PLA Survey - ERCIP Lake City Army Ammunition Plant Microgrid and Backup Power

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District is soliciting comments from the construction community on the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for a large-scale construction project at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Missouri. The project involves the design-bid-build construction of a microgrid system powered by two 7.5 MW combined heat and power (CHP) combustion turbines. The project will include all electrical distribution equipment and underground duct bank needed to connect to the existing electrical infrastructure. The construction community is invited to comment on the use of PLAs, including responses to questions about the potential impact of PLAs on the project. • The project is valued at over $35 million • The project involves the construction of a microgrid system and backup power • The project will include electrical distribution equipment and underground duct bank • The project will involve site improvements, demolition, full air permitting, communications, and full commissioning • The project will include the use of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and industrial grade controls • The project will include environmental controls through the use of low NOx turbines and duct burners
