For nearly three years, the U.S. construction industry has been buffeted by unprecedented increases in material costs, supply-chain bottlenecks, and a tight labor market. AGC’s Construction Inflation Alert is intended to help owners, public officials and others understand what contractors are experiencing. The December 2022 edition — the ninth since early 2021, outlines steps owners and contractors can take to adjust to the fast-changing market conditions. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Fort Worth District, in partnership with Dallas Water Utilities and the City of Dallas Small Business Center, is hosting a workshop to provide information on the following:

 

• How to register as a vendor
• How to locate solicitations
• What to consider when working as a contractor for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
• Updates on the work currently underway on the Dallas Floodway Levee System

Aecom Hunt, Byrne Construction Services and EJ Smith Construction will lead the expansion of the Fort Worth Convention Center in Texas. Construction on the first of two phases, valued at as much as $30 million, is set to begin in the middle of next year.

This is an instructor-led course that teaches students critical skills needed to respond to and manage an emergency until emergency medical services arrive. Skills covered in this course include first aid for sudden illnesses, injuries and protection from blood-borne pathogens, choking relief, and sudden cardiac arrest for adults.
