MEMORANDUM NO. 124
TO: ALL GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING AGENCIES OF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
SUBJECT: AUTOMATION OF THE DAVIS-BACON WAGE DETERMINATION
PROGRAM
The Department of Labor has awarded a contract to Ocean
Data Systems, Inc., and its subcontractor, Gordon Associates,
Inc., for technical assistance in designing and implementing
an automatic data processing (ADP) system for the Davis-
Bacon wage determination program.
This systems development effort will take place over a
planned period of sixteen months extending from March 1976
through June 1977. Operational start-up of the Davis-Bacon
ADP system is tentatively scheduled for April 1977. The
first task is a three-month detailed analysis of the Davis-
Bacon program by the contractors. During this three-month
period the contractors will be interviewing personnel in
the National and Regional Offices as well as Federal, State
and local procurement agencies, labor organizations, and
construction contractors and associations. The support and
cooperation of all sources of information is vital to the
successful completion of this initial task as well as the
entire project.
Any questions regarding the project should be directed to
this office.
