PLA Survey for DLA-SONGS Mesa Reflow, Warehouse, and Admin Renovation Project

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Seattle District is soliciting comments from the construction community regarding the potential use of a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for a large-scale construction project at Camp Pendleton, CA. The project involves repairing, renovating, and installing equipment in a 140,000 sq ft warehouse and renovating approximately 19,000 sq ft of administrative facilities. The construction performance period is estimated at 18 months. The specific scope of work includes remodeling admin facilities, removing and replacing existing items within the warehouses, repairing and leveling concrete slabs, and installing warehouse items. Some key points to consider: • The project will require multiple construction contractors and/or subcontractors employing workers in multiple crafts or trades. • There may be a shortage of skilled labor in the region. • Completion of the project will require an extended period of time. • PLAs have been used on comparable projects undertaken by Federal, State, municipal, or private entities in the geographic area of the project. • A PLA will promote the agency’s long-term program interests, such as facilitating the training of a skilled workforce to meet the agency’s future construction needs.
