LCPtracker Facilitates New Jobs and Training to Those Who Most Deserve it.

Orange, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/24/2017 -- LCPtracker, Inc., the leader in construction compliance management software for public works, offers a collection of software solutions that make hiring practices and wage payments transparent.

The transparency that LCPtracker software provides not only allows government agencies to track wages, demographics, locations and skill levels, but also the economic impact each project has on the targeted community. Government agencies, public works and construction industry decision makers can instantly identify shortfalls and adapt quickly to ensure the contractors are hiring apprentices.

With over $150 billion of construction data, LCPtracker is able to provide real data and statistics to assist new public works projects to target underrepresented workers. "We have a program that we know any community could benefit from," said LCPtracker CEO Mark Douglas. "In the city of Seattle we found that only 6% of project hours were going to local workers, but in just one year Seattle tripled the number of female and minority apprentices.

This June, President Trump pledged to support new apprenticeship opportunities, with a goal of creating 5 million new apprenticeships. Congress is preparing to invest $1 trillion on infrastructure projects slated to start in 2018. LCPtracker is dedicated to ensure those new apprenticeships go to the communities that need them the most. "By targeting efforts to our most underserved communities we are creating opportunities and a living wages for those residents," said Douglas. "Those living below the poverty line will be able to exit the revolving cycle of public assistance and become self-sufficient."

Using LCPtracker's web-based SaaS solutions for collecting, verifying and managing certified payrolls and workforce requirements is the most effective way to make data-driven policy decisions to adjust programs that address the areas of need.

Davis-Bacon Takes Center Stage at LCPtracker’s 2017 Ignite User Conference

Orange, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/23/2017 -- LCPtracker, Inc., the leader in construction compliance management software solutions for public works, held their 7th annual user conference from May 30th to June 2nd at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California.

The annual user conference, Ignite, aims to educate members of the construction industry on the important regulations that effect their companies, and highlight the positive effects that labor and workforce laws have on communities and disadvantaged workers.

As expected, Davis-Bacon was a highly-discussed topic at the conference. "We have irrefutable proof that labor wages only make up a maximum of 21% of the construction budget on a project," said LCPtracker CEO, Mark Douglas.

Speakers at the LCPtracker user conference stressed the lack of accurate evidence that proves the rumored repeal of Davis-Bacon would save money for the American taxpayers. "At maximum you could see a 4% decrease in construction costs if Davis-Bacon were repealed, but those thousands of prevailing wage workers would then fall under the poverty line and qualify for welfare and social assistance programs," said Douglas.

From the contractor and agency side, productivity under Davis-Bacon was another key topic. "A skilled carpenter performs faster than a lower-paid, less skilled worker," said Douglas. "Studies suggest 15 to 20% in increased productivity, a figure that directly parallels the cost savings."

Keynote speakers also covered a broad range of topics during the conference addressing issues such as: labor compliance principals, workforce training, tracking and reporting, and public works apprenticeships.

Daniel Villao, Deputy Administrator for the Office of Apprenticeship at the Department of Labor, tackled the topic of apprenticeship as a keynote speaker. His speech foreshadowed recent administration announcements regarding plans for creating one million new apprentices in the next two years.

Mr. Villao leads programmatic and expansion design in the Federal Registered Apprenticeship(RA) system. He is leading teams charged with the expansion of Apprenticeship USA across the nation and has overseen integrating new technologies to modernize the approach to American access to careers.

LCPtracker also offered comprehensive training on reporting, advanced interfaces, and workforce management.

LCPtracker, Inc. Praises President Trump’s Decision to Support the Nation’s Trades.

Orange, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/09/2017 -- Davis-Bacon and Prevailing Wage Laws have been empowering careers for the disadvantaged worker since 1931. On June 8, 2017, despite fierce debate among United States policy makers on both sides, President Trump formally announced his plan to maintain the Davis-Bacon Act in the administration's rebuilding package, therefore protecting the federal construction workers and contractors.

On this historic day, LCPtracker, Inc. President and CEO, Mark Douglas, praises President Trump's position on Davis-Bacon saying, "this is a fantastic win for the middle class, for Veterans, for minorities and inner city workers alike. These workers are greatly benefiting from better wages, training and apprenticeship programs within the construction industry. Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage laws enable these disadvantaged workers the opportunity to earn a middle class income. President Trump deserves to be commended for supporting our country's middle class today, and for building all of the trades of America."

