Pueblo Pintado is a community in the Crownpoint Service Unit located in the center of New Mexico on the Navajo Nation, approximately 100 miles northeast of Gallup New Mexico, and 100 miles northwest of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Housing will be co-located with the health center, currently under construction, on a single, dedicated plot of land with a common approach and shared roadway. Housing units will be composed of a mix of occupancies and configurations to best utilize the site and to support recruitment and retention of non-local medical and operational staff. Emphasis will be placed on developing the housing to incorporate specific sustainability goals, operational maintainability, community features, and how the site layout, massing, and organization enhances the public and staff functions of the Health Center environment; specifically the unique, remote location and cultural setting of this project.

FF&E will NOT be purchased/installed as part of the design or construction portion of the project. In accordance with the Disclosure of the Magnitude of Construction Projects, the anticipated project magnitude is between $50,000,000 and $100,000,000.

Following evaluation of Phase I proposals, only the most highly qualified offerors will be invited to submit Phase II proposals. PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT (PLA) - GOVERNMENT INTENT AND SURVEY In accordance with Executive Order 14063 and FAR Subpart 22.5, IHS currently intends to require the use of a PLA for this project. The PLA will be submitted only by the awardee after contract award. Any resulting PLA must allow all contractors and subcontractors to compete for contracts and subcontracts without regard to whether they are otherwise parties to collective bargaining agreements. A PLA is 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, as described in 29 U.S.C. 158(f). See FAR 52.222-33, Notice of Requirement for Project Labor Agreement, and FAR 52.222-34, Project Labor Agreement. Consistent with FAR 22.502, IHS is examining current market conditions in the project area (Crownpoint, New Mexico) to assess national, regional, and local interest in participating in a project requiring a PLA; the availability of union and non-union labor and contractors; and potential effects on competition, cost, economy, and efficiency. Input is requested from government entities, general contractors, subcontractors, labor unions and labor organizations, and qualified small businesses. PLA Survey Questions. Please address the following, as applicable: 1. Identify the type of entity you represent (government entity, labor union or organization, union or non-union contractor or subcontractor, and/or qualified small business). 2. Describe any known use of PLAs on similar projects in the local area. 3. Describe any skilled-labor shortages and the availability of union and non-union labor for the crafts needed to complete this project. 4. Explain whether the site's remote location would impede the recruitment or retention of local union or non-union workers. 5. Describe any known national, regional, or local interest among union and non-union contractors in participating in this project. 6. Explain how a PLA requirement would affect your interest in competing for or otherwise participating in this project. 7. Explain whether a PLA would advance the Federal Government's interest in economy and efficiency, including any anticipated effects on competition or project costs. 8. Provide any additional information the Government should consider regarding the use or non-use of a PLA for this project. PROSPEC
