Construct Consolidated Parachute Rigging Facility- PLA

This Special Notice from the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Seattle requests industry comments on the potential use of a Project Labor Agreement for construction of a consolidated Parachute Rigging Facility at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state. The project scope involves building a concrete foundation and metal structure facility totaling between $25-100 million.

The Special Notice poses a series of questions to industry regarding use of a PLA on this project. Respondents are asked to provide any evidence of previous PLAs used locally on similar projects, documentation of skilled labor shortages in required crafts, or time sensitive scheduling needs. Respondents are also asked to detail reasons why a PLA would or would not advance the Federal Government's interests in economy, efficiency and regulatory compliance. No proposals, bids or quotes are being requested at this time. Responses will be used to inform the Government's acquisition decisions for the construction of a consolidated Parachute Rigging Facility at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
