About this file

This document is a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Request for Information (RFI) questionnaire for a construction project at Naval Submarine Station in Groton, Connecticut. The questionnaire seeks input from potential contractors, unions, and businesses regarding a $100-250 million project to construct six Containerized Long Weapons Storage (CLWS) magazines, two Type G and one Type H earth-covered high-explosive magazines, an Ordnance Operations building, and a Sentry building. The project also involves demolishing 18 existing magazines and includes site preparations like rock excavation, grading, wetlands mitigation, and infrastructure improvements. The Navy is specifically soliciting detailed feedback on seven key areas, including labor availability, contractor interest, wage rates, potential cost implications, and previous PLA experiences in the region. The project is anticipated to have a performance period of approximately 1,400 calendar days and will follow a Design-Bid-Build (DBB) approach, with NAICS Code 237220.
