Tell NAVFAC NO to Project Labor Agreement at Quantico
Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Washington has issued a survey requesting information from the construction industry on the potential use of a project labor agreement (PLA) for the construction of a four-story secure high-rise facility addition in Quantico, Va.
TheTruthAboutPLAs.com encourages the merit shop contracting community to respond to the request for information and tell the USACE that government-mandated PLAs harm competition, increase costs, and impede the economy and efficiency of government contracting.
Responses to the survey must be submitted by Aug. 8 at 2:00 p.m. (EST) to David Morgan or Cyndi Crowder.
NAVFAC and other federal agencies have issued dozens of similar surveys requesting information about the potential use of PLAs on specific construction projects across the country as a result of regulations and federal agency policies stemming from President Obama’s pro-government-mandated PLA Executive Order 13502, which encourages federal agencies to mandate PLAs on a case-by-case basis for federal construction projects exceeding $25 million in total cost.
ABC National has taken the opportunity to respond to all PLA surveys as they are issued and encourages the merit shop contracting community to do the same. Responding with accurate and timely information is critical and effective at creating more work for qualified merit shop contractors and their skilled employees
