Sources Sought for Project Labor Agreements (PLAs): 9 Mile Pump Station
Contract Opportunity Analysis
The Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Detroit District, is conducting market research for the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for the 9 Mile Pump Station project in St. Clair Shores, Michigan. The objective is to gather comments from the construction community regarding the feasibility of PLAs and to assess the local labor market's recent construction history, as the project involves constructing a high-capacity stormwater pump station with an estimated cost between $25 million and $50 million. PLAs are significant for large-scale federal construction projects, as they establish employment terms and conditions, promoting efficiency in procurement. Interested parties should direct their comments and inquiries to Michelle Barr or Lisa May via email, with the anticipated solicitation expected in summer 2026 and a project duration of over 18 months.
