On Nov. 6, 51·çÁ÷ sent a letter opposing a government-mandated project labor (PLA) inquiry posted by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). NAVFAC Southwest sought industry comments on a possible PLA for a project at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, Calif. The is for the design and repair of the medical center’s HVAC and ductwork systems valued at approximately $65 million.
51·çÁ÷ neither supports nor opposes contractors’ voluntary use of PLAs on government projects, but strongly opposes any government mandate for contractors’ use of PLAs. 51·çÁ÷ is committed to free and open competition for publicly funded work, and believes that the lawful labor relations policies and practices of private construction contractors should not be a factor in a government agency’s selection process.
