- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR OFFERORS OR PROPOSALS. THIS NOTICE DOES NOT REPRESENT A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE A SOLICITATION OR AWARD A CONTRACT. INFORMATION RECEIVED WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE THE AVAILABILITY OF TECHNICALLY CAPABLE AND OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE FIRMS THAT WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING OFFERS. The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), Region 8, Acquisition Management Division, Capital Construction Branch is conducting a market survey and is seeking competent and qualified construction firms to provide Design-Build (D-B) services for the design and construction to modernize the Porthill Land Port of Entry (LPOE) in Porthill, Idaho. This project seeks to expand and modernize the Porthill LPOE to meet current operational needs. The expanded LPOE will be based on the small port prototype design with modifications to accommodate the site and operations, which include full or partial demolition of existing LPOE structures; the construction and operation of a new main building for the port facility; additional inspection lanes and associated canopy and booth spaces for commercial and personal vehicles. GSA is seeking highly qualified firms with D-B experience in the following: 1) design and construction of buildings in remote locations, 2) comprehensive site planning, 3) project phasing. See the Capability Statement section below for more information regarding experience. The magnitude of construction is estimated to be more than $50,000,000. GENERAL SCOPE OF SERVICES This project will deliver a new Land Port of Entry (LPOE) complex to replace the existing LPOE in Porthill, Idaho. Porthill LPOE is a limited-service port between Porthill, Idaho and eastern British Columbia, Canada, primarily serving personal vehicles, buses, a limited number of pedestrians (hikers), and permitted commercial trucks. The port operates 16 hours a day, seven days a week and primarily processes passenger vehicles and buses.The existing 55-year-old facility is obsolete and cannot accommodate modern inspection facilities and border security technologies. When complete, the new LPOE will significantly improve traffic flow and create a contemporary work environment consistent with other ports and vastly improve mission delivery, and position the port for the next 30-50 years. The project site is currently 2.13 acres with a plan to acquire an additional 2 acres of land. The LPOE is located at 12222 ID-1, Bonners Ferry, Idaho 83805. It is relatively remote, located 27 miles northwest of Bonners Ferry, Idaho. The expansion and modernization project will enhance the LPOE�s functionality by aligning facilities for operational efficiency, capability, and processing functions. The project scope includes demolition of the existing facility, construction of a new two-story main building (option to include a basement), three (3) inbound inspection lanes to the west, one (1) outbound lane to the east, with an open-air lane for bus lane as a soft secondary inspection, an adjacent two-bay secondary inspection, new parking stalls, new canopies, and replacement of the existing roadway. Security enhancements will align with and meet the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) LPOE Design Standard, to include four (4) new inspection booths, fencing, lighting, communication, and upgraded Building Automation Systems (BAS). Traffic management through the site is still a key concern to accommodate safe and efficient turning movements for inbound trucks, secondary inspection, return route to Canada, employee parking and safe thru movement of Privately Owned Vehicles (POV) and pedestrian traffic. Additional key concerns include substantial site preparation (including raising site grades by 10-12� to match existing and associated stabilization) and project phasing on an extremely small constrained site.
