The AGC/C, in cooperation with several brokers, provides members with a Worker's Compensation Dividend Program. All AGC/C members are eligible to participate. The plan features a 4% premium discount on the front end of the premium year. An added benefit of the program is that premiums are based on an individual firm's performance, not the performance of the entire group. The plan also offers a loss prevention service, two dividend opportunities and coverage in nearly most states. During the seven years the program has been in existence, it has returned over $1.1 million to the participants. The AGC/CCA Workers' Compensation Dividend Program has been in existence since October 1, 1992. The pool has grown from 50 to 68 member firms with more than $3.8 million paid in dividends to the group and individual firms. To date, the pool has five AGC/C member firms acting as brokers to the pool: HRH of Colorado; IMA of Colorado; Lockton Companies of Colorado; Moody Insurance Agency, Inc.; Olson & Olson, Ltd.; and, Van Gilder Insurance.

Industry Information
Workforce Development Legislative Affairs AGC/C also has an on-going liaison committee with the city of Denver, and establishes liaison committees with other governmental bodies as the need arises. The AGC/C also has established lines of communication with community building officials and tax auditors. The AGC/C Legislative Committee provides direction as to the AGC/C legislative policy, carries out the legislative policy of the AGC/C, represents the AGC/C before the legislature and recommends ways of meeting legislative goals. Finally, the organization activity supports pro-construction candidates through state and local PAC contributions. The AGC of America, our national organization, is the voice of the commercial construction industry in Washington D.C. For information on national issues, go to www.agc.org. Medical Locator Service In case of a non-life threatening incident, your insurance information is already at the clinic so your employee is treated quickly and can return to work quickly as well. The service also saves money, in that clinic treatment is less expensive than emergent care. Forms and Publications The CDC currently is composed of over 100 members, who are contractors, specialty contractors, attorneys and other industry professionals. They develop and revise a comprehensive offering of standard form documents and related materials that cover the major project delivery approaches of design-bid-build, program management, construction management, and design-build. At present, AGC publishes more than 30 standard form contract documents and related materials (of which 9 documents relate to design-build, 8 to construction management, 15 to design-bid-build or to subcontracting, and 1 to program management). AGC also makes available for purchase many of its documents in electronic format. All AGC products are available through AGC's Publications Department (phone: 202-393-2040; fax: 202-737-5011) or may be ordered online at AGC's Web Site at www.agc.org. Subcontractor Relations Labor Law, Relations and Wage Rates Internships/Scholarships Colleges/University High Schools Additional support is provided to Career Education and Technical Education high schools by encouraging students to enroll in the construction classes offered by those schools. The AGC/C office disseminates information on these programs as well as providing information on post high school apprenticeship and trades programs. Information on scholarships is available on www.agc.org as well as through the AGC/C office.
All this and more gives AGC members a competitive edge in a competitive business.
