AGC of America is a party to an ongoing lawsuit challenging the 2024 designation of two per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as hazardous substances. The rule leaves thousands of contractors with increased uncertainty on future projects as well as jeopardy for extensive Superfund cleanup costs for contamination they did not cause.
AGC initiated the lawsuit after the Biden administration took a novel approach to designate Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS) as hazardous substances. AGC maintains that EPA did not properly account for the cost on the construction industry or other passive receivers (entities that did not manufacture the chemicals yet must manage them within their sites or facilities such as wastewater treatment plants). The concern for contractors is two-fold: 1) no compliance path to manage PFAS on projects and 2) contractors may have unknowingly interacted with the chemical in dirt or groundwater on projects throughout their company’s operations. The chemicals were widely used for several decades. Trace amounts can even be found on sites without a history of development.
Looking forward, the construction and development industries have no good, clear way to manage these risks. Instead the risk is often shifted to contractors. Some members have chosen to walk away from projects due to the potential liability or face handling increased testing, trucking, and disposal costs with no clear risk-sharing mechanisms.
In meetings with EPA, AGC identified other, more effective approaches to clean up legacy PFOA and PFOS. We will continue to update members on litigation efforts as well as regulatory developments.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
On Sept. 10, the Department of Defense (DoD) released the<a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/09/10/2025-17359/defense-federal-acquisition-regulation-supplement-assessing-contractor-implementation-of">final regulation</a> that requires <a href="https://dodcio.defense.gov/cmmc/About/">Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification </a>(CMMC) compliance for every DoD prime and subcontractor. The regulation will go into effect on November 10, 2025.
The DoD is implementing the CMMC requirements over four phases, starting with the inclusion of CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 Self-Assessment requirements in all applicable DoD solicitations. Most AGC members will fall under Level 1 or 2, and contractors should expect to see the CMMC clause in their contracts in the coming months. CMMC Level 3 requirements are expected to come into being in one year. The full rollout, which will see CMMC program requirements included in all applicable solicitations and contracts, is expected to continue through 2028.
AGC has long communicated the difficulty many contractors and their subcontractors have had implementing these cybersecurity requirements under the CMMC model. AGC commented many times on CMMC as it was developed and will continue to provide education to its members now that the program is in effect. AGC recently hosted a <a href="https://agcofamerica.zoom.us/rec/play/Ib5J2de8eYMHyPsQUc5CVK89VLm5-0pwnhJazhqdPTF8l6bW82FYVRRLIst1f8XOpaS-jXeagPc2cNpl.vQ_SdY-vu2ppSRae?eagerLoadZvaPages=sidemenu.billing.plan_management&accessLevel=meeting&canPlayFromShare=true&from=share_recording_detail&continueMode=true&componentName=rec-play&originRequestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fagcofamerica.zoom.us%2Frec%2Fshare%2F9MnmisfQA8TzUUezrLWCWEqwnat4blQWGacJsVrSLH5fXX7AoyrjZtp0kCtN2ZY9.uu_QfyGlxtIvn-Cs">webinar</a> about the CMMC program and how contractors can better prepare. In addition, AGC’s website provides a list of resources related to CMMC, including the CMMC’s Accreditation Body’s <a href="https://cyberab.org/Catalog#!/c/s/Results/Format/list/Page/1/Size/9/Sort/NameAscending">marketplace</a> where contractors can find Accessors and C3PAOs.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
On Sept. 10, the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure held the <a href="https://transportation.house.gov/calendar/eventsingle.aspx?EventID=409038">first hearing</a> on the Water Resources Development Act for 2026 (WRDA). At its core, the WRDA empowers the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to carry out projects that strengthen the nation’s water infrastructure, while also giving Congress a role in shaping priorities by authorizing specific Civil Works projects.
AGC submitted a <a href="http://news.agc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/AGC-STR-Water-Resources-Development-Acts-Implementation.pdf">letter for the record</a> expressing its strong opposition to the use of Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund (HMTF) dollars to build or maintain Corps-owned dredging ships, noting that private contractors can perform this work more efficiently and at lower cost. The <a href="https://appropriations.house.gov/news/press-releases/committee-approves-fy26-energy-and-water-development-appropriations-act">recently passed</a> Energy and Water Appropriations, diverting $40 million from the HMTF for a government-owned dredge, sets a troubling precedent and wastes HMTF resources that should be dedicated to their original purpose: maintaining navigation channels for safe, reliable commerce. AGC urges Congress to remove this provision and ensure the HMTF supports its intended mission rather than expanding government competition with industry.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
This week, AGC of America members from across the country convened in Washington, D.C. for the National and Chapter Leadership Conference. As part of the program, members heard from Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-Pa.), a former electrical contractor who emphasized the need for greater workforce investment and meaningful permitting reform. Building on his remarks, members went to Capitol Hill to meet directly with lawmakers and their staff to press for the industry’s top priorities.

