- PLA Market Research Notice This is a PROJECT-LABOR AGREEMENT MARKET RESEARCH NOTICE, to generate market research on the applicability of a project labor agreement for the Modernization of Pier 2 project at MOTCO, CA. NO AWARD will be made from this notice. Interested parties are invited to provide feedback and information relative to project labor agreements to Contract Specialist Daniel Czech at daniel.e.czech@usace.army.mil. BACKGROUND The Sacramento District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has an upcoming project for the modernization of Pier 2 to be located on the tidal side of the installation at Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO), Concord, CA. This construction effort is critical and must be performed in-between on-going missions. The required work elements include, but may not be limited to the following: demolition of all existing timber portions of the pier (includes both the main platform and western trestle, estimated to be roughly 159,000 square feet) while rebuilding these pier features using a concrete structure by way of pile driving, formwork, and concrete placement. The modernization through the use of a new concrete structure shall occupy roughly 79% of its original footprint and will incorporate the existing east trestle. Work performance will include working within a marine environment where there is sensitivity to existing habitat/s and their environment/s, which is fostered by the performance/existence of an Environmental Impact Statement that resulted in the finalization of a Record of Decision (ROD) outlining criteria for the construction effort. In addition, there is the potential for encountering unexploded ordnance during the performance of construction repairs, which will require the presence of safety personnel (Munitions of Explosive Concern {MEC} Safety Personnel) during the performance of the modernization. Finally, this construction effort may require multiple mobilizations in order to accommodate an on-going mission schedule, which will prohibit construction/occupation all non-essential personnel from occupying the tidal side of the installation during a mission. In accordance with DFARS 236.204(ii), the estimated value of the resulting contract is expected to be between $25M and $100M. The resulting contract type is expected to be a Firm-Fixed Price. The NAICS Code is 237990, the size standard is $36.5 million, and the Federal Supply Code is Z2QA, Repair or Alteration of Real Property. PROJECT-LABOR AGREEMENTS BACKGROUND: A project labor agreement 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). Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 22.503 Policy provides that: (a) Project Labor Agreements are 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. (Refer also to FAR 52.222-33 Notice of Requirement for Project Labor Agreement and FAR 52.222-34 Project Labor Agreement). Interested parties are encouraged to submit information regarding project labor agreements, including answering the following questions.