LCPtracker, Inc. is a leading software service provider specializing in construction site compliance related software, located in Orange, CA.

Supporting Quotes:

Mark Douglas, President and CEO, LCPtracker, Inc.: "President Trump's goal is to invest 1 trillion dollars into infrastructure which will also create hundreds of thousands of construction jobs. This support will ensure 25% of those career opportunities go to the disadvantaged, and over time will help transform our inner cities."

LCPtracker, Inc. Urges Policy Makers to Look at the Facts of Davis-Bacon.

Orange, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/14/2017 -- Earlier this month, LCPtracker President and CEO, Mark Douglas, presented to a national audience of trade labor leaders.

In his presentation, he explained that the original intent of the Davis-Bacon Act was to protect local workers and their wages. And, that without prevailing wage laws like the federal Davis-Bacon Act and other state/local prevailing wage laws, local and highly skilled contractors would have trouble winning bids since they pay their workers higher wages and better benefits. Awarding contracts to the lowest bidder seems like a logical opportunity to save taxpayers money. Unfortunately, the low bid winners are often contractors who pay lower wages, hire illegal workers, don't offer benefits of any kind, or pay wages in cash (under the table). These type of contractors often pay their workers for a "day's-wage" (i.e., for a 10 to 12 hour workday) which also leads to their refusal to pay overtime. This often leaves workers dependent on federal and state social subsistence programs like food stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC).

Opponents to the Davis-Bacon Act try to confuse the public with unsubstantiated claims of saving 20% or more on applicable construction projects. In reality, taxpayers pick up a much greater tab, paying for illegal workers' health care, workers' compensation insurance, loss of tax revenue, food stamps, and more.  As more illegal workers pour over the border, taxpayers also pay for their children's school, health care, and other government funded services. 

The claim that taxpayers would enjoy a 20% cost savings on public works projects if the Davis-Bacon Act and other prevailing wage laws are repealed, was debunked by Douglas in the following points:

1. Construction project costs average 20-23% labor and up to 77% material 
2. Prevailing wage rates average 17.5% higher nationally
3. On a $1M dollar project wages increase by $40,000 which is 4%, not 20%.
4. Maximum potential savings is 4-6%

But, this ignores productivity per hour.

Research has shown when construction projects hire skilled, higher-wage workers, these workers finish projects 15% faster. The carpenter builds the wall faster, the plumber installs the drains quicker.

This time saved equalizes the potential wage savings.

Supporting Quotes:

Mark Douglas, President and CEO, LCPtracker, Inc.: "President Trump's goal is to invest 1 trillion dollars into infrastructure which will also create several hundred thousand construction jobs. If we just ensure 25% of those career opportunities go to the disadvantaged, we would transform our inner cities."

"Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage laws create opportunities for women, minorities, veterans, the homeless, the economically disadvantaged, single custodial parents, those with criminal records, those who are chronically unemployed, those with no GED or high school diploma, and those receiving public assistance to obtain jobs that lift them out of poverty and eliminate their need for public assistance. Such careers transform lives and break the cycle of poverty. The beauty of hiring the underprivileged is--once you lift one person out of poverty, you lift up their entire family and all the generations to come."

LCPtracker, Inc. Urges United States Policy Makers to Look at the Facts

Orange, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/30/2017 -- Today, there is a new and more compelling reason to keep Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage laws. The unexpected result of Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage laws is that they are empowering careers for the American disadvantaged worker. With advances in technology and the laws requiring government agencies to collect wage and worker data, local communities are taking advantage of this data to ensure their worker hiring programs are successful with transformative statistical results. What occurred is not only could government agencies track wages, but they could also track the type of people they hired who normally did not obtain those jobs.

Inner cities are struggling economically and unemployment is running rampant in minority segments of our society. Cities and public agencies are responding with workforce hiring programs on public works construction projects. These workforce programs set goals for contractors to hire local, underrepresented and economically disadvantaged workers.

Prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon laws have enabled these workforce programs to gain visibility and transparency through the requirement of certified payroll reporting. The reports have proved to be an invaluable tool for tracking workforce goals since information about worker gender, ethnicity, and zip codes must also be submitted. This dramatically increases the visibility of these targeted workers and highlights how hiring them has transformed local economies. Technology has allowed statistical tracking, giving transparency to each program's success and spotlighting areas that still need improvement.

