Naval Facilities Engineering System Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic is soliciting comments from the public addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) for the following construction project. The construction project is for a Building. Construction may include, but is not limited to, establishing a Fleet Legal Services Complex (FLSC) by renovation, conventional construction, and new permanent modular construction on the site of existing Building SP-17. The FLSC will serve as the primary legal support facility for the U.S. Navy Second Fleet located in the Hampton Roads area and throughout Navy Region Mid-Atlantic. The FLSC is a Navy Pilot Project that is required to incorporate permanent modular construction. Building SP-17 will be partially demolished. The center portion will remain and be renovated. The new modular construction must be located within the existing footprint of building SP-17, except for circulation spaces (corridors, stairs, elevators), which are allowed outside the existing building footprint. The project primarily constructs administrative space, courtrooms, and other requirements for legal services located in the State of Norfolk. Project will be design-build. NAICS Code: 236220. The magnitude of construction is anticipated to be $100M – $250M. General period of performance is anticipated to be approximately 851 calendar days.

A PLA is defined as a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with one or more labor organizations that establishes the terms and conditions of employment for a specific construction project and is an agreement as described in 29 U.S.C. 158 (f). Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) policy states: Executive Order (E.O.) 14063, Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects, requires agencies to use PLAs in large-scale construction projects (defined as a construction projects with a total estimated cost at or above $35M) to promote economy and efficiency in the administration and completion of Federal construction projects.
