Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Notice for the Construction Services of Crowninshield/Cressy Pier and Waterfront Building at USMMA Kings Point, NY
The New York District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting market analysis only—not a solicitation or award commitment—to assess Project Labor Agreement use for construction of the Crowninshield/Cressy Pier and Waterfront Building at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY. The future construction project is estimated at $100 million to $120 million and is planned for solicitation in fall 2027, with construction beginning early 2028, notice to proceed anticipated around February 2028, and an approximately 730-calendar-day duration. Scope includes demolition/removal of existing pier remnants and wave attenuators, a new pier and waterfront building, restored dock space, training/lab facilities, lifeboat launch/recovery, recreational waterfront uses, and accessibility/design-standard compliance. The acquisition approach anticipates early contractor involvement through the federal Integrated Design and Construction framework, with the solicitation issued at approximately 15% design and work performed within an access-controlled installation alongside occupied facilities requiring precise planning. Interested construction community members are invited to provide information on PLA experience, labor availability, cost impacts, scheduling, and small-business considerations to inform the government’s acquisition strategy.
