Executive Order creates mask mandate and restrictions on accessing federal buildings

February 5, 2021 By Andrew Smith

As a result of an Executive Order issued by President Biden on January 20, 2021, federal contractors should expect new PPE requirements and possible facility access or capacity restrictions due to social distancing guidelines for personnel working at government-owned or government-leased sites.  This Executive Order on Protecting the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing requires heads of federal agencies to take immediate action to “require compliance with CDC guidelines with respect to wearing masks, maintaining physical distance, and other public health measures by . . . on-site Federal contractors . . . in Federal buildings or on Federal lands.”  The EO also creates the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force, which will be responsible for formulating additional COVID-related public health measures that might further restrict access to federal facilities.  To the extent that pandemic-related public health measures further restrict federal contractor employees’ access to facilities and those employees cannot work remotely, contractors may be able to seek reimbursement for employee and subcontractor compensation under Section 3610 of the CARES Act.

GSA allots $1 billion for maintenance of federal buildings across the country

The General Service Administration laid out a plan for fiscal 2014 public buildings spending that includes more than $1 billion in repair and maintenance for about 9,000 federal buildings across the country.

The GSA can spend $9.4 billion out of the Federal Buildings Fund to repair federal buildings, pay rent for leased buildings and consolidate offices under the compromise omnibus spending bill (H.R. 3547) signed into law Jan. 17 by President Obama. That amount increases the GSA’s buildings budget by $1.3 billion more than last year.

Due to reduced funding prior to fiscal 2014, GSA has failed to make $4 billion worth of repairs and maintenance, GSA Administrator Dan Tangherlini said in a Jan. 21 statement. Now, with the added funding, GSA can make headway on those repairs, Tangherlini said.
