- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, is soliciting comments from the construction community addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) for a large scale construction project ($25.0M - $100.0M) within the National Capital Region.� The project is to renovate Army family housing on, Fort McNair, DC. There are a total of 11 buildings, located on Fort McNair, that provide flag officer housing and senior non-commissioned officer housing. Over the years the Buildings have deteriorated due to age and lack of proper maintenance. In addition, repair work has resulted in the loss of historical preservation, inadequate floor plans, excessive square footage, and lack of energy efficiencies; therefore, the inventory is currently rated: Installation Status Report � Infrastructure (ISR-I) Red. All 11 buildings are three (3) stories with unfinished basements (to remain unfinished) and have historic character-defining features such as original brick and mortar, original stairwells and millwork, original doors, and slate roofs. Repairs are to be by replacement of new materials unless designated as a historic feature to retain (exterior Flemish-bond brick fa�ade, columns, window trip, doors, stairwells, trim, etc.).The building types, basic specifications, and quantities are as follows: Six (6) flag officer single family buildings; 6,985 GSF per building; built from 1903-1905; located on Fort McNair, Washington, DC; Buildings one (1) through six (6). Five (5) senior non-commissioned officer duplex buildings (total of 10 housing units); 6,047 GSF per building; built from 1905-1908; located on Fort McNair, Washington, DC; Buildings 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27. All building systems and components are to be repaired/salvaged/replaced to include: heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), existing slate roofing, leaking gutters/downspouts, exterior masonry and foundation cracking, exterior windows and doors, porches and exterior stairs, interior ceilings, staircases, flooring (wood/tile/carpet), doors, trim including crown molding and baseboards, removal of over-painting on historic woodwork identified for preservation, interior kitchen and bathrooms (to include cabinets, fixtures, range, hood, fan, etc.), mechanical/electrical/plumbing (replacement of all wiring, panels, piping, and systems), Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, minor repairs to exterior sidewalks, grading for adequate drainage, landscaping, waterproofing for infiltration in basements and stairwells, floor-joists, building structure. Hazardous materials (HAZMAT) were identified during the recent building condition survey and inspection. Removal of Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) and Lead Base Paint (LBP) will be required on all buildings in this repair project IAW governing Federal and State requirements. Radon ventilation may be required. Buildings do not need to be ADA compliant. A PLA is defined as a prehire 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). Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Policy: (a) Project Labor Agreement (PLA) is a tool that agencies may use to promote economy and efficiency in Federal procurement. Pursuant to Executive Order 13502, agencies are encouraged to consider requiring the use of project labor agreements in connection with large-scale construction projects. (b) 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 (1) 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 (2) Be consistent with law. �Reference: Provision: FAR 52.222-33 Notice of Requirement for Project Labor Agreement Clause FAR 52.222-34 Project Labor Agreement. The construction community is invited to comment on the use of PLAs. Of particular interest to the Government are responses to the following questions: (1) Should PLAs be executed on selected large dollar contracts, specifically, to renovate Army family housing on, Fort McNair, DC? (2) Are there concerns by prime contractors on the availability of skilled construction labor? (3) Would a PLA benefit a project which contains a unique and compelling mission-critical schedule? (4) What type of project should not be considered for PLA clauses? (5) What is the time impact to the completion of the contract due to a PLA? (6) What is the cost impact to the bid due to a PLA? (7) What other factors should the Corps consider before deciding to include PLA provisions in a Baltimore Engineer District contract? Responses shall be submitted via email to Aaron Jones at aaron.g.jones@usace.army.mil no later than 12 noon Eastern Standard Time (EST) 23 March 2020.� This is NOT a Request for Proposal and does not constitute any commitment by the Government. Responses to this labor market survey will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition decisions. All interested sources must respond to future solicitation announcements separately from responses to this survey.
