USACE PLA Survey for Project at New Mexico’s Cannon Air Force Base Due Feb. 22
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is soliciting comments from the construction industry about the potential use of a government-mandated project labor agreement (PLA) on a two-story 100,000 square-feet replacement medical and dental clinic at Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico.
Comments should be submitted to Kathleen Mayer, [email protected], by Friday, Feb. 22.

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.
USACE and other federal agencies have issued more than 150 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.
TheTruthAboutPLAs 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.
