Purpose of Market Survey
This market survey aims to gather industry feedback on the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for large-scale construction projects exceeding $35 million. The government is interested in understanding how PLAs might impact economy, efficiency, labor-management stability, and compliance with various standards, as encouraged by Executive Order 14036.
Project Scope
The proposed project involves the construction of two standard design barracks to accommodate 260 unaccompanied enlisted personnel.

The project also includes the demolition of two existing buildings (6,389 total SF) at Fort Campbell. Facilities will be designed for a minimum life of 40 years, incorporating sustainability and energy efficiency measures.

Agencies are encouraged to consider PLAs for large-scale projects if they advance federal interests in economy, efficiency, labor stability, and compliance. The government is seeking input on whether a PLA would be consistent with these goals for this specific project.
Key Questions for Industry
The Corps of Engineers is specifically requesting comments on the following:
- Knowledge of PLA use in the local area for similar projects.
- Awareness of skilled labor shortages for required crafts.
- Identification of time-sensitive issues affecting project completion.
- Specific reasons why a PLA would or would not advance federal interests in economy and efficiency.
- Any additional information to consider regarding the use or non-use of a PLA.
