You won't want to miss "Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Three-Part Webinar Series:Understanding, Influencing and Complying with FederalPrevailing Wage Requirements" kicking off February 21,at 1PM MST. The application of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts(DBRA) to federal and federally assisted constructionprojects leaves many contractors uncertain about therequirements of federal prevailing wage laws and theconsequences of non-compliance. Failure to complyputs covered contractors at risk of catastrophicconsequences, from losing money on contracts due tofailure to understand labor costs, to high dollar back payand related penalties, to debarment from future federalwork. Adding further confusion, the U.S. Department ofLabor (DOL) recently enacted a massive overhaul andupdate to the regulations governing the DBRA. Thisthree-part webinar series seeks to help contractorsavoid those risks by educating staff tasked with DBRAcompliance and administration on coverage,requirements, pitfalls, and enforcement of these laws.CONTINUE READING >AGC NEW MEXICOEVENT CALENDARFEBRUARY 2024FEBRUARY 6TH 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM Building Information Modeling Education Program- CLICK HERE FEBRUARY 9TH 8:00 AM - 5:00 PMOSHA Forklift Operator Course - CLICK HERE FEBRUARY 26TH 8:00 AM - 5:00 PMOSHA 30 Spanish and English - CLICK HEREMARCH 2024DAY 1 - MARCH 7TH 4:00 PM - 5:00 PMDAY 2 - MARCH 8TH 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM Women of Construction - CLICK HERE MARCH 12TH - 21ST 10:00 AM - 4:00 PMLean Construction Education Program, 2nd edition– Hybrid - CLICK HERE MARCH 18TH - MARCH 22ND 12:30 PM - 5:30 PMConstruction Supervision Fundamentals - CLICK HERE MARCH 22ND 8:00 AM - 12:00 PMDefensive Driving - ENGLISH & SPANISH - CLICK HERECopyright: AGC NM

A non-profit small business developmentcenter with offices in Albuquerque wantsto see the expansion of its productionfacilities in a move to tap into the state'sgrowing film industry. The Studio at WESST, located at 609Broadway Boulevard NE, offers a full-service TV and film production studio.The company is especially valued in theindustry for its pre-lit, three wall greencyclorama and intricate lighting grid.ALBUQUERQUE FILMPRODUCTION SERVICEWANTS TO EXPANDFACILITYBy Garry Boulard, The Built Environment01/31/2024The group opened its Comcast DigitalMedia Studio in the fall of 2014, rentingout studio space for TV or film projectson an hourly basis. Now WESST is hoping to secure up to$1.2 million in capital outlay funding fromthe New Mexico State Legislature toexpand a roughly 1,000 square footstorage area into a full-fledged post-production facility. According to Albuquerque Business First, acombination of four lawmakers have thusfar committed themselves to seeking$600,000 in capital outlay money for theproject. If those funds are secured and the facilityis built, it will fill a void that has beenfrequently commented upon in the filmindustry. According to a report released last monthcalled the Economic Impact of NewMexico Film Production Tax Credit, theavailability of high-quality productionspace has remained a challenge for manyfilm makers in the state. This has provenparticularly true, continued the report,"for soundstages and post-productionfacilities."25CONSTRUCTION NEWSNEW MEXICOBUILTENVIRONMENTCopyright: Canva ProWorking out of a 10,000 square footfacility in Albuquerque's InnovationDistrict, the Studio at WESST is part ofthe larger nonprofit Women's EconomicSelf Sufficiency Team effort launched in1989.Copyright: Canva Pro

Catholic Charities Housing, a faith-basednonprofit founded in 1927, owns andmanages just under 2,000 affordableresidential units in both Colorado andWyoming, including more than half adozen major projects in metro Denver.The group is taking on the $23 millionBenedict project with the BlueLineDevelopment company, which isheadquartered in Missoula, Montana. Any contractor contribution above the$1,000 level, continues the analysis,would automatically disqualify thatcontractor from bidding on a contractfunded by the successful passage of theelection bond.The legislation, which is now underreview in the House Rules Committee,specifically prohibits "an individual,corporation, partnership, association, orany other organization," from bidding onsuch contracts.In an interview with Phoenix radiostation KJZZ, Hendrix said his legislationis designed to fill a void due to an absenceof conflict-of-interest laws regardingsuch contributions.

81REAL ESTATE NEWSSOUTHWESTBUILTENVIRONMENTRather than approving one giant bill toaddress all of Colorado's housing needs,state lawmakers are contemplating anapproach that would look at those needsstrictly from a local perspective.Failed housing legislation last year took aholistic approach, proposing that nearly$16 million in state funding beappropriated to address everything fromzoning and building code reforms totransit-oriented developments, amongother things.IN EXPENSIVE HOUSINGSTATE, COLORADOLAWMAKERS ON VERGEOF TACKLING A WIDEARRAY OF NEWHOUSING LEGISLATIONBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter01/30/2024Copyright: Canva ProThat legislation ultimately failed in theColorado Senate. But now one of thelegislature's leaders, Steve Fenberg,president of the Senate, said a move isunderway for a bill that will create a stateboard tasked with aiding localgovernments to assess their own housingneeds."That's something that is going to providea roadmap for each individual communityand region," Fenberg recently remarkedto the news service Colorado News Line,"to know what the need is, what theprogress is in meeting that need, andwhat they need to do from a menu ofoptions to get to the goal."In his State of the State address earlierthis month, Colorado Governor JaredPolis proposed removing restrictions onthe building of accessory dwelling units,tax credits for building high densityhousing projects near transit hubs, and anelimination of excessive constructionliability in the building of newcondominiums.Colorado lawmakers, who will adjournthe spring 2024 session on May 8, willalso soon be deciding on a proposal thatwill prohibit local governments fromimposing laws restricting the number ofpeople who may live together in onedwelling unit.That legislation, HB24-1007, is currently

