Lake Pontchartrain and Vicinity Foreshore Repair Project W912P8-25-SS-0014

THIS NOTICE IS FOR SOURCES SOUGHT ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL OR INVITATION FOR BID. The tracking number for this announcement is W912P8-25-SS-0014. The purpose of this sources sought notice is to obtain insight into the interest, capabilities, and qualifications of firms; as well as assist the Government in preparing market research and establishing an acquisition strategy in support of this effort. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District seeks qualified Construction firms interested and capable of providing construction services for Lake Pontchartrain and Vicinity Foreshore Repair Project. The work consists of restoring existing riprap armoring to its original design elevation of 4.5 feet with a 5-foot-wide crown and 1 vertical to 3 horizontal side slopes. Approximately 300,000 Tons of Class R-2200 riprap would be required which is a 158,000 Ton increase. Delivery of the riprap to the project site will require the use of barges and thus flotation dredging will be required for this alternative. It is assumed that the areas to be dredged will be the same as in the original Foreshore Protection Projects. With no canals parallel to the shoreline, riprap would be offloaded and trucked, or barges would be light loaded if enough draft is available. Approximately 77,500 Tons of R-200 stone and 112,000 SY of Geotextile Fabric is required to construct the splash pad. These line items increased by 38,500 Tons and 24,000 SY, respectively. On February 4, 2022, the President signed an Executive Order on the use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects (the "Order"), which requires the federal government to require a project labor agreement ("PLA") before awarding any "large-scale construction contract," defined as a contract for which the estimated cost is $35 million or more. PLAs are being evaluated in accordance with FAR 22.504(d); therefore, LPV Foreshore Repair could be subject to the use of PLAs. It is requested as part of Market Research under this Sources Sought to provide responses to following: 1. Would the inclusions of PLAs in the LPV Foreshore Repair project affect your company bidding on the project? (Would you still provide a bid if PLAs are included)? 2. Would the inclusion of the PLA requirement affect your bid price? If so, would it increase or decrease your bid price, please provide an apprximation of how much (either estimate dollar value or percentage of the affect)? The responses to this SOURCES SOUGHT must be emailed to Angela Day, Angela.C.Day@usace.army.mil no later than 2:00 P.M. CST, on Thursday, July 10, 2025. Please include W912P8-25-SS-0014 in the subject line in your response.
