USACE PLA Survey Responses for Federal Project in New Mexico Due Today

0 November 15, 2012  Federal Construction

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Albuquerque District has issued a six question survey requesting comments from the construction industry about the potential use of a project labor agreement (PLA) on a MQ-9 Maintenance Hangar at Holloman Air Force Base in Otero County, New Mexico.

TheTruthAboutPLAs.com encourages the merit shop contracting community to respond to this PLA survey. Tell the USACE that government-mandated PLAs reduce competition, increase costs, and impede the economy and efficiency of government contracting.

Survey responses must be submitted via email to Karen Irving, Contract Specialist, by COB today, Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2012.

USACE 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.
