The New GovernmentThrough a number of new policies Government Contracting is being run
more like a “business” than ever.

initiative.

Competition = Price Goes Down
Work will get completed faster
Encourages smaller contractors
LPTA has trimmed around 50% in Gov. Construction costs and decreased project length by over 15%. Which means it is probably here for
awhile.
Business is how it is, not how it was
Compliance: The New DoLThe DoL has been very clear on one thing, they are coming to investigate compliance.
Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez on DOL Enforcement Strategies - March 2015
“Instead of a purely reactive
approach where we respond to
incoming complaints, we have
targeted investigations in industries
where we know workers are
vulnerable.
Why Contracting is a “Vulnerable” IndustryThe DoL is targeting Government Contractors because they feel many are not in compliance. .
1 In 2014, 78% of Contractors audited were not in compliance

Contactors believe a violation will be a affordable- Not True
2 Almost half of audits in 2014 were done without a complaint

Besides, it is really rare to receive a suspension or debarment

65% Increase Over Past 5 Years
98% Increase Over Past 5 Years
The DOL has requested a 22% budget increase to about $277M in
FY2016. This would provide the agency with 300 new full-time
investigators and upgrades to its technology.
