Working on a federal government contract can be challenging at the least. Some projects require that all workers be United States Citizens, others institute the Buy American Act and/or the Buy America Act which can drastically affect material and labor costs. More still, working in secured areas, like military bases, may require background checks, security clearances, and daily vehicle inspections. At Turner Roofing Company, Inc. we are familiar with all of these requirements and can meet them without issue. The Buy American Act is not to be confused with the very similary named Buy America Act, which came into effect in 1983. The latter, a provision of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982, is 49 U.S.C., section 5323 (j), and applies only to mass-transit-related procurements valued over US $100,000 and funded at least in part by federal grants.
