The Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in excess of $2,000 to
which the United States or the District of Columbia is a party for construction, alteration, or
repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works with the United
States, shall contain a clause that no laborer or mechanic employed directly upon the site of the
work shall received less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor.
The requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act do not apply if the construction work is incidental to
the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or services. For example, the requirements do not apply to
simple installation or alteration of a public building or public work that is incidental to furnishing
supplies or equipment under a supply contract. However, if the construction, alteration or repair
is segregable and exceeds $2,000, then the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act applies.
The ordering activity issuing the task order against this contract will be responsible for proper
administration and enforcement of the Federal labor standards covered by the Davis-Bacon Act.
The proper Davis-Bacon wage determination will be issued by the ordering activity at the time a
request for quotations is made for applicable construction classified installation, deinstallation,
and reinstallation services under SIN 132-8.

This 5-day course is designed to give SharePoint Administrators basic and
intermediate information and skills they need to design, deploy and manage a
Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 implementation.
It is nearly impossible to introduce all of the SharePoint features into an
organization without impacting the business culture and current business
processes. While the Summit is not a project management course per se, we will
highlight planning decisions that should be addressed either before or early on in a
SharePoint deployment. Most of these decisions will impact your organizations
business processes. Because most mid- and upper-level technical employees are
ill-equipped to manage culture change, it is in your organizations best interest to
send a second, managerial-level person to this Summit to gain insight into how this
software will change your business process and business culture through learning
about the planning decisions that should be addressed as part of an outstanding
SharePoint deployment.
This 5-day course will focus on how to alter the underpinnings and exploit Windows
SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server 2003 for application developers.
Be sure to check out the prerequisites as we technically wade in pretty deep.
This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience and learn about SharePoint
Portal Server 2003 and Windows SharePoint Services.
We provide an overview of SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) and Windows
SharePoint Services (WSS). The more you understand about SharePoint out-ofthe-box, the easier it will be for you to bend those rules. That said, it is by no means
required that you be SharePoint savvy.

Most large companies and organizations that rely heavily on software in business
operations, employ Business Analysts to communicate business needs to software
developers. When analysts do not carry out their jobs effectively, the result is
incomplete or incorrect requirements -- leading causes of spiraling development
costs and project delays.
Learn how to cut costs and delays by improving communication between business
stakeholders and developers through comprehensive requirements analysis and
documentation and by guaranteeing results through structured testing and quality
assurance. This 2-day course will cover all aspects of the Business Analyst role

Confusion over the level of detail to include in the written requirements
Lack of practical advice for running requirements-gathering sessions
Take this 2-day course for solutions to the above problems and for practical
experience in employing this state-of-the-art technology to the business analysis
phase of a project. You'll get hand-on experience in gathering and documenting
user requirements for IT systems using the use case approach and the UML 2.0
standard including business modeling extensions. Working in small groups, you will
step through a complex case study, learning to take a project from inception to the
completion of business requirements. The result of this experiential learning
experience is a skill-set that can be effectively applied on the job. In keeping with
the practical nature of the course, the content course draws from direct experience
working in a variety of sectors, including banking, accounting, call centers,
education and NGOs. Best practices and common pitfalls in applying these
techniques are factored into the course.
By taking this course, you will be able to facilitate Use-Case RJAD (Requirements
Joint Application Development) sessions, conduct requirements-gathering
interviews and document user requirements using the latest developments in Use
Case Technology. You will also learn how to best structure the requirements for
optimal reuse and ease of maintenance through the use of advanced use case
diagramming and documentation features such as extensions and inclusions.
Solutions for handling common business scenarios are also covered, including
customer IVR identification, CRUD (Create/Read/Update/Delete processes), login,
technological variations, customer self-service and geographical sub-sites within an
e-commerce application.
In an effort to shorten time-to-market and to uncover bugs early, IT organizations
are increasingly using a style of project management called iterative development.
The new strategy is to develop software in small cycles of analysis, design and
coding - rather than doing all the up-front work before coding begins. To work
effectively in this environment, Business Analysts need to be familiar with the
fundamentals of this approach and the BA role in producing key deliverables,
managing risk and estimating resources for an iterative project. This 2-day course
covers everything the Business Analyst needs to know to work effectively within a
team employing iterative development as a project management methodology.
Working in small groups, you will step through a case study learning when and how
to perform BA activities and create deliverables at various phases of the iterative
life cycle. You will also gain hands-on computer experience using RUP software - a
popular iterative methodology produced by IBM/ Rational.