Rob Bresnahan (R-Pa.) about his journey from electrical contractor to congressman during the National and Chapter Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C.</figcaption></figure>

These meetings gave contractors the chance to demonstrate how federal policies shape their businesses, workers, and communities. By sharing real-world experiences, AGC members put a human face on the industry’s challenges and solutions. From labor shortages and immigration reform to the rising costs tied to regulatory burdens, members underscored that smart federal action can strengthen the construction industry, create jobs, and drive economic growth.
Building the Workforce of Tomorrow
AGC members urged lawmakers to <a href="https://advocacy.agc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Workforce-Development-Aug-2025.pdf">invest in workforce education</a> by reversing the higher education bias against non-four-year degree programs, reforming the public workforce system under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), and expanding the overall talent pool. These efforts are aimed at strengthening career and technical education opportunities and ensuring that the next generation of workers can meet the industry’s growing demand for skilled labor.
Reforming Employment-Based Immigration
With workforce shortages continuing to challenge contractors nationwide, AGC members also pushed for <a href="https://advocacy.agc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Immigration-Reform-August-2025.pdf">common-sense immigration reforms</a>. Priorities included creating new temporary visas for lesser-skilled workers to address workforce needs and curb illegal immigration, ensuring the H-2B visa program remains a viable option for construction employers, and supporting the Dignity Act to both strengthen borders and modernize the immigration system.
Protecting Contractors from Unfair Risk and Liability
Another top issue was the need to shield contractors from <a href="https://advocacy.agc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Protect-from-Risk-and-Liability-August-2025.pdf">unfair costs and uncertainty</a>. AGC members highlighted reforms to the Buy America waiver process, measures to protect contractors from uncertainty around tariffs, and solutions to prevent contractors from being unfairly held liable for PFAS contamination, which is driving up costs across the industry.
AGC members also raised additional priorities with lawmakers, including the need to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure, advance environmental permitting reform, secure funding for federal construction, and invest in critical water and broadband projects. Members also expressed appreciation to Congress for preventing a tax increase on the construction industry.
By engaging directly with elected leaders, AGC members continue to ensure that the construction industry’s voice is heard in Washington, advancing policies that strengthen the workforce, reform immigration, and protect contractors from unnecessary risk.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Ryan Companies is elevating future builders</h3>
As labor shortages and a widening skills gap continue to affect the construction industry, data from a recent AGC of America workforce survey, done in partnership with NCCER, show that nearly four out of five contractors currently have one or more unfilled craft positions and two-thirds have at least one unfilled salaried positions on the books. 
However, one construction firm has found a creative and effective way to address both issues at once: pairing seasoned superintendents with younger colleagues who are learning the ropes. Adopting this approach has allowed Ryan Companies, a member of multiple AGC chapters, to not only fill critical experience gaps but also boost productivity in a mutually beneficial way. 
“Once you start getting to that retirement age, there’s not a lot of marketplace out there because people don’t want to have somebody for a couple of years and then they retire,” explained Joe Johnson, vice president of field operations at Ryan Companies. However, Johnson said that Ryan Companies has a different outlook: The company hires seasoned professionals in the twilight of their careers so those last few years can be spent pouring their knowledge and skill into the next generation.
The need for this program became apparent during the economic struggles of the early 2010s and during COVID-19, said Johnson. During both of those times, the older generation began to retire at a higher rate while the incoming workforce didn’t yet have the knowledge or skill to fill in the gap. It was clear that the industry needed to pivot. 
Johnson believes there’s value in bringing back seasoned employees who may only want to work a few more years. 
“A lot of other construction companies don’t really extend offers to people like that because they’re thinking, ‘I’m trying to build. I want somebody here for 20 years.’ But if you don’t have the person with the 20 years of knowledge to share with the person you’re trying to develop for the next 20, that program really doesn’t work. All you’re doing is putting a very inexperienced person onto the jobsite or into the office that is going to unnecessarily struggle when you could oblige those people who do want to come back into the workforce where they can drop that knowledge on all the younger individuals and then go off into retirement understanding that now they have a legacy to leave behind. We see great value in that.”