Perhapscontributing to the decline has been thegrowing number of new apartmentconstruction. As of the final quarter oflast year, some 436,000 new units hadbeen completed.“This abrupt deceleration wasgeographically widespread,” notesWhitney Airgood-Obrycki, a senior Copyright: Canva Pro

researcher at the Harvard program andlead author of the new report.In a press release, Airgood-Obryckiadded: “While the slowdown is awelcome change for renters, asking rentsstill remain well above pre-pandemiclevels.”85BUILTENVIRONMENTEven though the increase in newapartment construction is being seen inall regions of the country, the reportnotes that the nation’s rental stock is“older than it has ever been,” up from 34years on average two decades ago, toaround 44 years as of the end of 2021.“And many of those units fall short ofbaseline habitability and safety,” says thereport. “Nearly 4 million renterhouseholds live in physically inadequateunits.” Many of the units additionally arein need of energy efficiency and electricalsystem upgrades.Not helping matters is the ongoingdecline in the number of low-rent unitsnationally. Rentals of $600 a month orless have declined by 2.1 million in recentyears.

106BUILTENVIRONMENTLEGISLATIONNATIONALA recently released publication issued bythe Federal Highway Administrationpertaining to the content of messagesappearing on traffic signs and marqueeshas drawn the ire of two Congressmen. The FHWA publication, Manual onUniform Traffic Control Devices forStreets and Highways, states that thereshould be a uniformity in the design of allhighway signs that shall include “shape,dimensions, legends, letter style, border,and illumination or retro reflectivity.”CONGRESSMEN OBJECTTO NEW FEDERALHIGHWAYADMINISTRATION SIGNPOLICIESBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 01/26/2024Copyright: Canva ProBut the publication also discourages theuse of any popular or humorousreferences on such signs, which it definesas having “obscure” or “secondarymeanings.”Such signs, says the publication, “mightbe misunderstood or understood only bya limited segment of road users andrequire greater time to process andunderstand.”“Similarly,” the publication continues,“slogan-type messages and the display ofstatistical information should not beused.”In a letter jointly written byRepresentatives Greg Stanton or Arizonaand Thomas Kean, Jr., of New Jersey, theCongressmen remark: “While safety isour highest priority for our constituentstraveling on our roadways, we haveconcerns about this guidance.”The Representatives continue: “We agreethat clear, concise signage is important;however, we believe this can be donewith humor while keeping the attentionof drivers on the road.”Continues >

107The letter to Shailen Bhatt, Administrator of the FHWA, particularly points out thatthe Arizona Department of Transportation annually conducts a competition for thefunniest freeway sign messages, with one of last year’s winners announcing: “I’m Just aSign Asking a Driver to Use Turn Signals.”The Congressmen also contend that the suggestions stated in the FHWA publication“leave no room for state-by-state discretion.”“The expertise and oversight of the FHWA is important for highway safety,” Stantonand Kean continue. “But our States’ Department of Transportation create state-specific communications that ensure our local residents know what is happening andstay safe.”The Congressmen have further called upon Bhatt to explain the analysis that went intothe new sign guidance, and what, if any “crash or fatality data” was used.There has, so far, been no response from Bhatt.BUILTENVIRONMENTNearly $5 billion in funding through two federalprograms has just been released for a series ofinfrastructure projects across the country.

AGC would like to share an exciting tool to demonstrate the economic impact of infrastructure investment inNew Mexico - ‘AGC Construction Impact Model’.AGC of America partnered with Brian R. Lewandowski, University of Colorado Boulder to produce a flexiblebut simple economic model that calculates the impact on employment and output in each state from varioussizes of investment in different types of construction.The below link provides an explanation and instructions for using the model. The table below shows an example of the results obtainable from the model, in this case, the total instatejobs (construction, supplier and induced jobs throughout the state's economy) and total instate output from a$1 billion investment over one year in three types of construction: highways, nonresidential buildings, orother nonresidential structures (infrastructure).Users can choose from:Seven other types of investment in single- or multifamily construction, repair and maintenance, orarchitectural and engineering services. Any dollar amountAny starting yearAny duration for the investmentIn addition to total instate jobs and output, the model shows separately the impact on construction, supplierand induced jobs, output, and value added (or state gross domestic product, the amount of labor income andprofits added by the investment), and the 10 sectors that receive the most additional spending.To access AGC’s ConstructionImpact Tool click here.
