Facilities will be designed to a minimum life of 40 years in accordance with DoD's Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 1-200-02) including energy efficiencies, building envelope and integrated building systems performance. 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). �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: 52.222-33 Notice of Requirement for Project Labor Agreement Clause 52.222-34 Project Labor Agreement. In consideration of the above factors, and any others which may be deemed appropriate, the construction community is invited to comment on the use of PLAs. �Of particular interest to the Government are responses to the following questions: a. �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. b. �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. c. �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. d. �Identify specific reasons why or how you believe a PLA would advance the Federal Governments interest in achieving economy and efficiency in federal procurement. e. �Identify specific reasons why you do not believe a PLA would advance the Federal Governments interest in achieving economy and efficiency in federal procurement. f. �Identify any additional information you believe should be considered on the use of a PLA on the referenced project. g. �Identify any additional information you believe should be considered on the non-use of a PLA on the referenced project.
