Background and Discussion:
RFP - As the construction needs of Harris County continue to grow, so has the continuing need for the automated labor software management tool. The software system LCPtracker was approved with four renewal options on October 18, 2022, by the Court. This software continues to be needed to meet the demands of multi-scale construction projects and adherence to regulatory compliance pursuant to Texas Government Code 2258, Davis Bacon and Related Acts, and HUD Section 3 provision requirements that the Department of Economic Equity and Opportunity monitors for all covered County construction projects. The court approved the initial agreement on October 18, 2022, with four (4) one-year options.
Request for approval of the third annual renewal based on best proposal meeting requirements and that the County Judge execute a renewal agreement with LCPtracker, Inc. for labor compliance monitoring software solution for the Department of Economic Equity and Opportunity. The agreement period is October 11, 2025, through October 10, 2026.
Expected Impact:
Using LCPtracker, DEEO will continue to monitor construction compliance of all contractors and subcontractors working on Harris County funded projects pursuant to applicable laws including Davis Bacon and Related Acts, Texas Gov’t Code 2258 prevailing wage, and HUD Section 3 Economic Opportunities. LCPtracker automates the entry and management of certified payrolls for locally and federally funded projects and provide detailed working information with reporting abilities to monitor current and future workforce initiatives. Funding for the software will be cost-allocated, in part, to federal grants and/or interlocal agreements with partnering agencies and departments.
Alternative Options:
Not funding the renewal request would impact the Department of Economic Equity and Opportunity’s ability to monitor current and future construction contractors effectively and efficiently without interruption of monitoring weekly certified payrolls, wage rate violations, and essential labor documents.
