But, says its project executive, it was the faces behind the impressive facts and figures, those who prioritized the community that would benefit, who made it all possible.</h3> <p><strong>BY AMY DREW THOMPSON</strong></p> <p>The adjectives and modifiers and numbers, come fast and furious as one tries to summarize the grand award-winner at this year’s Build America Awards, sponsored by The Baldwin Group: the Lynnwood Link L300 Extension.</p> <p>It is a dual-track light rail project, nearly 3.8 miles long, that meanders through three cities and two counties. It has about 2.3 miles of elevated guideway with roughly a mile and a half at grade. </p> <p>The project, which clocked in at $930 million, required about 120 staffers to support field operations, which employed up to 800 more people in the field per day at the height of the build. </p> <p>There are 37 large-scale retaining walls. It has a 1,640-car garage. And the complexity and accuracy required to build it could be described as surgical, with something like a quarter inch, plus-minus, for the profile, line and grade. </p> <p>Since it opened for use by the public on August 30, 2024, the Lynnwood Link L300 Extension has carried an average of 7,800 passengers each day, with numbers steadily climbing.</p> <p>Skanska Project Executive Thorvaldur Konradsson, an Iceland native who has called the Seattle area home for 16 years, the the has worked 15 of them for Skanska and has been a part of this project since its pursuit phase in 2015. And though he was greatly humbled when it was named the grand award winner at the 2025 Build America Awards, he didn’t hesitate when asked what he thought drove judges to choose this project over all the other worthy candidates.</p> <p>“I am absolutely convinced that what won this award was the people who par.ticipated in constructing this project,” Konradsson told <em>Constructor</em>.</p> <p>Indeed, young engineers, tradespeople and other professionals who started out green emerged seasoned as the first pas.sengers stepped onto the platform for their commutes. After a decade-plus, he says, it’s gratifying, and even a little surreal.</p> <p>“I have to admit that the first thought I had as I was walking up and down the alignment was that I wasn’t quite sure where it was going to fit,” he said, chuckling, “because it’s all very narrow.”</p> <p>They made some room, roughly 5.5 acres worth, clearing steep slopes and narrow shoulders along Interstate 5. This included the removal of many, many trees; 25,000 plants were installed in their place. But landscaping was hardly the project’s biggest challenge.</p> <p>The sequencing and planning alone were extremely difficult.</p> <p>“Access was challenging,” he said. “It required a lot of utility relocations. It required some extensive temporary construction, with retaining walls to create accesses for the large cranes that build shafts for all the foundations.”</p> <p>Four phases were planned, each with mind-blowing logistics and roughly quarter-billion-dollar budgets. Eight hundred people in the field at peak. Six hundred different permits. Four major adjacent stakeholders outside of the owner with which to coordinate. Cities. School districts. More.</p> <p>“It’s a challenge for any megaproject, but this one was exceptional in terms of the collaboration required to have all the access we needed.”</p> <p>Then there was the region’s unique geology, which threw up some unexpected and quite critical obstacles that Konradsson says tested every member of the team: “owners, designers, con.tractors, workers – everybody.”</p> <p>A soil nail wall failed.</p> <p>“We encountered what we call ‘hour.glass sand,’” Konradsson explained. “It’s very, very powdery sand … and the depth of the vertical elements in the wall were not quite sufficient.”</p> <p>As such, cracks began to form.</p> <p>The response, which was immediate and round-the-clock, required all hands-on deck to stabilize the wall and chart a new course. An initial and acute three-day impact to the project allowed them to course-correct over another three months, “but everybody had to come together and make a potentially bad situation go away very quickly.”</p> <p>It speaks to how the entire team, all its people, says Konradsson, engaged together to soar over hurdles.</p> <p>“It was a common theme on this project,” he said. “We surely didn’t go without obstacles, but the mindset, always, was, ‘Let’s keep building. If there’s a brick wall, we’ll run at it ‘til we go through.’”</p> <p>And they did.</p> <p>An undertaking such as this was always going to have issues. Every project does, he says, “and we learn lessons with everything we do … but to the owner’s credit, to the designers, to everyone’s … we define ourselves not on the issues, but on how we acted on them.”</p> <p>Through them all, and through COVID as well, Skanska and its part.ners still managed to complete a project that went nearly 10 years and nearly one billion dollars on time, and on budget.</p> <p>The two are inexorably linked.</p> <p>“We had the good fortune of having super-qualified people who knew that no problem gets better by waiting to address it,” he said. “But, at the end of the day, what drives things over budget is time.”</p> <p>Speed in decision making, a collaborative owner, solid commercial man.agement on all fronts and talented tradespeople were a collective perfect storm of efficiency, each united in their desire to please who he calls “the true end-client”: the public.</p> <p>“They’ve been waiting decades for this,” he said emphatically. “And we saw how important it was for us to deliver on our commitment. It was the overarching message we took to work with us every day.”</p> <p>A decade has passed. And part of the success of Lynnwood, says Konradsson, is that those who cut the teeth of their careers on this project all have new gigs to crush.</p> <p>“This was our first really big job in the region,” he noted.</p> <p>The northwest market was a new one for Skanska, which had pursued several projects in the region before landing this one in 2015.</p> <p>Konradsson calls it “the crown jewel.”</p> <p>“It showcased well what we’re capable of and allowed us to anchor our opera.tions up here and build to a bigger market presence.”</p> <p>Next up are two more design-builds, big ones: an $836-million interchange in the I-405 corridor and a $1.4-billion under.taking to replace the Portage Bay Bridge.</p> <p>Half the engineering team on Lynnwood movedto the formerabout a year and a half ago, he says. Several months later, the other half leapfrogged to work on the bridge.</p> <p>“The green engineers from Lynnwood are now leading segments of these new jobs.

