<p><strong>THIS IS A PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT (PLA) SURVEY ONLY.</strong></p>

<p>*****No proposals are being requested or accepted with this PLA notice.*****</p>

<p>This is a SPECIAL NOTICE. The Corps of Engineers Louisville District is soliciting comments from the construction community addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for a large-scale construction project ($35 million or more) for the following:</p>

<p><strong>Project scope:</strong> This project is a Design-Bid-Build and will construct a collocated Area Maintenance Support Activity (AMSA) and Vehicle Maintenance Shop (VMS) on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska.

Supporting facilities include land clearing, paving, concrete aprons, vehicle wash rack/platform, bi-level equipment loading ramp, fencing, general site improvements and utility connections. Accessibility for the disabled will be provided. Antiterrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) and physical security measures will be incorporated into the design including maximum standoff distances from roads, parking areas and vehicle unloading areas.</p>

<p></p>

<p>Contract duration is estimated at 1,095 calendar days.</p>

<p></p>

<p>The estimated cost range is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000.&nbsp; NAICS code is 236220.</p>

<p></p>

<p>A PLA is defined as a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with one or more labor organizations that establishes the terms and conditions of employment for a specific construction project and is an agreement described in 29 U.S.C. 158(f). &nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Policy:</p>

<p>1. FAR 22.502 requires agencies to use Project Labor Agreement (PLA) in large-scale construction projects to promote economy and efficiency in the administration and completion of Federal construction projects.</p>

<p>2. An agency may, if appropriate, require that every contractor and subcontractor engaged in construction on the project agree, for that project, to negotiate or become a party to a project labor agreement with one or more labor organizations if the agency decides that the use of project labor agreements will: &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>1)&nbsp;Advance the Federal Governments interest in achieving economy and efficiency in Federal procurement, producing labor-management stability, and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations governing safety and health, equal employment opportunity, labor and employment standards, and other matters; and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>2) Be consistent with law.</p>

<p>3. In consideration of the above factors, and any others which may be deemed appropriate, the construction community is invited to comment on the use of PLAs. &nbsp;<strong>Of particular interest to the Government are responses to the following questions: </strong></p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Project Name and Location </strong></li>

<li><strong>Were there any challenges experienced during the project?</strong></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Please select one of the following:</strong>
<ul>

<p></p>

<p>4. In addition to affirmative responses, we are seeking negative responses to identify any potential actions we may take to improve the competitive environment.
