On Oct. 9, AGC members met with leaders of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Headquarters and field offices from across the country for the agency’s first ever interactive training session with the construction industry in Washington, DC.

AGC members explained the importance of early communication by USACE, gave incites on the type of information that industry seeks in order to qualify an opportunity, and the value associated with certain types of USACE engagements (e.g. RFIs, one-on-ones, partnering, industry days).

AGC members spoke about how different factors might influence the decision towards either bidding or not bidding (e.g., costs of competition, risks, acquisition strategy, past acquisition practices of customer, competitive analysis, etc.).  AGC frequently engages in training sessions with federal agencies and remains dedicated to further educating federal agencies on construction process.
