5-12-2009 - The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Imposes Additional Reporting Requirements for Contractors Working on Federally Funded Highway Construction Projects.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), provides the State Departments of Transportation and Federal Lands Agencies with $27.5 billion for highway infrastructure investment.

With this money there also comes an increased level of reporting, which we have added to Certified Payroll Solution to better and more fully serve the needs of our customers who may be working on these types of construction projects.

ARRA Reports include:

• Monthly Employment Report – Form FHWA-1589: required by all subcontractors, consultants, and general contractors working on the project
• Monthly Recipient Project Status Report – Form FHWA-1585 (a summary report in addition to Form FWA-1589 – usually completed at the State level)
• Initial ARRA Project Plan – Form FHWA-1586 (a summary report in addition to Form FWA-1589 – usually completed at the State level)
• Monthly Summary Employment Report – Form FHWA-1587 (a summary report in addition to Form FWA-1589 – usually completed at the State level)
• Periodic Grouped Project Report – Form FHWA-1588 (a summary report in addition to Form FWA-1589 – usually completed at the State level)
