About this file
This document is a PLA (Project Labor Agreement) Survey Questions template designed to gather stakeholder input regarding the use of a Project Labor Agreement on a federal construction project.
The survey consists of 14 primary questions and supporting data collection requirements. Questions 1-3 address existing PLA usage in the local area, skilled labor shortages for required trades, and time-sensitive scheduling issues, with requests for supporting documentation. Questions 4-6 solicit opinions on whether a PLA would advance the Federal Government's interest in economy and efficiency in procurement, as well as any additional considerations. Questions 7-8 address bidding intentions under both PLA and non-PLA scenarios and request detailed cost impact analysis. Questions 9-14 focus on subcontractor availability and impact, including effects on the pool of available subcontractors, preferred subcontractor relationships, anticipated refusals by key subcontractors by trade, and expected price increases or decreases as a percentage. The survey also requires respondents to provide historical project data from the last 2-5 years including project name and location, detailed description, initial cost estimates versus actual final costs, on-time completion status, number of craft trades involved, PLA usage, and challenges experienced. This template is intended to inform the Government's decision-making process regarding PLA requirements for a specific federal construction project.
