About this file

This file is a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Questionnaire designed to gather market research from potential contractors regarding a construction project at Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek-Fort Story in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The questionnaire consists of seven questions intended to assess contractor interest and capability, market conditions, and the potential impact of implementing a PLA on project costs and labor availability.

The questionnaire requests respondents to identify their business classification (government entity, union/non-union contractor, or qualified small business), evaluate the availability of specialized construction expertise in the region, provide detailed analysis of union and non-union labor availability and market interest, confirm their willingness to participate in the project with or without a PLA requirement, share knowledge of PLA usage on similar regional projects, compare union wage rates to prevailing wage rates under the Construction Wage Rates Requirements statute, and identify potential cost increases resulting from PLA implementation. The responses will inform the government's decision regarding the method of acquisition for the Design-Bid-Build repair project for the Ammo Wharf, Dogleg, and Piers 56-59, with preference for small business set-asides including service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), HUB-Zone certified firms, 8(a) certified businesses, and women-owned small businesses (WOSB).
