The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has issued three surveys requesting information from the construction industry on the potential use of project labor agreements (PLAs) on projects in Texas and Kentucky.
All ABC members and construction professionals are encouraged to respond to the requests for information and tell the USACE that government-mandated PLAs harm competition, increase costs, and impede the economy and efficiency of government contracting.
For the survey regarding construction of a maintenance hangar at Fort Hood, Texas, responses must be submitted to ladell.p.barnes@usace.army.mil by 2 p.m. (CST) on Feb. 26.
For the survey regarding construction of the third phase of a multi-story ambulatory care center at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, responses must be submitted to alisa.marshall@usace.army.mil no later than close of business (CST) on Feb. 24.
For the survey regarding the design and construction of a standard design Engineer Battalion Complex in Fort Knox, Ky., responses must be submitted to misty.d.jones@usace.army.mil by 11 a.m. (EST) on Feb. 22.
During the past several months, federal agencies have issued dozens of similar surveys requesting information about the potential use of PLAs on federal construction projects in regions nationwide. ABC National has taken the opportunity to respond to all PLA surveys as they are issued and encourages its members to do the same.
