RFP-RC-07-022 - Project Labor Agreement Consulting - Qualified Suppliers List

Summary of Specifications:
Pursuant to the “New York State Thruway” case, the consultant will need to render a detailed quantification, in real dollar terms, of projected savings on the project from the use of a PLA. The quantification should incorporate the value of the Project’s timely completion, the no-strike clause, the use of working forepersons, the elimination of worker breaks and any other discernable savings, the nature of public construction in the Hudson Valley, the relative use of union and non-union labor and the history of regional labor strife on public construction should also be researched. Rockland County intends for this Request for Proposal to result in the development of a “Qualified Suppliers List” for Services in the area of PLA. Various Departments, on an as needed basis and as approved by the County Attorney, will select a firm from the “Qualified Suppliers List – PLA Consulting services” to satisfy their needs as they arise.
