Additional Information
The USACE is also conducting market research via a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Survey. Industry feedback is requested on local PLA usage, skilled labor shortages, time-sensitive scheduling, and the anticipated cost impacts of a PLA requirement. This input will inform the government's decision on whether to seek a PLA waiver for the project. The government is also seeking feedback on preferred acquisition strategies (Sealed Bid, LPTA, or Best Value Trade Off).
