Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2020 Construction Law Update provides current coverage of legal issues that have a practical impact on the day-to-day functioning of the very dynamic processes in a dynamic industry, that is, construction. Highlights of the 2020 update include: Five chapters take readers through notable cases throughout the past year in the various regions of the country including recent developments under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the False Claims Act (FCA), various federal regulations that potentially impact federal contractors, revised procedural rules in the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals, and recent Department of Justice Memoranda impacting claims under the FCA. This edition also addresses developments in employees' health and safety issues as well as construction law developments. Contracting with the federal government comes with its own set of pitfalls. This year's chapter is written by a former JAG officer who has worked for and dealt with the government procurement process for over 40 years. Chances are his insight will bring new perspectives to navigating the treacherous federal government waters. Space. The Final Construction Site. This supplement contains an interesting and unique chapter dealing with building the International Space Station. Not a typical construction site, but a crowded one with fourteen different nations participating in the build. Who will get to and build on the Moon and Mars first? How do you build in zero gravity? Arbitration is a viable and popular alternative to the court process. The more you know and the more you prepare in advance, the better the outcome. Not only is arbitration a preference domestically, but with our global economy, arbitration is also a popular international option. Labor and employment should always be at the forefront of everyone's mind when putting together a team for a project, managing that team, or being part of the team. This chapter covers authorization to work, employment relationships, pay, ADA, sexual harassment and retaliation. These issues are not just for the owners and executives. We all have an obligation to the environment, and there are a myriad of environmental issues facing the construction industry today. Owners and contractors not only have to know how to build, but also have to know where to build and what impact that build will have on air and water pollution, stormwater, wastewater, noise, habitat loss, and much more. Why should an owner have a Suspension of Work clause in their contracts? This Update offers practical recommendations on what actions contractors should take to protect the recovery of damages and why these actions may help owners resolve claims in the field rather than the court.
