What kinds of data collection and reporting will be required by the ARRA?
For all American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) projects, there are some extensive data reports on employment, by project, that need to be submitted every month by all contractors and consolidated by the agency (see attached reports). In order to meet these reporting requirements, the agency must impose upon the contractors to submit data every month, thereby creating extra work for each contractor, prime contractor, and agency.What will agencies and contractors be looking at in terms of extra work?
Primes will need to collect all subcontractor and sub-subcontractor data on the specified report forms for all workers on the project, including both prevailing wage and non-prevailing wage workers. If a subcontractor does not submit in a given month, then that subcontractor must be tracked and added to the next month’s reports. Just collecting these incoming reports will be a significant challenge for primes, as well as, for agencies. This could potentially be hundreds of reports each month. The agency must then collate all of the incoming reports, (often re-keying information,) for every project and then summarize and submit a monthly report to the Federal government.How can LCPtracker eliminate the burden of this new reporting?
With LCPtracker, simply submitting the prevailing wage reports online completely eliminates the requirement for the contractors to submit any ARRA spreadsheet data. LCPtracker tracks and organizes all incoming data as required. Many of the reports that are needed for ARRA are pulled directly from the prevailing wage reports and supplemental data LCPtracker collects. The prime and the agency simply produce the reports using LCPtracker and submit them to the Federal Government as needed.To find out more on LCPtracker’s Quick Start Program, please reply to this email or call to one of us below.
