- Description
- PLA Sources Sought number: W9128F22SM040 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District is soliciting comments from the construction community addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) for a large-scale construction project (potentially exceeding $35 million) for the Renovation and Construction of the Aircraft Maintenance Facility Bldg. 649, Grand Forks, North Dakota. Email your responses no later than 2:00 PM central time on 09 August 2022 to michele.a.renkema@usace.army.mil and courtesy copy glenda.a.canty@usace.army.mil. Ensure your response is limited to 5 pages and the Subject Line of your response includes the Notice Identification Number W9128F22SM040. Please provide your contact information in the body of the email. A PLA is defined as a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement between a Prime contractor and 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 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, or certain subcontractors, 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: (i) 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 (ii) Be consistent with law. Reference: FAR 52.222-33 Notice of Requirement for Project Labor Agreement; FAR 52.222-34 Project Labor Agreement. Request responses to the following questions: (1) Do you have knowledge that a PLA has been used in the local area 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 reference project? If so, please elaborate and provide supporting documentation where possible. (3) Are you aware of time sensitive issues/scheduling requirements that would affect 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) Identify any additional information you believe should be considered on the use of a PLA on the referenced project. (7) Identify any additional information you believe should be considered on the non-use of a PLA on the referenced project. The information gathered in this survey should include the following information on projects completed in the last 2 � 5 years: Project Name and Location Detailed Project Description Initial Cost Estimate vs. Actual Final Cost Was the project completed on time? Number of craft trades present on the project Was a PLA used? Were there any challenges experienced during the project? Project Description: Renovate existing hangar (Building 649) for use as an interim Aircraft Operations Facility AOF) and long-term Aircraft Maintenance Facility (AMF), Ground Data Terminal (GDT) pads, and rehabilitate existing airfield pavements utilizing conventional design and construction methods to accommodate the Disaster Resiliency Program (DRP) mission sets. The existing hangar Building 649) is a large three bay hangar that will be used as an interim Aircraft Operations Facility AOF) and long-term as an Aircraft Maintenance Facility (AMF). It is comprised of (3) tow in/tow-out aircraft hangar bays with horizontal sliding pocket doors and is constructed with reinforced concrete foundation/floor slab, structural steel frame, metal panel with CMU exterior and standing seam metal roof system. The AMF will include anti-skid hangar floor coating, installation of an ignitable liquid drainage flooring assembly (ILDFA), aircraft static grounding points, and adequate exhaust and ventilation systems for the capability of aircraft operations inside the hangar. The facilities include the installation of intrusion detection systems and cybersecurity measures for facility-related systems. Airfield pavements in support of the AOF/AMF will be designed �light-load� type and will include concrete hangar access aprons, apron access taxiways, and paved shoulders (asphalt). The GDT equipment pads will be installed and sited to support line of sight operations for certain aircraft. Supporting facilities include the DRP complex primary infrastructure buildout to include the complex-wide site preparations, primary utility mains, water storage, stormwater system, concrete pads with shore power capability for squadron operational equipment placement, and antenna support structures for ground data terminal equipment, and an electrical and communications primary and redundant system network. The project includes all individual building utility service connections, site preparation, apron and taxiway edge lighting, communications, privatized utility connection fees, fire detection and suppression systems, and pavements. The facilities will meet DoD requirements and security protocols for controlled spaces with security sensors and alarms. The DRP complex will include an integrated physical security system consisting of security fences, gates, and electronic security systems to include Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), Access Control Systems (ACS), Closed Circuit Television (CCTV), and security lighting. The project is authorized emergency generators with fuel tanks with automatic transfer switches for each mission-essential facility. Facilities will be designed as permanent construction in accordance with the DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 1-200-01, General Building Requirements, UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements, UFC 4-211-01, Aircraft Maintenance Hangars, UFC 3-260-02, Pavement Design for Airfields, and other UFCs as appropriate. The facility should be compatible with applicable DoD, Air Force, and base design standards. In addition, local materials and construction techniques shall be used when cost effective. This project will comply with DoD antiterrorism / force protection requirements per unified facilities criteria. Special Construction Requirements: Raised flooring as required, and controlled space specifications and construction in accordance with ICD/ICS 705 is necessary for mission-essential primary facilities. The estimated magnitude of construction cost of this project is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000.
