The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) recently issued surveys requesting feedback from the construction industry on the potential use of project labor agreements (PLAs) for large scale construction projects, exceeding $25 million, within the surrounding area of Redstone, Ala. and Harpers Ferry, W.Va.
All survey responses for the Alabama projects should be submitted to Kelly Hallstrom by close of business May 27.
Those responding to the West Virginia survey should submit materials to Pat Jackson by June 9, no later than 2:00 p.m. (CST).
All ABC members and construction professionals are encouraged to respond to the PLA surveys and tell the USACE that government-mandated PLAs injure competition, increase costs, and will not advance the economy and efficiency in government contracting.
Over the past year, the USACE has issued dozens of similar surveys requesting information about the potential use of PLAs on construction projects in USACE districts nationwide. ABC National has taken the opportunity to respond to surveys as they are issued and is encouraging ABC members to do the same.
