For companies with 15 or more employees holding federal or federally-assisted contracts or subcontracts over $10,000, compliance with the "16 Affirmative Action Steps" is mandatory. These steps are detailed in the FHWA 1273 for federal highway construction contractors and are included in most state Department of Transportation contracts.
While written Affirmative Action Programs (AAPs) for minorities and females are not required for construction contracts, contractors still have many similar obligations as Service & Supply Contractors.
These include:
For direct federal construction contracts or subcontracts (such as federal buildings, VA hospitals, military facilities, Interstates, etc.), contractors are required to develop and execute written AAPs for Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities.
