The task orders may include but are not limited to design work involving site investigation, geotechnical reports, topographic surveys, preparation of contract drawings, technical specifications, design analyses, life cycle cost analyses, and continuous real-time computer aided cost estimating and cost reconciliation with third party estimates. Electronic security system design, anti-terrorism/force protection design, progressive collapse, seismic design, cyber security, and network engineering may be required. Resiliency, reliability, and sustainability will be important considerations.

Total building commissioning, with a perspective as designer may be required. Construction phase services, including shop drawing review, design during construction, site visits, etc., could be included in task orders. Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies, CADD and GIS deliverables may be required. Specific requirements will be determined based upon project requirements and described in each task order. Project assignments will typically require performance in an office setting and on-site.

Project Labor Survey – LCAAP Contaminated Waste Plant Construction Independence, MO

The Corps of Engineers Kansas City District is soliciting comments from the construction community addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) for a large scale construction project (between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000) within the Kansas City Metropolitan area.

The adoption of Next Generation Ammunition at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LCAAP) will result in the addition of many new chemical compounds to the existing manufacturing base. Currently, ten (10) of these new compounds are believed to be incompatible with existing LCAAP waste streams. Many new materials are energetic in nature and will require specific processing to neutralize the energetic hazard prior to discharge into the local water sewage system or discarding as solid waste.

This project is anticipated to include construction of a new contaminated waste plant consisting of a new decontamination facility, renovating buildings 160/161 to accommodate the new waste streams and replacement of a critical lift station in support of the new Next Generation Squad Weapon program.

A project labor agreement is defined as a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with one or more labor organization that establishes the terms and conditions of employment for a specific construction project and is an agreement described in 29 U.S.C. § 158(f).

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 22.503 provides the following guidance:

(a) Project Labor Agreements are a tool that agencies may use to promote economy and efficiency in Federal procurement.  Pursuant to Executive Order 13502, agencies are encouraged to consider requiring the use of project labor agreements in connection with large-scale construction projects. 

(b) An agency may, if appropriate, require that every contractor and subcontractor engaged in construction on the project agree, for that project, to negotiate or become a party to a project labor agreement with one or more labor organizations if the agency decides that the use of project labor agreements will--

(1) Advance the Federal Governments interest in achieving economy and efficiency in Federal procurement, producing labor-management stability, and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations governing safety and health, equal employment opportunity, labor and employment standards, and other matters; and

(2) Be consistent with law.  (Refer also to FAR 52.222-33 Notice of Requirement for Project Labor Agreement and FAR 52.222-34 Project Labor Agreement).

The Kansas City District requests responses to the following questions:

1. Do you have knowledge that a PLA has been used in the local area on projects of this kind?  If so, please provide supporting documentation?
2. Are you aware of skilled labor shortages in the area for those crafts that will be needed to complete the referenced project?  If so please elaborate and provide supporting documentation where possible.
3. Are you aware of time sensitive issues/scheduling requirements that would impact the rate at which the referenced project should be completed?  If so, please elaborate and provide supporting documentation where possible.
4. Identify specific reasons why or how you believe a PLA would advance the Federal Governments interest in achieving economy and efficiency in federal procurement.
5.  Identify specific reasons why you do not believe a PLA would advance the Federal Governments interest in achieving economy and efficiency in federal procurement.
6.  Please identify any additional information you believe should be considered on the use of a PLA for the referenced project.
7. Please identify any additional information you believe should be considered on the non-use of a PLA for the referenced project.
8. How would the use of a PLA impact project costs?
9. How would the use of a PLA impact the small business participation as subcontractors?
10. How would a PLA impact small business prime contractors concurrently working small business set-asides on the same project site?

Please send your responses via email to angelique.m.oldsen@usace.army.mil & David.j.walsh@usace.army.mil.  Submissions must be received by 11:00 a.m. Central Standard Time, 10 December 2024.

VA Contracting Officers utilize the following guidance in determining set-aside preference for VA contracts:

VA VETERANS FIRST CONTRACTING PROGRAM—38 U.S.C. 8127 and 8128 AND IMPLEMENTATION OF U.S. SUPREME COURT RULING

Unique VA Contracting Authority—The VA Veterans First Contracting Program and preference for SDVOSBs and VOSBs

Sections 502 and 503 of Public Law 109-461, the Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 as amended (38 U.S.C. 8127-8128) established a VA-specific program which gives priority and preference in the award of VA contracts to—

· SDVOSBs, and

· VOSBs, in that order

The program is known as the VA Veterans First Contracting Program and is implemented under VAAR Subpart 819.70. VA Veterans First Mandate for the VA Rule of Two—

• Under 38 U.S.C. § 8127(d)(1), when using competitive procedures, VA must set aside procurements for VOSBs “if a contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that two or more small businesses owned and controlled by veterans will submit offers and that the award can be made at a fair and reasonable price that offers the best value to the United States.” This is known as the “VA Rule of Two.” The Supreme Court has ruled that 38 U.S.C. §8127(d)(1) is mandatory, not discretionary and its text requires the Department to apply the Rule of Two to all contracting determinations.

• Specifically, the VA hierarchy and contracting order of priority places highest priority with SDVOSB then VOSB before other small business categories such as, 8(a), and HUBZone programs, or Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), and then all other small businesses.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC) is  soliciting proposals with the intent of awarding a single firm-fixed-price construction contract for the minor construction project #589-017, Construct Inpatient Medicine Bed Addition at the Kansas City VA Medical Center located in Kansas City, MO.

This procurement is set-aside based on an order of priority as established in 38 U.S.C. 8127 using the tiered evaluation process with the following tiers:

    (1) Tier 1 - SDVOSB concerns. 

    (2) Tier 2 - VOSB concerns. 

    (3) Tier 3 - small business concerns. 

    (4) Tier 4 - other than small (large) business concerns.
