About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District has issued a special notice soliciting comments from the construction community regarding the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for a large-scale military construction project at the LTC Luis E. Martinez Army Reserve Center in Perrine, Florida. This notice is specifically for a PLA market survey only and does not constitute a request for proposals or accept any construction bids. The project involves the renovation and modernization of a 1,600-member Army Reserve Center, including alteration of an existing 78,625 square foot training building and construction of new Area Maintenance Support Activity (AMSA) and Vehicle Maintenance Shop (VMS) facilities. The estimated project value ranges between $25 million and $100 million, falling under NAICS code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The notice was posted on August 15, 2025, with responses due by September 2, 2025.
The primary purpose of this special notice is to gather industry input on whether a Project Labor Agreement should be implemented for this Design/Bid/Build construction project that exceeds the $35 million threshold typically associated with PLA consideration. Construction contractors and industry stakeholders have until September 2, 2025, to submit their comments addressing the potential use of PLAs for this project. The project scope encompasses comprehensive facility improvements including building demolition, land clearing, new construction, security enhancements, accessibility compliance, and sustainability measures designed for a minimum 40-year lifespan in accordance with DoD Unified Facilities Criteria. No specific eligibility criteria are outlined in this survey notice, as it appears open to all members of the construction community who wish to provide feedback on PLA implementation. The facility will incorporate antiterrorism force protection measures, cybersecurity elements, and energy efficiency standards as part of the modernization effort.

THIS IS A PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT (PLA) SURVEY ONLY. No proposals are being requested or accepted with this PLA notice.
Description: The Corps of Engineers Louisville District is soliciting comments from the construction community addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for a large-scale construction project (exceeding $35 million) for the following:
Project Scope: This project is a Design/Bid/Build requirement from the LTC Luis E. Martinez ARC for the Renovation of Army Reserve Center (ARC) & Construction of Area Maintenance Support Activity (AMSA). Reconfigure and modernize the 1600-member LTC Luis E. Martinez Army Reserve Center (ARC) located in Perrine, Florida. Primary facilities include alteration and renovation of the existing 78,625 square foot LTC Luis E. Martinez ARC training building, construction of a new collocated Area Maintenance Support Activity (AMSA) and Vehicle Maintenance Shop (VMS), and new Organizational Storage Building. Supporting facilities include land clearing, building demolition, paving, concrete aprons, vehicle wash rack/platform, bilevel equipment loading ramp, mobile kitchen trailer pad, SATS Trailer canopy, fencing, general site improvements and utility connections. Accessibility for the disabled will be provided. Antiterrorism force protection and physical security measures will be incorporated into the design including maximum standoff distances from roads, parking areas and vehicle unloading areas. Cyber Security Measures will be incorporated into this project. Sustainability/Energy measures will be provided. Facilities will be designed to a minimum life of 40 years in accordance with DoD's Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 1- 200-02) including energy efficiencies, building envelope and integrated building systems performance.
The estimated cost range is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. NAICS code is 236220.
A PLA is defined as a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with one or more labor organizations that establishes the terms and conditions of employment for a specific construction project and is an agreement described in 29 U.S.C. 158(f). Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Policy:
- FAR 22.502 requires agencies to use Project Labor Agreement (PLA) in large-scale construction projects to promote economy and efficiency in the administration and completion of Federal construction projects.
- An agency may, if appropriate, require that every contractor and subcontractor engaged in construction on the project agree, for that project, to negotiate or become a party to a project labor agreement with one or more labor organizations if the agency decides that the use of project labor agreements will:
a. Advance the Federal Governments interest in achieving economy and efficiency in Federal procurement, producing labor-management stability, and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations governing safety and health, equal employment opportunity, labor and employment standards, and other matters; and
b. Be consistent with law.
References: Provision: 52.222-33 Notice of Requirement for Project Labor Agreement; Clause: 52.222-34 Project Labor Agreement.
In consideration of the above factors, and any others which may be deemed appropriate, the construction community is invited to comment on the use of PLAs. Of particular interest to the Government are responses to the following questions:
1. Do you have knowledge that a PLA has been used in the local area on projects of this kind? If so, please provide supporting documentation.
2. Are you aware of skilled labor shortages in the region for those crafts that will be needed to complete the referenced project? If so, please elaborate and provide supporting documentation where possible.
3. Are you aware of time sensitive issues/scheduling requirements that would affect the rate at which the referenced project should be completed? If so, please elaborate and provide supporting documentation where possible.
4. Identify specific reasons why or how you believe a PLA would advance the Federal Governments interest in achieving economy and efficiency in federal procurement.
5. Identify specific reasons why you do not believe a PLA would advance the Federal Governments interest in achieving economy and efficiency in federal procurement.
6. Identify any additional information you believe should be considered on the use of a PLA on the referenced project.
7. Identify any additional information you believe should be considered on the non-use of a PLA on the referenced project.
8. What cost impact do you expect if PLA requirements are included?
9. Please select one of the following:
a. My company will not submit a proposal if PLA is required.
b. My company plans to submit a proposal whether PLA is required or not.
c. My company only plans to submit a proposal if PLA is required.
In addition to affirmative responses, we are seeking negative responses to identify any potential actions we may take to improve the competitive environment. Please provide a response with feedback including rationale for not wanting to submit a proposal and any recommendations that could promote interest.
Please provide your comments via e-mail to Alex.J.Hamilton@usace.army.mil no later than 12:00 PM Eastern Time on 02 September 2025.
