Abstract
|
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) was a fiscal stimulus package signed by President Obama on March 6, 2009. State agencies like the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) who received ARRA funds had to report, on a monthly basis, various data on each project in the ARRA program, including staff numbers, hours worked, and payroll. Research Project 0-6592, Implementing ARRA Economic Impacts Database, explored labor usage in ARRA projects. One product of 0-6592 was a Microsoft Access database (0-6592-P1) that summarized and displayed data on TxDOT ARRA projects. TxDOT asked the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) to identify and isolate specific elements of the 0-6592 database that TxDOTs Construction Division (CST) can implement into an existing TxDOT database. The resulting modified 0-6592 database is referred to here as the 5-6592 database. This implementation report documents the key elements of the 5-6592 database and procedures for updating.
