Re: NMDOT CHAMP’S Program

ACNM has been informed that NMDOT has intentions to change the CHAMPS software program out (due to continuous problems by the construction industry) to a new software program.

According to NMDOT, this program offered by B2GNOW is LCPtracker and is a diversity management software program that is web-based enterprise solution for managing government diversity programs.

This software is designed to streamline and automate administrative functions by providing a turn-key hosted solutions to the contractor community.  B2GNOW consists of several modules:

Contract management & compliance                          Certification processing & tracking
Vendor Management                                                  Outreach management

LCPtracker is web hosted labor compliance software.  It contains over 25 federally required reports pertaining to workforce utilization, certified payrolls, ethnicity goals and apprentice monitoring.

These programs are designed to alert users of any discrepancies thru flagging actions and request corrective actions.  Flagging actions will not delay the processing of pay estimates but will provide a data base and allow for identifying recurring issues.

B2GNOW/LCPtracker will

Eliminate yearly maintenance cost for the contractors & vendors
Reducing pay estimate processing time by 40-50%
Provide increased security of confidential employee information (Social Security information)
Provide immediate access to pertinent report documents
Identify eligible certified DBE firms

NOTE:                       ACNM has requested that NMDOT invite B2GNOW to Albuquerque to do a presentation of this new software program for the ACNM membership.  We expect to have meeting date over the next two weeks and ACNM will send out a notice to our