While affirmative action obligations based on race, sex, and other Executive Order 11246 (EO 11246) categories remain nullified under a January executive order from President Trump, the agency’s July 2, 2025, announcement means it is back in business for enforcing Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 503) and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA). Here’s what your business needs to know and do.</p> <p><strong>What Just Happened?</strong></p> <p>On July 2, 2025, Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer issued a new directive (<a href="https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDOLOFCCP/bulletins/3e7c4a3">Secretary’s Order 08-2025</a>) that lifts the pause on OFCCP’s enforcement of Section 503 (disability) and VEVRAA (protected veteran) obligations. This action reverses the temporary hold put in place in January by the Acting Secretary of Labor, Vincent Micone, on January 24, 2025, in <a href="https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/OPA/newsreleases/2025/01/Secretarys-Order-03-2025.pdf">Order 03-2025</a>.</p> <p>Key actions from the new Order 08-2025 include:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>OFCCP may now resume complaint investigations involving veterans and individuals with disabilities.</li> <li>Any complaints filed or held during the abeyance will now be processed.</li> <li>OFCCP is administratively closing all open compliance reviews due to their entanglement with now-invalid EO 11246 requirements.</li> <li>OFCCP will take no further action from the November 2024 audit scheduling list.</li> <li>The AAP certification portal remains closed for now.</li> <li>The enforcement moratorium for Veterans Affairs Health Benefits Program (VAHBP) providers is extended through May 7, 2027.</li></ul> <p><strong>What’s Still Off the Table?</strong></p> <p>Despite this revived activity under Section 503 and VEVRAA, enforcement of EO 11246-related obligations – such as those tied to race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin – is still prohibited. In fact, OFCCP is pursuing rulemaking to formally rescind EO 11246 regulations and scrub cross-references to that framework from other rules.</p> <p><strong>What Employers Should Do Now: 5-Step Plan</strong></p> <p>Whether you were already slated for a compliance review or just trying to keep your obligations straight under this changing landscape, here are five immediate steps to consider:</p> <p><strong>1. Revisit Your Disability and Veteran AAPs</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Ensure you’ve maintained proper affirmative action plans for both Section 503 and VEVRAA.</li> <li>Continue following the requirements around availability analyses, goals, and self-ID data collection.</li></ul> <p><strong>2. Stay Alert for Complaint Notifications</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>If your company had any complaints filed or pending under Section 503 or VEVRAA during the pause, be prepared for possible OFCCP outreach and next steps.</li></ul> <p><strong>3. Update Compliance Protocols</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Review internal audit procedures, outreach efforts, and reasonable accommodation processes.</li> <li>Re-train compliance staff on the distinction between what is currently enforceable (Section 503 and VEVRAA) and what is not (EO 11246). (Note that other laws prohibiting employment discrimination on EO 11246 categories remain, as well as many state and local affirmative action directives, remain in place.)</li></ul> <p><strong>4. Watch for AAP Portal Updates</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Although the certification process remains paused, monitor OFCCP’s website and alerts for when the portal may re-open, and be prepared to certify promptly.</li></ul> <p><strong>5. Evaluate Risk and Consider a Self-Audit</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>If your business was on the November 2024 scheduling list, you now know you will not receive an audit letter based on that list. </li> <li>If your business had an open audit, you’ll receive a formal notice of administrative closure.</li> <li>In either circumstance, you may consider conducting a self-audit anyway to ensure continued compliance under the applicable laws.</li></ul> <p><strong>What’s Next?</strong></p> <p>OFCCP is moving quickly to strip EO 11246 regulations and references from its rules, and the White House has proposed eliminating OFCCP entirely and shifting enforcement elsewhere. <a href="https://www.fisherphillips.com/en/news-insights/ofccp-takes-additional-steps-to-unravel-key-affirmative-action-programs.html">Read more here</a>. But, remember, even as the agency’s structure is in flux, the OFCCP may pursue individual investigations under its remaining authority. Make sure you remain in compliance with existing standards.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p> <p>If you have any questions about these developments or how they may affect your business, contact your attorney or the authors of this article.</p> <p><strong><em>Editor’s Note: </em></strong><em>This article was drafted by </em><a href="https://www.fisherphillips.com/en/people/sheila-m-abron.html"><em>Sheila Abron</em></a><em> and </em><a href="https://www.fisherphillips.com/en/people/jennifer-b-sandberg.html"><em>Jennifer Sandberg</em></a><em>, partners of Fisher Phillips, a labor and employment law firm representing management, and is reprinted with permission. </em><em>This information should not be relied upon as legal advice</em><em>.</em></p><p>The post <a href="https://news.agc.org/labor-hr/ofccp-revives-disability-and-veteran-enforcement/">OFCCP Revives Disability and Veteran Enforcement</a> appeared first on <a href="https://news.agc.org">AGC News</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>AGC Education and Research Foundation Scholarships – Now Open for 2026-2027!</title> <link>https://news.agc.org/agc-education-research/agc-education-and-research-foundation-scholarships-now-open-for-2026-2027/</link> <comments>https://news.agc.org/agc-education-research/agc-education-and-research-foundation-scholarships-now-open-for-2026-2027/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Tori Crockett]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 07 Jul 2025 12:47:13 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[AGC Foundation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[AGC Student Chapters]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Construction Education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Construction Students]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Foundation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Scholarships]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Student Chapters]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Students]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://news.agc.org/?p=9581</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The AGC Education and Research Foundation is pleased to announce that applications for its annual undergraduate and graduate scholarships are now open for the 2026–2027 academic year!  These scholarships are available to students enrolled in accredited ACCE, ABET, and select ATMAE construction management or construction-related engineering programs.