The way that the program works is simple, Johnson explained. First, the veteran leaders are placed at the head of a job as a superintendent. Next, they are paired with a newcomer to the industry. Although the veteran leader may not necessarily be present on the jobsite every day, the newcomer now has a person to call when issues arise. 
“Instead of calling 20 different people to try to find the answer, now we have someone on the job that’s probably already dealt with that exact predicament, and they’re able to instantly and quickly help that individual and then resolve the issue,” said Johnson. 
Among the advantages of this program, Johnson highlighted, is how it has shaped the culture of the company. The older generations have been able to instill a sense of pride and dedication to their craft in the younger generation. That, in turn, has helped map out effective succession plans. 
Furthermore, Johnson offers this advice: Do not dismiss an older candidate merely to save money, assuming you won’t retain them for two or three decades. 
“Everything in this industry is typically going to cost,” he pointed out. “If you solely focus on cost and don’t focus on your people and how you’re training those people and how you develop those people, you’re going to struggle. Then the cost is going to be impacted, whether you’re trying to prevent it or not. If you can control something, which is the training and advice and mentorship of your younger people with a more seasoned professional who is willing to be a leader, don’t disregard that just to say, ‘Well, I can get a younger person for cheaper, and I can keep them longer.’ It’s not the best plan for the long run for any company.”
Johnson also emphasized the importance of getting involved with AGC for their excellent variety of programs. 
“Their young leadership program is probably one of the best,” he said. “We at Ryan can teach leadership the way that we want to teach leadership, but there’s always a benefit to learning a third-party path, a different perspective. And that’s where the courses and classes and training that AGC offers is a huge benefit to any company.” 
As a younger employee just starting her career, assistant superintendent Lauren Houston has benefited greatly from Ryan Companies’ mentorship program. She was studying to be an engineer when COVID-19 interrupted her schooling, so she had to change course. When she discovered that Ryan Companies was the only firm hiring in Florida at the time, she jumped on board and never looked back. 
“Ryan Companies has been great at adapting to what [the employees] need, and they gave me an opportunity to become a superintendent, which I am very grateful for. I’ve been in that role for a few years now, and it seems like it’s the best fit for me. I love coming to work every day and I wouldn’t change a thing,” Houston said. 
Houston has been working closely with Vice President of Field Operations John Bentley, who is preparing her to take over his job one day. However, she emphasized that even though her coworkers change from jobsite to jobsite, everyone is always willing to help. 
“If you don’t know something, they’re the first ones to jump up and say, ‘This is what we do here.’ This is what Ryan is; they’re just great all around,” she said. “And it doesn’t matter who it is at Ryan,” they’re all mentors. We all mentor each other. We work together. It’s just been a great family atmosphere.” 
Houston explained that not only do the younger generations learn from the older generations, the reverse is true as well – particularly with regard to technology. “[Technology] is becoming a huge thing. And being younger, I feel like every day, they’re asking, ‘How do I do this on the computer?’ We have models now that we’re all learning from, and sometimes we have different perspectives compared to the older generation,” she said. 
Houston anticipates the opportunity to mentor others in the future, and she’s already demonstrating her mentorship abilities with new interns. 
“We have tons of interns with Ryan that are coming in each summer, and it’s something I actually enjoy,” she said. “I like to bring them along. They help me, and I help them learn about specific projects that we’re all on now that you don’t usually see every day. So I’m just letting them know that this is a learning opportunity. Let’s get out there and learn something together. You’re going to teach me something, and I’ll teach you something. And maybe I can get them on with Ryan eventually. As I get more experience and move up, I hope to continue to leave my knowledge behind from what I’ve learned from my mentors above me.”
Johnson observed that Houston is a great example of someone who has reaped the benefits of learning from several different seasoned professionals. 
“She’s probably one of the best ones that will be able to attach herself to the generation below her, teaching them and showing them the way this industry runs, the way that Ryan operates, and making them true professionals,” he said.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
The AGC Education and Research Foundation has opened nominations for the prestigious <a href="https://smr.to/p103782">Bowen Prize for Great Builders</a>, an award dedicated to celebrating the exceptional individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and hands-on execution in building America’s infrastructure. Named in honor of Bob Bowen, the prize celebrates those who leave a lasting mark on the nation’s infrastructure and the communities it serves. 
