PRIMARY RUNWAY AND PAVEMENT REPAIRS LOCATED AT JOINT RESERVE BASE NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA.

The Naval Facilities Engineering System Command (NAVFAC) Southeast is soliciting comments from the public on the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) for a construction project at Joint Reserve Base New Orleans, Louisiana. The project involves primary runway and pavement repairs, including full-depth reconstruction of pavement sections, asphalt pavement mill and overlay, and re-striping of the runway. The project is anticipated to be a design-bid-build project with a magnitude of construction between $25M and $100M. The general period of performance is expected to be approximately 1,110 calendar days. • The project may include specialized construction available from only a limited number of contractors or subcontractors. • The requirement of a PLA under this project may impact the interest of contractors in participating. • The project is subject to the Davis-Bacon Act, which requires prevailing wage rates. • The use of a PLA may increase costs on the project. • The public is invited to provide responses to a questionnaire on the use of a PLA for this construction project.
