Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Market Survey - Construction of Microgrid at Fort Sill, OK

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District is soliciting comments from the construction community regarding the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for a large-scale construction project at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The project involves the design-bid-build construction of a power generation and smart microgrid system with a base scope of a 10.3MW natural gas reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE) power plant. The system will provide energy resilience for at least 14 days to mission-critical functions utilizing fossil fuel to support Fort Sill. The construction community is invited to comment on the use of PLAs, and the government is interested in responses to several questions, including the potential cost impacts of a PLA requirement and any previous experience with PLAs. • The project is a large-scale construction project exceeding $35 million. • The project involves the construction of a power generation and smart microgrid system. • The system will provide energy resilience for at least 14 days to mission-critical functions. • The construction community is invited to comment on the use of PLAs. • The government is interested in responses to several questions, including the potential cost impacts of a PLA requirement and any previous experience with PLAs.
