Covid-19 Pandemic [Abstract]
COVID-19 PANDEMIC	NOTE 14 – COVID-19 PANDEMIC In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak spread quickly across the globe. Federal, state, and local governments mobilized to implement containment mechanisms and minimize impacts to their populations and economies. Various containment measures, which included stay-at-home orders and restrictions on the operations of businesses, while aiding in the prevention of further outbreak, have resulted in a severe drop in general economic activity, volatility in the financial markets and an economic downturn. As a result, there have been three financial responses from the U.S. government, in addition to interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board which were initially implemented to stabilize the U.S. stock markets. The federal government’s stimulus legislation related to COVID-19 include: The Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”). In connection with the CARES Act, we have opted to defer the deposit and payment of the employer’s share of Social Security taxes. Under the CARES Act, deferrals are currently allowed from March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020. The Company has not received any other assistance under the CARES Act, nor does the Company expect to realize any other tax benefits from the program. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has deferred payment of $8.1 million relating to its share of Social Security taxes and $4.0 million of this liability is recorded within other long-term liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The remainder is recorded in Accrued Liabilities within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not deferred any additional tax payments after December 31, 2020. During the second quarter of 2020, we reduced our workforce through various actions. We routinely assess our staffing levels to make certain that we continue to appropriately service our clients and maintain shareholder value. As a safety focused organization, since the outbreak of COVID-19 and continuing throughout the remainder of 2020, we encouraged our employees to work from home wherever possible and to honor all shelter-in-place rules put forth by their state or local governments. As shelter-in-place rules have been lifted and vaccination efforts are rolled out to the general public, we have allowed our employees to return to our offices when it has been safe to do so and have begun to rehire additional staff. We continue to monitor the credit quality and access to capital for our non-governmental clients as this can be an indication of their ability to go forth with future projects and continue to pay for contracted services. As an infrastructure company, the work we do is currently deemed essential by Federal, state and local governments but any change from that designation could have a negative result on our business as well as our peers. We are assessing the impact that proposed Federal vaccination mandates may have on our ability to service our clients as well as our retention (and potential recruitment) of our employees. We are in compliance with our debt covenants as of December 31, 2021 and we expect that we will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

NOTE 14 – COVID-19 PANDEMIC

In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak spread quickly across the globe. Federal, state, and local governments mobilized to implement containment mechanisms and minimize impacts to their populations and economies. Various containment measures, which included stay-at-home orders and restrictions on the operations of businesses, while aiding in the prevention of further outbreak, have resulted in a severe drop in general economic activity, volatility in the financial markets and an economic downturn.

As a result, there have been three financial responses from the U.S. government, in addition to interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board which were initially implemented to stabilize the U.S. stock markets. The federal government’s stimulus legislation related to COVID-19 include: The Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”).

In connection with the CARES Act, we have opted to defer the deposit and payment of the employer’s share of Social Security taxes. Under the CARES Act, deferrals are currently allowed from March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020. The Company has not received any other assistance under the CARES Act, nor does the Company expect to realize any other tax benefits from the program. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has deferred payment of $8.1 million relating to its share of Social Security taxes and $4.0 million of this liability is recorded within other long-term liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The remainder is recorded in Accrued Liabilities within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not deferred any additional tax payments after December 31, 2020.
