Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Questionnaire designed to gather market research feedback from potential contractors regarding a VA construction solicitation at Perry Point, MD. The questionnaire does not address specific products or services but rather seeks industry input on the feasibility and impact of implementing a PLA requirement on the EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades Construction project.

The questionnaire consists of seven primary questions requesting contractors to assess their familiarity with PLAs, willingness to bid on PLA-required projects, anticipated cost impacts (percentage increase or decrease), effects on competition, and potential subcontractor resistance. The survey also requests detailed information from firms with prior PLA experience, specifically regarding cost increases, labor shortages, pricing accuracy, schedule performance, and craftsmanship quality compared to non-union projects. This market research tool is intended to inform the Department of Veterans Affairs' decision-making regarding PLA implementation for the Perry Point construction project, which encompasses infrastructure upgrades including fiber installation, electrical outlet upgrades, HVAC modifications, security assessments, space reconfiguration, and hazardous material abatement across multiple buildings at the VA Medical Center in Perry Point, Maryland.
