About this file
This document is a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Request for Information (RFI) for a construction project at Naval Station Newport in Rhode Island. The project involves demolishing an existing condemned Navy pier (1,570' x 100') and constructing a new pier (1,000' x 80') to support four Offshore Patrol Cutters (OPCs), along with associated infrastructure including a new bulkhead, laydown area, parking, utilities, and other site improvements.
The RFI seeks industry feedback through a seven-question questionnaire targeting government entities, unions, contractors, and small businesses. The project is estimated to cost between $100M-$250M with an anticipated performance period of approximately 1,000 calendar days. In accordance with Executive Order 14063, the government is exploring the use of a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for this large-scale construction project, and is soliciting input on labor availability, contractor interest, potential cost implications, and comparative wage rates. This is a market survey and not a formal solicitation, with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic serving as the managing agency.
