## Description

This is a request for information/market survey. This is not a request for proposal, request for quote, or an invitation for bid. There will be no solicitation, specification, or drawings available at this time. NAVFAC SE is soliciting comments from the public addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) for the following construction project. The construction project is for a building.

Construction may include, but is not limited to, rehabilitation and 'replace-in-kind' type of work for the Magnetic Silencing Facility (MSF) located at Naval Submarine Base (NSB) Kings Bay, Georgia.

This project will provide structural, electrical, architectural, civil, mechanical, fire protection, and incidental related work for the Pier and Trestle, Pier Equipment Building 5181, Operations Building 5180, Switchgear & Transformer Building 5988, Substation Yard 3, and feeder cables between Substation 3 (Breaker 5052) and Building 5988. Significant restoration and modernization are required to allow MSF to meet its future operational needs. This project includes work to be performed in three construction phases (A, B and C). Project will be design-bid-build.

**NAICS Code:** 236220. The magnitude of construction is anticipated to be $25M – $100M. General period of performance is anticipated to be approximately 793 calendar days. 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 as described in 29 U.S.C. 158 (f). Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) policy states: Executive Order (E.O.)

14063, Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects, requires agencies to use PLAs in large-scale construction projects (defined as a construction projects with a total estimated cost at or above $35M) to promote economy and efficiency in the administration and completion of Federal construction projects.

When awarding a contract in connection with a large-scale construction project, agencies shall require use of a PLA for contractors and subcontractors engaged in construction on the project, unless an exception(s) at FAR 22.504(d) applies. Reference is made to:

FAR Subpart 22.5 Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects; provision, FAR 52.222-33 Notice of Requirement for Project Labor Agreement; and to clause, FAR 52.222-34 Project Labor Agreement. In consideration of the above factors, and any others which may be deemed appropriate, the public is invited to provide responses on the use of a PLA for this construction project utilizing the attached questionnaire.

The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this market survey or otherwise pay for the requested information. The Government will not provide a debriefing on the results of this survey.
