The General Presidents’ Project Maintenance Agreement (GPPMA) or General Presidents’ Agreement (GPA) is a cost-effective program set forth in a labor agreement designed for all types of maintenance work including repair, renovation, capital improvement and replacement work of all kinds in all types of industrial plants, energy systems and government installations.
The Agreement is designed to reduce labor costs by at least 15-20% since it gives a union contractor the flexibility to manage and perform work operations in the most efficient and productive manner and provides, to the owner a quality product at reasonable and competitive costs.
In effect since 1956, and developed by the AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Department the GPPMA is available to all qualified union contractors who receive a commitment from an owner for contract maintenance work covering an initial period of not less than one year.
For additional information about the GPPMA please go to their website at www.BCTD.org or address correspondence to 815 Sixteenth St., NW, Ste. 600, Washington, DC 20006-4104.
