    The document outlines inquiries related to Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for a federally funded project exceeding $35 million. It seeks to determine the experience of firms with PLAs, the potential impacts on project scheduling, and staffing issues stemming from PLA mandates. Key questions address whether the experience with PLAs has been generally positive or negative, if PLA requirements could lead to schedule delays, and whether firms would still submit bids under PLA conditions. Furthermore, it explores the implications of PLAs on costs, staffing, and small business participation. The overarching goal is to assess the feasibility and implications of integrating PLAs into the procurement process, ensuring compliance while evaluating alternative methods to achieve the objectives of labor agreements without strict mandates. This document serves as a critical assessment tool for understanding the potential effects of PLAs on project execution, cost estimation, and workforce dynamics in the context of government contracting.
