This is not a request for proposal, request for quote, or invitation for bid. There will not be a solicitation, specification, or drawings available at this time. NAVFAC Pacific is soliciting comments from the construction community addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) for the titled project above. Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Pacific, Construction Contracts Division, is seeking to package two (2) projects into a single contract for the construction (design-build) of Andersen Housing Phase VII, and VIII in Andersen Guam. Projects are to construct 103 duplex units total of three bedroom or four bedroom single-story family houses for enlisted personnel to support the housing requirement of the military personnel at Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Blaz and Andersen Air Force Base (AAFB). Phase VII will construct up to 46 family units and Phase VIII will construct up to 57 family units. The houses will be reinforced concrete roofs, walls, frames and floors supported by concrete spread footings. The houses are designed to withstand the hot and humid environment of Guam, typhoon winds and strong earthquakes. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) may include Subsection 236116 – New Multifamily Housing Construction. The magnitude of construction for this project is anticipated to be between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000. The estimated completion time is 606 days. 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 as described in 29 U.S.C. 158 (f). Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Policy states: Project Labor Agreement (PLA) is a tool that agencies may use to promote economy and efficiency in Federal procurement. Pursuant to Executive Order 13502, agencies are encouraged to consider requiring the use of project labor agreements in connection with large-scale 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 (1) advance the Federal Government's 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 (2) be consistent with law. Reference is made to provision, FAR 52.222-33 Notice of Requirement for Project Labor Agreement, and to clause, FAR 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 for this project. Of particular interest to the Government requests completion of the attached Project Details. This is not an announcement of the availability of a solicitation nor is it a means of generating a plan holders’ list. After review of the responses to this synopsis, a pre-solicitation announcement will be published on the beta.sam.gov website if the Government intends to proceed with the procurement of this project. The Government will not contact the responders for clarification of information provided. This survey is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a Request for Proposal or as an obligation on the part of the Government. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this market survey or otherwise pay for the requested information. The Government will not provide a debriefing on the results of this survey. All information will be held in a confidential manner and will only be used for the purposes intended. The construction community is invited to answer and comment on the use of a PLA for the above titled project. Responses shall be submitted via email to Kylee Chun at kylee.k.chun.civ@us.navy.mil no later than 2:00 p.m. (HST) on December 14, 2022.
