- Description
- Market research for use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) for Replace Hydrant Fuel System, Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. This project will provide a new Type III Hydrant Fuel System meeting the design requirements of the Department of Defense "Pressurized Hydrant Fueling System, Type III, July 2010", and other design requirements of UFC 3-460-01 - Fuel Facility Design. The project will provide for fueling and defueling capability at three (3) bomber aircraft parking positions via hydrant hose trucks (HHTs). Additionally, fueling capability for twenty-five (25) revetment positions for fighter aircraft will be provided via hose end pantographs with non-lubricated swivel joints. The project will consist of the following elements: • Fuel transfer line from the nearby Kinder-Morgan area • Two (2) 10,000 BBL JET A operating fuel storage tanks • Hydrant fuel system piping, pump shelter, and filtration equipment. • Three (3) positions for fueling/defueling bomber aircraft • Twenty-five (25) revetment positions for fueling fighter aircraft • Back-up generator for emergency power • Product Recovery Tank • Hydrant Hose Truck (HHT) Check-Out Station • Two (2) truck fillstand positions with protective canopy • High point vent and low point drain pits. • Isolation valve pits • Parking area for two (2) HHT's and six (6) tanker trucks •Supporting facilities including utilities, site improvements, pavements, and communications The project will include demolition work at the airfield and will include the removal of the asphalt shoulder and concrete pavement along the route of the new fuel hydrant loop. Pavement demolition will be a very critical stage of construction and measures will be taken to preserve the integrity of the pavement to remain. The removal is necessary for the installation of the new hydrant loop and hydrant outlet pits. In addition to the pavement removal, existing pits associated with the existing fuel lines will be removed. After the existing facility is operational, the existing tank site shall be demolished and removed with the site filled and graded to match the existing surrounding terrain. The existing underground fuel lines beneath the pavements will be abandoned in place. The Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District is soliciting comments from the construction community addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) from large scale construction projects (exceeding $25 million) within the state of Nevada to include Nellis Air Force Base. 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 Government's 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 Be consistent with law. Reference: Provision 52.222-33 Notice of Requirement for Project Labor Agreement and 52.222-34 Project Labor Agreement. Please provide responses to any or all of the following questions: 1. Do you have knowledge that a PLA has been used in the local area at Nellis Air Force Base on projects of this kind? If so, please provide supporting documentation? 2. Are you aware of skilled labor shortages in the area for those crafts that will be needed to complete the referenced project? If so please elaborate and provide supporting documentation where possible. 3. Are you aware of time sensitive issues/scheduling requirements that would impact the rate at which the referenced 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 Governments interest in achieving economy and efficiency in federal procurement. 5. Identify specific reasons why you do not believe a PLA would advance the Federal Governments 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. Please limit your responses to no more than two (2) to three (3) pages in length. Please provide your comments via email to Christina Chavez, Contract Specialist, at Christina.chavez@usace.army.mil no later than 19 February 2016.
