The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting market research on the potential use of a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for a large-scale construction project at Brandon Road in Joliet, Illinois, with an estimated cost of $35 million or more. The project involves constructing a flushing lock and a 1,600-foot concrete guidewall to reduce the risk of aquatic nuisance species passage. Responses to this survey are due by 12:00 P.M. CST on June 16, 2026. The government is seeking industry feedback on local PLA usage, skilled labor availability, scheduling concerns, and cost impacts of a PLA requirement. This is not a solicitation; interested parties must respond separately to any future solicitation.
