About this file

This document is a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Request for Information (RFI) for a major renovation project at King Hall Building 291, located at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island. The Navy is seeking market input on potential use of a Project Labor Agreement for a design-build renovation estimated between $100M-$250M with a performance period of approximately 1,000 calendar days. The comprehensive renovation scope includes hazardous materials abatement, building envelope repairs, mechanical/electrical/plumbing system upgrades, life safety improvements, exterior site enhancements, elevator installation, seismic structural improvements, and interior space reconfigurations for a 172,000 square foot, four-story dormitory building.

The RFI questionnaire solicits responses from government entities, unions, contractors, and small businesses regarding labor availability, specialized construction capabilities, potential project participation, union wage comparisons, and potential cost implications of a Project Labor Agreement. Responses are required via email to catharine.a.keeling.civ@us.navy.mil by 2:00 P.M. local time on 11 August 2025. The Navy emphasizes this is a planning-stage market survey, not a solicitation, and responses will be held confidentially. The project falls under NAICS Code 236220 and is subject to Executive Order 14063 requiring Project Labor Agreements for federal construction projects exceeding $35 million.
