Valley of the Sun, Phoenix, AZ

We are a specialty contractor based in Arizona.  I just found out (after the fact of course) that we have started work on a federal project in California.  I don't even know where to begin getting us "legal" to work there.  Our business development manager is saying since it's federal work we don't have to do anything.  I find that hard to believe so I'm checking to see if any of you can tell me what's what.

Earlier this year, we rolled out a change to our job startup process to comply with federal requirements. During the job setup/startup process, you will need to document whether any portion of the project's revenue will be paid for with federal funds, in part or in whole.  This is basically a Yes or No question.  However, if yes, use a best estimate of what portion or percentage will be paid for with federal funding.  This question should be raised to the project Owner's representative.
