About this file
This document contains a market survey questionnaire regarding the potential use of a Project Labor Agreement for an upcoming Navy construction project. The project involves constructing facilities at the Lighterage and Small Craft Facility on Blount Island in Jacksonville, Florida, including a berthing wharf, access trestles, lift-launch pier, floating dock, and operations building. The estimated value is between $250-500 million with a 665 calendar day period of performance. Responses to the attached questionnaire are requested by January 31, 2024 to help determine if an exception to the mandatory use of a PLA is warranted. The Navy will use the information for planning purposes only and does not intend to award a contract based on the survey responses.
