The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District, is seeking qualified construction firms interested in providing services for the Grand Isle Hurricane Ida Repairs project involving the construction of segmented stone breakwaters and navigation lights in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. This sources sought notice aims to gather information on the capabilities and qualifications of potential contractors and to assist the government in market research and acquisition planning. The project entails building 31 segmented breakwaters, each approximately 250 feet long with 250-foot gaps between them, composed of geotextile fabric, core and bedding stone, and armor stone. Alongside these structures, 10 navigation lights will be installed on tripod-shaped platforms driven into the seabed. The construction will involve barge-mounted draglines, excavators, and pile drivers, with breakwater tops reaching approximately five feet above the water surface. Offshore depths are shallow, not expected to exceed 10 feet. The government is particularly focused on assessing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for this effort, requesting information from firms regarding their experience with PLAs, local labor market conditions, scheduling concerns, and the expected impacts of PLA inclusion on project costs and procurement efficiency. Firms are asked to provide detailed responses on labor availability, the economic effects of PLAs, and their bidding intentions with or without a PLA requirement. The estimated project value ranges between $25 million and $100 million under NAICS code 237990. Responses to this sources sought notice are due by March 10, 2026, and the government emphasizes this is not a solicitation or bid request but a step to inform future acquisition strategy.
