SUMMARY:DBE Next Steps: A Four-Part Online Series to Prepare You for Change
DESCRIPTION:The DBE program as we know it is on the brink of transformation. With anticipated changes driven by recent court rulings\, the protections and preferential treatment that DBE firms rely on may soon be reduced – or even eliminated.

That’s why ACEC has partnered with Stambaugh Ness to present the DBE Next Steps: A Four-Part Online Series to Prepare You for Change designed to empower your firm with the knowledge\, strategies\, and tools needed to navigate these changes with confidence and build a foundation for long-term success. \nThis series will deliver actionable insights on critical topics including: \n\nOverview of Accounting System Compliance\, Policies\, & Procedures\nPolicies & Procedures: The Foundation of Your Accounting System\nAccounting System Requirements: SF 1408\nTimekeeping & Labor Distribution\nIndirect Rate/Overhead Schedules\nUnallowable Costs\n\n>Click here to register for the full series and save 10% on our regular online class pricing!

It is the expectation of DOTs that firms follow consistent practices when bidding\, booking\, and billing costs. This online class dives into the 15 requirements of the SF 1408 and provides strategies to fortify your existing system or identify a new software to meet DOT standards. Learn how to segregate costs\, identify unallowable expenses\, and optimize your software for success. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\nDiscover the components of an adequate accounting system\nUnderstand the importance of segregating direct and indirect costs\nGain clarity on job costing\n\n\n\nPresenter: Robert E.

DOTs and other government agencies frequently issue cost reimbursable contracts\, where negotiated and/or final billing rates are based on accurate indirect rates derived from reasonable\, allocable\, and allowable costs. This online class will delve into the standard AASHTO overhead schedule format and the foundation of cost allowability (aka unallowable costs). \nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\nLearn the process of calculating overhead or indirect rates\nDefine direct labor\, fringe\, and general overhead costs\nIdentify common unallowable costs\n\n\n\nPresenter: Robert E.

SUMMARY:DoD Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Briefing
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 7\, 2025 from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Eastern \nAs a follow up from the ACEC Federal Agencies and Procurement Advocacy (FAPA) Committee’s Winter Meeting\, officials from the Department of Defense (DoD) including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will brief current policies and future requirements of the DoD Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. \nThe defense industrial base (DIB) faces increasingly frequent\, and complex cyberattacks. To strengthen DIB cybersecurity and better safeguard DoD information\, the DoD developed the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program to assess existing DoD cybersecurity requirements. The CMMC model is designed to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) shared with defense contractors and subcontractors during contract performance. The CMMC Program implementation date is 60 days after the publication of the final Title 48 CFR CMMC acquisition rule. CMMC assessment requirements will be implemented using a four-phase plan over three years. The phases add CMMC Level requirements incrementally\, starting with self-assessments in Phase 1 and ending with full implementation of program requirements in Phase 4. This phased approach is intended to allow time to train CMMC Third Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs) and for companies to understand and implement CMMC assessment requirements. \nThe costs and requirements that this new contract language will place on small firms are significant\, and it’s imperative that firms do not wait to assess their cybersecurity. \nA pending proposed FAR rule on Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)\, which certainly relates to CMMC\, is available for ACEC comments. The deadline for member company feedback is Wednesday\, March 12. \nDo not miss this opportunity to hear directly from DoD about their upcoming cybersecurity requirements.

Whether you are a business leader\, legal\, or human resources professional\, this program will have something for you. \nCollectively\, the executive orders create compliance and risk management challenges for businesses. Executive Order 13950 from September 2020 titled “Combating Race and Sex Stereotyping” is back. Under E.O. 14173 titled “Ending Illegal Discrimination And Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity\,” the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) within the U.S. Department of Labor must cease promoting diversity and allowing or encouraging federal contractors and subcontractors to engage in workforce balancing based on race\, color\, sex\, sexual preference\, religion\, or national origin. Additionally\, federal contractors must certify that they do not have any DEI programs that violate any applicable federal anti-discrimination laws. This certification will be subject to the False Claims Act penalties. \nJoin Cate McCaffrey with Gibson Dunn to review the executive orders and their implications for firms that work for federal clients\, as well as risk management steps firms can take. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand what federal requirements have changed and what remains the same\nConsider the strategic and practical workforce implications for your company culture\nIdentify the business processes and business systems that may need to be changed along with the necessary resources to address them\n\nPresenter: Cate McCaffrey\, Associate Attorney with Gibson Dunn \nFree for ACEC Members!
