US Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District is currently re-evaluating the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) on T-7A Depot Maintenance Complex (DMC), Hill Air Force Base (HAFB), Utah (UT) project. This re-evaluation is informed by, and takes into consideration, the recent Class Deviation 2025-O0002, Revision 1 �Waiver of Project Labor Agreement Requirements�. The project includes a requirement to construct a two (2)-story hangar maintenance facility (approximately 301,798 square feet (SF)) for the new T-7A DMC. The intent is for a two-hundred-fifty (250) person maintenance crew to support maintenance functions for a 351 aircraft program with an Aircraft Initial Operating Capability. The hangar maintenance facility will be located south of the existing F-22 facilities on the east side of the base adjacent to Foulois Road located at HAFB, UT. Major functional components for the maintenance facility include sixteen (16) maintenance docks, engine storage and repair, equipment storage, blast booths and blast prep areas, paint booths and paint prep areas, an air filtration system, a fuel dock, pre-flight testing; harness, fabrication cell, hydraulics, machine, parts, stencil, and transportation shops, life support; material inventory control, hazardous waste storage, a software integration lab, showers and locker rooms, administrative office space, including a shipping and receiving dock.
