The Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, is soliciting comments from the construction community addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) for a large-scale construction project (exceeding $25 million) at Redstone Arsenal, AL. This market survey is being posted for the Propulsion Systems Lab, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama (Madison County).
Description of Work: Construct a Propulsion Systems Laboratory consisting of modernization and expansion of existing facilities and construction of new stand-alone facilities to support RDT&E of propulsion systems and energetic propellants. Project includes the following: modernization of thirteen existing facilities (63,203SF), new facility for six new propellant mixing bays (4,673SF); water proofing of existing Earth Covered Magazines; new Maintenance Storage Facility (5,000SF); new Control Building (1,800SF); two new Data Acquisition Buildings (450SF EA); new Conditioning Building (600SF); new Rocket Motor Assembly Building (1,500SF); three new Inert Storage Buildings (1,200SF EA); and new Large Rocket Motor Segmenting/ Disassembly Facility (4,800SF).
Work includes building information systems, fire protection and alarm systems, mass notification, access control, intrusion detection, energy monitoring and control systems, sustainability, and energy enhancement measures. Supporting facilities include site development, grading, parking, utilities, lighting, paving, walks, curbs, storm drainage, landscaping, signage, physical security, and AT/FP. Demolition of existing facilities will be required.
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 described in 29 U.S.C. 158(f).
