DB P713 A School Dormitory Replacement, Naval Station Great Lakes, Illinois

The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Mid-Atlantic is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice and Request for Information for the design-build replacement of the P713 A-School Dormitory at Naval Station Great Lakes, Illinois. This project involves the construction of a multi-story unaccompanied housing facility for 616 students, with an estimated value between 100 million and 250 million dollars and an anticipated performance period of approximately 1,160 calendar days. The government is specifically seeking capable firms, including various small business designations such as SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), and WOSB, to determine if a set-aside procurement is appropriate. The anticipated award date is May 2027. A primary focus of this inquiry is the potential implementation of a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) in accordance with FAR Subpart 22.5 and related deviations. The government is gathering industry feedback on labor availability, cost impacts, and the comparison between union and prevailing wage rates via a specific PLA questionnaire. Interested respondents must submit a contractor information form and evidence of relevant experience, specifically projects exceeding 50 million dollars or 100,000 square feet completed within the last seven years. Submissions are due to Catharine Keeling, with the Sources Sought responses due by September 25, 2026, and the PLA questionnaire due by October 1, 2026.
