    The Corps of Engineers Seattle District is conducting a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) survey for the upcoming renovation of two barrack buildings at Joint Base Lewis McChord, Washington, projected to cost between $25 million and $100 million. This notice is an inquiry aimed at gathering feedback from the construction community regarding the potential use of PLAs to facilitate this large-scale construction project. The renovation will convert the buildings, known as the Hammer Heads and Hammer Handles, into operational facilities, necessitating extensive demolition and reconstruction tasks, including hazardous material removal and the installation of new mechanical and electrical systems. Factors influencing the decision to use a PLA include the need for multiple contractors, local skilled labor shortages, and extended project timelines. The agency is inviting comments on previous PLA usage in the local area, local skill gaps, scheduling concerns, and any insights on the benefits or drawbacks of implementing a PLA for this project. This survey is not a solicitation for proposals but an effort to inform future acquisition decisions. The input received will guide the consideration of PLAs in achieving efficiency and promoting a skilled workforce for federal construction projects.