In 1931, the Davis-Bacon Act sought to protect both federal construction workers and the public from greed driven contractors. Thirty states have also passed prevailing wage laws that accomplished the same mission in local communities. The purpose of these laws was to create an equal playing field for bidders so that contractors compete based on skill, productivity and safety instead of low bids through paying workers below-the-poverty-line wages.

Unfortunately, Davis-Bacon has recently been accused of escalating construction project costs and now is in danger of being repealed. Constituents of the movement against Davis-Bacon allege that removing prevailing wage requirements can reduce 20% of construction costs. Applying basic math demonstrates the impossibility of this claim.

Construction project costs average nationally 23% labor and 77% material. Studies have shown that, on average, the prevailing wage rate is 17.5% higher for any given craft and classification; however, research has also shown the jobs are also completed 20% faster due to higher productivity. The improved productivity by the more skilled worker offsets paying the higher prevailing wages per hour.

To save 20% on a construction project labor rates would have to average at least 80% higher on prevailing wage projects.

Repealing Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage laws would be detrimental. It would result in lost federal tax revenue of $5.3 billion as contractors who do not pay prevailing wages also pay less taxes. And, equally important, there would be far less jobs for disadvantaged American workers.

Supporting Quotes:

Mark Douglas, President and CEO, LCPtracker, Inc.: "To say eliminating Davis-Bacon will result in a 20% reduction of costs would mean labor would have to be around 3% of the total construction costs. Ask yourself, can any construction project be delivered with 97% material and 3% labor?"

"Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage laws offer opportunities for women, minorities, veterans, the homeless, the economically disadvantaged, single custodial parents, those with criminal records, those who are chronically unemployed, those with no GED or high school diploma, and those receiving public assistance to obtain jobs."

"Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage laws are about creating jobs--jobs that transform people's lives and break the cycle of poverty. Because once you take one person out of poverty, you lift up their entire family, and all the generations to come."

Orange, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/01/2016 -- The United States is facing a growing shortage of skilled construction workers, and the gap is expected to approach 2 million by 2018. Additionally, the latest Associated General Contractors of America survey has found that 83% of construction firms are having trouble finding qualified workers. And the challenge to employers is compounded by the 17% of skilled workers who will retire in coming years. For their part, disadvantaged workers often cannot afford simple costs such as initiation fees, tools, boots or other pre-requisites for entry to apprenticeship training.

With this in mind, LCPtracker, Inc., leader in construction compliance management software solutions for public works, in partnership with nonprofit, Emerald Cities Collaborative (ECC), has announced today a new national construction apprenticeship assistance program called Skills Build Us!

Skills Build Us! – The Nation's Construction Apprentice Assistance Program – helps address both the construction industry's need for qualified, diverse workers and the financial needs that, if unmet, can block disadvantaged workers, women and veterans from apprenticeship training. The program is designed to help disadvantaged workers, including those who are homeless, emancipated foster youth, residents of public housing and others, overcome financial barriers.

By ensuring the availability of the next generation of skilled workers, and enabling disadvantaged workers, women and veterans to enter high-wage construction careers, the program is a win-win for everyone.

LCPtracker has created and launched the program's brand and website, http://www.SkillsBuildUs.org, where users can make tax-deductible donations to help disadvantaged workers gain entry into apprenticeship programs. As part of the launch LCPtracker will leverage its significant client base and key relationships in the industry to promote this new initiative.

Supporting Quotes

Mark Douglas, President and CEO, LCPtracker, Inc.: "This program is designed to help pave the way for disadvantaged workers in our communities to transition into construction careers. My goal is to have thousands of contractors participate in helping people who want and need jobs and give them a chance to get those jobs. With the worker shortage, it only makes sense that contractors help train and educate the workforce this industry so desperately needs. What better way to do this than by changing the lives of these people while at the same time addressing our national skilled labor shortage?"

Veronica Soto, Program Director at Emerald Cities Collaborative: Billions of dollars in U.S. construction activity is at risk due to a skilled labor shortage, yet many disadvantaged people, veterans and women are ready and willing to fill those jobs. Skills Build Us! addresses artificial barriers that block workers seeking entry to high-wage careers – the cost of a pair of boots, a union initiation fee, transportation or other simple but critical needs. Together with LCPtacker, ECC invites our construction industry partners to help build the skilled workforce they need by contributing to this unique and timely program."