Unlike traditional awards, the Bowen Prize focuses squarely on the person with their boots on the ground-the individual who led construction execution from planning to final delivery. These are the leaders who day in and day out directed crews, solved complex challenges, and delivered high-impact infrastructure projects. 
Candidates for the Bowen Prize are individuals who exemplify fortitude, skill, and stewardship for a project’s success. This award honors not only innovation and execution but also leadership that uplifts teams and transforms the building environment. 
Eligibility and Nomination Details: 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The candidate must be the person who led the construction project to execution. </li>
<li>The project must be at least 85% complete within the 2025 calendar year. </li>
<li>Only the general contractor may nominate a candidate</li>
<li>The nomination must focus on one project and highlight the candidate’s critical role. </li>
</ul>
The winner will receive a $50,000 award directed toward construction education. The nominee will select both the organization and the specific use of the funds, further supporting the future of the construction industry. 
The final deadline for entries is Friday, October 27, 2025. Full candidate and application requirements can be found <a href="https://www.agc.org/sites/default/files/users/user3413/Bowen%20Prize%20Candidate%20Info%20and%20Rules_2026.pdf">here. </a>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
Construction Management At-Risk (CM@R) is one of the most powerful and widely used project delivery methods in today’s design and construction industry. It offers owners the opportunity to involve the contractor early, manage costs more effectively, and foster collaboration throughout the project. However, these benefits come with unique risks and contracting considerations, and ConsensusDocs has just published an updated CM At-Risk contract, the ConsensusDocs 500. 
On October 16, 2025, register for this <a href="https://app.consensusdocs.org/webinars/live-webinar-managing-the-risk-in-cm-at-risk-best-practice-considerations/">ConsensusDocs webinar</a> featuring an expert panel for a 75-minute webinar, “Managing the Risk in CM At-Risk: Best Practice Considerations.” This session will provide practical insights into maximizing the advantages of CM@R while minimizing its legal and financial pitfalls.
Participants will explore best practices and gain actionable strategies across a wide range of timely topics, including:
1. Advantages of CM@R vs. Design-Bid-Build
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Why owners choose CM@R for early contractor involvement that adds value upfront and reduces downstream change orders.</li>
<li>How communication flows differ under CM@R compared to Design-Bid-Build.</li>
<li>Whether CM@R is the right fit for owners seeking more than just a transactional relationship.</li>
</ul>
2. Preconstruction Services
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>How preconstruction services under CM@R differ from other delivery methods.</li>
<li>Should owners pay for precon services at a discount—or at full value?</li>
<li>Expanding precon’s impact with tools like design-assist, Lean contract addenda, BIM, and prefabrication.</li>
</ul>
3. Blurring the Lines Between Design and Construction
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Does CM@R erode the traditional Spearin doctrine protections for owners?</li>
<li>Case law spotlight: Coughlin Electric v. Gilbane.</li>
</ul>
4. Contingency – Clarifying Roles and Uses
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Defining different types of contingency funds and their purpose.</li>
<li>The owner’s role in approving contingency expenditures.</li>
<li>Buyout strategies, shared savings, and the contractor’s use of contingency for risk management.</li>
</ul>
5. Cost of the Work & Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Best practices for determining when to set the GMP—and whether it should function as an off-ramp.</li>
<li>Revising contract documents to ensure clarity in payment terms and GMP administration.</li>
</ul>
6. Insurance Considerations
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Should a GC secure professional liability (PL) coverage for CM@R projects?</li>
<li>Other insurance strategies to mitigate exposure.</li>
</ul>
Who Should Attend? This program is essential for owners, developers, contractors, construction managers, architects, engineers, and counsel who negotiate or manage CM@R contracts.
By the end of this session, attendees will walk away with clear, practical tools to strengthen their CM@R agreements, reduce risks, and maximize project success.

U.S. Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) toured the I-380/Penn Street modernization project in North Liberty on Friday with representatives from Streb Construction, of <a href="https://www.agcia.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AGC of Iowa</a>, and AGC of America. 
The project is expanding I-380 from four to six lanes and includes new bridge construction, concrete replacement, and asphalt surfacing. Now more than 50 percent complete, the project will improve safety and support economic growth in one of Iowa’s fastest growing regions. 
During the visit, the group viewed the work zone where a critical “lane switch” is underway, diverting traffic to newly finished lanes while older sections are removed and rebuilt. Rep. Miller-Meeks emphasized the importance of federal investment in highway infrastructure and support for Iowa’s construction workforce.
