About this file
This document contains a market survey assessing the use of a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for the Replace Andersen Housing Phase X project. The project involves residential construction with an estimated cost of $50 million over two years. It will require trades such as carpentry, electrical, plumbing and others. The market survey evaluates the local labor pool and union presence to determine if a PLA could help ensure an adequate skilled workforce while minimizing costs and risks. Specifically, the survey considers the size of the local labor market, experience with comparable projects, expiration of existing collective bargaining agreements during the project, prevailing wage rates, unionization levels, and potential impact on costs and efficiencies from using a PLA, such as coordinated work shifts and holidays between trades. It also relates to a federal contract opportunity with the Navy to solicit construction services for Andersen Housing Phases IX and X.
