2013, will impact how the
Federal Government operates
and may impact existing
and
future
construction
and

contracting.
Sequestration is designed to cut spending on many levels
and will have a significant impact on national defense,
domestic investments and principal government services.
The jury is still out on its total impact on construction, but
it is anticipated to have a significant influence on existing
contracts and on future Federal construction contracts. So,
let’s take a long look at the background and the impacts of
Sequestration, what we believe will happen, and what you
can do to protect your interests. more...

increases has been seen by some as unlikely before the
first of the New Year. Some members of Congress were
waiting to see who is elected President to make any
comments or take action. Now that the election is over
and Barack Obama has won a second term, members of
Congress are going to have to move fast.
What is the overall size of the scheduled cut backs in
federal spending?
If Sequestration occurs, $55 billion would be cut from
defense spending in 2013 and an equal amount would
be cut from non-defense spending. It is estimated that
such cuts would decrease defense spending by up to
15%. Although certain “mandatory” spending programs,
such as Social Security, Medicaid, Food Stamps, Veterans’
benefits and Federal retirement benefits are exempt
and reductions in Medicare payments, Community and
Immigrant Health and Indian Health Services are limited
to 2%, it is estimated that the total cut in non-defense
discretionary programs will approximately 9%.
determining the percentage of cuts to be applied to
defense and non-defense programs, has started, or very
soon will start issuing apportionments to each affected
agency. This is a move that will preclude the affected
agency from spending more than OMB has allotted to it.
Knowing this, a few federal agencies have already asked
OMB to release an account-by-account analysis of the cuts
so they can start analyzing how the funding cuts will impact
employee
jobs,
contracts, operations
and maintenance and
research.
What is the
anticipated
impact of
Sequestration on holders of existing federal
contracts and grants and other appropriations?
•
Traditional federal contracts for construction as
well as other goods and services. Under traditional
federal contracts, agencies, faced with what amounts
to a depleted checking account, can legitimately
exercise the authority contained in those contracts
to reduce the scope of the contract. In other words,
they will attempt to temporarily suspend, stretchout, or reduce required contract performance or even
terminate contracts. (Note: Most of these actions
would require the government to provide some
compensation to the contractor in the form of an
equitable adjustment.)
•
Federal grants, cooperative agreements, direct
payment programs and non-procurement type
federal contracts (and instances involving outright
failure to pay amounts due). In contrast to traditional
federal procurement contracts, there are many grants,
cooperative agreements, direct payment programs,
and non-traditional contracts. As Federal agencies
cut back on payments because of the reductions in
relevant appropriation accounts, many contracts
may not be continued. If this happens, the noncontinuance of the contract will simply constitute a
breach for which the government will be liable. The
same is also true where an agency refuses to pay for
services already rendered or the agency fails to pay
or makes non-equitable adjustments simply because
there is no more money in the account. This also
constitutes a breach of contract.
Cuts will come both from mandatory (entitlement)
programs and discretionary programs. It is estimated that
about $16 billion of the $55 billion to be cut from nondefense spending will come from the many mandatory
spending programs. In comparison, since mandatory
spending makes up less than 1% of all Department of
Defense spending, almost all of the cuts in defense
spending will take place in discretionary programs which
includes new construction.
How will Sequestration be accomplished?
For FY 2013, Sequestration will be accomplished through
an across-the-board, proportional reduction in the funding
provided for each non-exempt discretionary program.
In 2014, and future years, the various Congressional
Appropriation Committees will decide how to live within
the limits established for overall defense spending. In
the 10-year period, Medicare providers will continue to
receive 98 cents on the dollar while the remaining amount
of the $55 billion in required annual non-defense cuts
will be applied proportionally to (1) other non-exempt
mandatory spending programs and (2) overall nondefense discretionary funding.
When will the details of the Sequestration become
available?
The first sign of the Sequestration has already started.

PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST THE POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF SEQUESTRATION (Cont)
This sounds complicated, but it is not. In the rush to
“cut spending,” Congress, as it is sometimes likely to do,
loses sight of the fact that, by not providing sufficient
money to an agency, it prevents the agency from
making any further payments to construction managers,
contractors, architects and engineers under on-going
contracts.
Please note that these valid obligations
of the federal government will remain enforceable in
the courts. The principle that lack of funding does not
void a valid underlying obligation is not only a longstanding one in appropriation law, but it is one that has
recently been reaffirmed by the Supreme Court. In the
process, the Court has also made it clear that professing
to make the government’s payment obligation “subject
to the availability of appropriation” as many contracts
do, does not void the government’s obligation to make
full payment because at some point during the contract
period the appropriation funds have been exhausted or
terminated.
Consequently, some grantees, direct payment recipients,
holders of co-operative agreements and non-traditional
federal contracts, etc. will be able to take the federal
government to court and recoup money improperly
denied them as a result of the Sequestration.
The effect of Sequestration on companies having
contracts with grantees who's funding has been cut.
Grantees’, including those local and state governments,
receiving federal funds for large mass-transit projects
and other large infrastructure projects, may be able
through litigation; to recoup money improperly denied
them by Sequestration. The rights and responsibilities of
companies contracting with those grantees are going to
be governed by the terms of the companies’ contracts with
the grantees as supplemented by state law. In this regard,
it is possible that in the face of a substantial cutback in
funding due to the Sequestration, the grantee could
assert that it has been absolved of any duty to continue
performance under the
contract, i.e., that such
performance has been
made
impracticable
by
the
occurrence
of a contingency (a
substantial cutback in
funding
due
to
Sequestration), the occurrence of which, was a basic
assumption of the contract. Such a defense, if successful,
could leave the contractor high and dry.
The effect of Sequestration on future construction
contracts. Due to reduced spending, it is anticipated
that as agencies cut programs, there will be fewer federal
construction and design contracts each year during the
Sequestration period. It is also anticipated that the number
of construction contracts awarded by state and local
entities normally funded in whole or in part with federal
funds is also expected to decline. In this environment,
competition between construction managers, architects,
engineers and contractors will increase as there will be
fewer contracts for all the professional service providers to
pursue. It is also anticipated that the filing of protests by
unsuccessful bidders will also increase. Additionally, the
type of contracts used by the federal government is likely
to change, i.e., the percentage of cost-reimbursement and
time and material contracts are likely to decrease while the
use of fixed-price contracts such as CM at Risk and Design/
Build contracts are likely to increase. Furthermore, in
best value procurements, prospective contractors should
expect a greater emphasis on price as a major selection
criterion and not purely on Qualification-Based Selection
(QBS). It is anticipated that federal agencies may be less
inclined to find that higher technically scored/higher cost
offerors are worth the increased cost and opt, instead, to
make awards to lower scored/lower cost offerors. We all
know that contracts secured on the lowest price are not
the best way to select construction managers, contractors,
architects or engineers.
What we believe will happen.
The prospect of sequestration is so catastrophic; we
feel Congress will not let it happen. No matter how
polarized the Republicans and Democrats are right now,
we anticipate Congress doing what they have done in the
past, simply raise the Budget Resolution spending caps,
reduce spending in some programs and hopefully work
together to more closely match what has already been
appropriated with anticipated tax revenues.
What can you do to protect your interests?
There are a number of strategies you can incorporate to
prepare for the possible Sequestration process. A few
include:
1. If you have an on-going Open-End or IDIQ contract
with the Federal government, review your contract
or have your attorney review your contract to assess
your risk and prepare a game plan in the event the
funding for your contract is reduced or terminated. In
other words, be prepared.
2. Also, if you have an on-going federal contract,

immediately prepare and submit invoices for work
already performed to get paid or at least get in the
payment loop. Make sure every single cost element is
supported by documentation. Review your indirect
cost calculations to be certain they are accurate and
current. You must have a defensible, auditable paper
trail. Be sure to secure copies of missing documents
from vendors. Be sure to write a memo-to-file
explaining why cost(s) are reasonable if you think a
Board or Court might not understand the reason for it.
Be sure your unallowable costs are properly recorded.
Also, work with your attorney to prepare plans to
avoid such deletions of work, either by persuasion,
litigation, or negotiation of terms to help maximize
your recovery and minimize liability.
Perform a payroll audit to be certain employees are
paid according to the Service Contract Act (“SCA”)
or the Davis-Bacon Act (“DBA”) Wage Determination,
as applicable, and to ensure that the correct labor
costs are charged to contracts. Also, perform a labor
compliance review to ensure that the classifications
under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) are
correct, and that all employees are paid properly
under the Act. Be certain that your reports, such as
EEO-1 and VETS-100, have been correctly filed. If any
employees are to be furloughed, ensure that the
terminations are executed objectively, and access to
COBRA rights are preserved. Ensure actions under the
FMLA are processed correctly.
Be absolutely certain that all of your proposal, contract,
contract modifications, order, and correspondence
files are current and nothing is missing. You should
maintain a central “legal” file with original signatures.
Work to ensure that all original paper documents are
stored in a locked cabinet, or electronic files stored on
a protected server.
You should consider conducting an operations audit
to ensure all services are performed according to
the terms and conditions and statement of work or
specifications of the contract. All delivery schedules
in the contract should be completed or in progress.
Be certain that the company code of conduct is
current and training is conducted. Also, ensure that
all required reports are or have been submitted in a
timely fashion.
If you plan to submit a request for equitable
adjustment (“REA”), or a formal claim, or a termination
for convenience settlement proposal, then you need
verifiable, documented evidence to support your
demands. You should do everything possible to
recover all your costs in the event that one or more
of your contracts with the federal government is
terminated, but to do so, you must have supporting
evidence for every penny claimed and what work
was in-progress that was stopped by a stop work
order. If the government fails to exercise an option,
there is nothing you can do unless some extenuating
circumstance would permit a protest.
7. On new contracts, try to obtain full funding on your
contracts and task or delivery order, at least for
Government Fiscal Year 2013, and preferably for the
entire contract, particularly for fixed price contracts.
If possible, accelerate the exercise of options. Also,
try to accelerate deliveries before the end of calendar
year 2013 without incurring additional cost in order
to receive payments earlier and to enhance cash flow.
8. Also, you need to know the type of changes clause
in each contract. This is very important. Additionally,
although FAR Subpart 49.201 generally governs
terminations, you should know how the termination
clause reads in your contract. Furthermore, you
should perform a program review with your program
and project manager(s) for all contracts to ensure that
there is no basis for a default termination from the
government.
I recommend finding a good Federal Construction Law
attorney to review your contracts. I hope all this helps
you to prepare for the possible ramifications if the
Sequestration process is initiated on January 2, 2013.
Personally, I am optimistic, now that the elections are
over, our leaders in Washington can get past the politics
and start developing responsible solutions that will help
us all get back to work.

