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 contract the construction of a barrier fence to limit movement of brown tree snakes, rats, cats, and ungulates such as feral pigs and deer. The barrier fence is approximately 3,790 meters in length and approximately 2.1 meters high. Foundation system consists of direct shallow footings to support the fence posts. Primary structure consists of stainless-steel chain link mesh, stainless-steel fence posts, and stainless-steel hood embedded on top of the fence to prevent snake intrusion into the enclosure. Access pathways and a mainline irrigation pipeline are provided for outplanting efforts and the project also provides vehicular and man-gates for access for monitoring and propagation of desired species The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) may include Subsection 238990 – All Other Specialty Trade Contractors. The magnitude of construction for this project is anticipated to be between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. The estimated completion time is 450 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.
