- This is a project labor agreement survey only. This is not a request for proposal, request for quote, or invitation for bid. There will not be a solicitation, specifications, or drawings available at this time. This is a SPECIAL NOTICE. No proposals are being requested or accepted with this notice. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, is soliciting comments from the construction community addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) for a large scale construction project (exceeding $35 million) at Redstone Arsenal, AL. Description of Work: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, anticipates conversion of approximately 163,466 SF of existing administrative space in Von Braun IV on Redstone Arsenal to data center; Research, Development, Testing and Engineer (RDT&E) laboratories; and updated administrative space for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Missile Defense System (MDS) mission. The existing facility is a five-story reinforced concrete and structural steel building on concrete footings, pre-cast wall panels, and build-up roofs. Required functional areas include RDT&E laboratory space, data center/computer operations, administrative space, meeting rooms, access control, break rooms, and storage areas. New construction includes a 1,722 SF exterior stairwell and a 14,138 SF one-story building expansion to house electrical gear for the new data center.� Supporting facilities includes high efficiency mechanical systems, electrically driven chillers, fire pumps, electrical supply and distribution, and uninterruptable power supplies and standby generators for mission critical loads. The project also includes domestic water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, electrical substation modifications, primary power transmission, natural gas and electrical services, fire protection and alarm systems, connectivity to telecommunications network and distributed service, modification of utility yard access roads, chilled water distribution, physical security, new mechanical and electrical equipment yards, and other site improvements. Accessibility will be provided in accordance with ADA-ABA guidelines. Antiterrorism force protection measures include building standoff distances, lighting, bollards, control gates and berms. 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). Accordingly, Offerors are requested to respond to this Special Notice regarding PLA 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 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) 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. Interested offerors shall respond to this Special Notice no later than 05 May 2023. E-mail your response to jillian.e.saffle@usace.army.mil and kenneth.p.harlan@usace.army.mil.
