Description of Engagement

The Minnesota Department of Information Technology Services (MNIT), partnering with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), resources to perform Developer duties and Quality Assurance Analyst duties for the Prevailing Wage system modernization project
Minnesota's Prevailing Wage law (Minnesota Statutes 177.41 through 177.44) requires employees working on state-funded construction and public works projects to be paid wage rates comparable to wages paid for similar work in the area where the project is located.
DLI is responsible for administering the Prevailing Wage law.
As part of the agency wide modernization of all DLI technical systems, MNIT/DLI wishes to implement a state-of-the-art technology solution for Prevailing Wage.
The solution would move the Prevailing Wage system off of aging technology and transform work with more streamlined business processes built into the new tool.
DLI currently utilizes custom-developed automated systems for the processing of prevailing wage survey collection.

These systems are:

Labor Standards application (Imaging system)
PowerBuilder programming language (client/server) (User Interface)
Informix (Database)
Interfaces
C programs (Linux server)
Bash shell scripts (Linux server)
Web-based forms and Flat file transfer systems (Electronic Data Interchange (EDI))
Online surveys and wage reports, batch processing
ASP.Net Web forms C# / PHP
MariaDB
SQL Server
FTP client/ server interactions
Bash scripts
Interface
FTP client/server interactions (Linux server)
The key business drivers for an effective new solution are efficiency, automation, and data quality improvement.

The technical drivers to support the new solution are:

Data Intake and Quality: More flexible data quality and remediation for incoming survey data
Interactive Worksheet: Automated manual wage calculation process, using configurable business rules
Communication: Simple workflow and notification capabilities to generate communications or alerts and support processes for editing, review, and approval of survey data
Reports: Flexible reporting to offer additional graphical, geographical, dashboard, and table-style reports
Technology and Support: Minimize DLI/MNIT effort to maintain the application, database, native web user interfaces, and underlying infrastructure
The Developer resource will work to develop and modernize the Prevailing Wage system based on solution requirements supplied by the State.
The Quality Assurance Analyst resource will write and execute test cases and carry out an overall testing strategy that includes unit, integration, regression, performance, security, and accessibility testing for the system.
