This is not a request for proposal, request for quote, or an invitation for bids. A solicitation, specifications, or drawings are not available at this time. This is a SPECIAL NOTICE. No proposals are being requested or accepted with this notice. The Corps of Engineers Walla Walla District is conducting this market research to gather pertinent information to help the contracting officer determine whether a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for a large scale construction contract (exceeding $35 million) is appropriate for this project. The Government does not currently anticipate that this project will meet or exceed the $35 million threshold. However, whether a PLA is necessary depends on the price of the received proposals. If the proposals received exceed $35 million, the responses to this market survey will be used to determine whether requiring a PLA is appropriate for the project. 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). Interested parties are requested to respond to this PLA Special Notice with the following information: (1) Do you have knowledge that a PLA has been used in the local area on projects of this kind? If so, please provide a list of recent (2-5 years) construction projects in the local labor market of the project under consideration. Include the following items: Project Name/Location; Detailed Project Description; Initial Cost Estimate/Actual Final Cost; Was the project completed on time; Number of craft trades present on the project; Was a PLA used? (Y/N); Were there any challenges experienced during the project (delays, investigations, health and safety issues, labor shortages, management/organizational issues, etc.)? (2) Are you aware of skilled labor shortages in the area for those crafts that will be needed to complete the project? If so please elaborate and provide supporting documentation where possible. Are there other projects in the vicinity that could limit the pool of skilled labor available for this project? (3) Are you aware of time sensitive issues/scheduling requirements that would impact the rate at which the project should be completed? If so, please elaborate and provide supporting documentation where possible. (4)Identify specific reasons why or how you believe a PLA would advance the Federal Government's interest in achieving economy and efficiency in federal procurement. (5) Identify specific reasons why you do not believe a PLA would advance the Federal Government's interest in achieving economy and efficiency in federal procurement. (6) Please identify any additional information you believe should be considered on the use of a PLA on the referenced project. (7) Please identify any additional information you believe should be considered on the non-use of a PLA on the referenced project.