FEATURE PROJECT: McCamish Pavilion
Georgia Tech Basketball Arena
McCamish Pavilion, named after Henry F. McCamish Jr. is a 8,600 seat, $50M
collegiate basketball arena built on the site of the old Alexander Memorial
Coliseum on the campus of Georgia Tech. The construction of McCamish Pavilion
was accomplished while leaving the original dome steel support members of
Alexander Memorial Coliseum in place; and they are the only part of the
original structure that remains.
The state of the art new arena was designed
by Populous, Inc and built by The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company.
Building
features include a 30,000 SF expanded
concourse, with 1st class concessions, bathrooms, and
other fan amenities. The seating bowl was rebuilt to
provide better site-lines, wider seats, more leg room, codecompliant aisles, risers and treads. The new seating bowl
also includes a state-of-the-art center hung scoreboard, a
360 degree ribbon board around the perimeter of a new
2,000 seat upper deck, a new sound system, and theatrical
lighting of the competition floor.
The new design incorporates a spectacular grand
entrance for fans to enter the building, creating a sense
of pageantry and excitement as well as serving as a
better means of access control to the facility and ticket
collection for Georgia Tech. The facility’s MEP systems
have been completely replaced with new highly efficient
systems, and the project is slatted to achieve LEED Gold
certification.

FEATURE PROJECT: McCamish Pavilion
The seating bowl was rebuilt to provide better site-lines,
wider seats, more leg room, code-compliant aisles, risers
and treads.
The original structure was built in 1955 and had
undergone 3 renovations prior to the current
undertaking. None of these previous renovations were
as substantial, and were merely “facelifts” along the way.
Whiting-Turner was the design builder on the project
and hired Populous, Inc out of Kansas City to lead the
design effort. The design phase started in April of 2010
and construction started in May of 2011. The building
obtained a certificate of
occupancy on August 24,
2012 (six week ahead of
the contractual schedule).
Georgia Tech played their
1st game in the new arena
on November 9, 2012.
The project was very
challenging on many
fronts, but by far one of
the most challenging
components
of
the
project were the logistics of building a completely new
lower bowl and upper deck inside an existing domed
structure. The new scope called for the addition of a
2,000 seat upper deck which was constructed of 300+
tons of new structural steel built on top of new micro-pile
foundations that went 40+ feet deep to bedrock. This
upper deck was constructed inside the existing dome
with all the existing roof members intact. In addition to
the new upper deck, WT also removed about 6,000 CYD’s
of concrete from the lower bowl and completely re-
shaped and re-poured a new concrete lower bowl with
much improved sign lines and updated ADA access. To
manage these operations, WT built a temporary concrete
access ramp to get all the materials, cranes, and steel into
the bottom of the seating bowl and used the old slab
that the old court floor was on as a working platform for
all the operations. This slab was approximately 6,000 SF
and was the center of the steel and concrete operations
for several months. In addition, there was an active
dewatering
system
4’ below the slab we
were staging all our
operations on. This
dewatering
system
had to be maintained
24 hours a day and
eventually
some
of it was moved to
incorporate the new
design. The design
also called for about
5,000 SF of space to
house locker rooms, bathrooms, and goal storage at the
event level. In order to create this space WT designed
and built a 35’ tall by 100’ long soil nailed retaining wall
which served as the permanent structure to form this
space.
Georgia Tech was extremely pleased with the outcome
and fans have praised the new design saying, the only
thing the building needs now is a winning basketball
season!
