The Coburn Gore LPOE is located in Coburn Gore, ME, a small unorganized township in Franklin County. Coburn Gore is an isolated setting about 20 miles northwest of thesmall townof Eustis, Maine. Coburn Gore is across the border from Woburn, Quebec. The LPOE consists of a Main Building and four stand-alone residences on 3.6acresofproperty; whichstraddle both sides of State Route 27.

TheCoburnGoreLPOEisbisectedbyStateRoute27(alsoknown asHighway27).Thesouthernhalfofthesiteconsistsof1.38+/-acres of land and contains the Main Building and paved driveways.Thenorthernhalfofthesiteconsistsof2.18+/-acres oflandandcontainsfour(4)residencesthathousegovernment staff (also known as the CBPresidences).

A majority of the Coburn Gore area is used for commercial logging. The surrounding neighborhood consistsofresidences, logging company facilities, a general store and a gas station. Beyond the LPOE and neighborhood there aremanyacresof undevelopedwoods.TheCanadaBorderServicesAgencyOfficeofWoburn,QuebecisdirectlyacrosstheborderfromtheGSA residences.

1.2. Prior Studies and Program Discussions

● A2018FeasibilityStudy(FS)conductedbytheGSAanddevelopedbyPARSONSexaminedthecurrentcapabilitiesof the LPOE and reviewed its deficiencies in technology and operations and plans for future expansion. With the collaboration of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), three solutions were produced, with a Preferred Alternative (PA) chosen and documentation provided to describe the masterplan of the new LPOE, roadway modifications, and treatment of the historical port and residences. A subsequent budget was also developed to correspondtotheexpansionworkscopeofthePA.DetailsofthisstudyandthePAareprovidedwithintheappendixof this SOW.

● CBP provided GSA a FS and Program of Requirements (POR) review in the spring of 2022, with details of staff increaseandprogramchangesthatneedtobeintegratedintothe2018PA.CBPalsoproposedanewlocationofthe residences superseding the 2018 master plan.

The Coburn Gore LPOE is a surviving facility erectedbetween1931and1937 alongtheMaine-Quebecborder. ThisGeorgianRevivalbuilding,designedbythe Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury, sharescommontechnical, stylisticandprogrammaticfeatureswithotherstationsconstructedatthattime.

As a group, these border stations are closely associated with three major themes in twentieth century American history: Prohibition (1919-1933), the popularization of the automobile, and the Depressionofthe1930's.Facilityis listed on the National Register.

2.1. Building Backgrounds

ME0551BE - LPOE, Coburn Gore is a two story 5,038 gsf building with basement, which was constructedin1932.Thereisaprimaryinspectioncanopyextendingofftotheeastsideofthe station, covering two vehicle inspection lanes. The first floor of the station houses employee restrooms, primary pedestrian inspection, public waiting, document processing, munitions storage, kitchenette and CBP office areas. The second floor contains bedrooms.

ThehistoricalLPOEhasreceivedseveralrecentrenovations-themostrecentbeingthesprinklersysteminthe garageofthe LPOE, and the LAN Room renovations completed in 2021. The four residences have received roofing and windows replacements, and residences 2,3, and 4 have received updates to the kitchens. A record of documents for completed renovations are provided with the appendices. The AE must review and understand completed scope toinformthedesign services.

The CBP residences are to continue to provide housing for CBP officers serving at the LPOE. As discussed, the new CBP Housing program is tobedevelopedfromCBPHousingGuidance.It isexpectedthattheoperationsandmaintenance(O&M) activities of the historical residences will be transferred from GSA to CBP.

2.2. Proposed Action and Site Acquisition

GSA (https://www.gsa.gov/)TheU.S.GeneralServicesAdministration(GSA)operatesthebuildingsystemsand maintains the port for its tenant agencies. While it has a small presence at the port, its role is important as it provideswell-designed,functional, andenergyefficientofficespacetothetenantattheport.GSAisresponsiblefor operation and maintenance of the buildings, mechanical systems, and other property managementtaskssuchas custodialservices,trashremoval, landscapemaintenance,andsnowremoval. ThesetasksarecontractedouttoanOperations & Maintenance (O&M) contractor.

2.4. Additional Stakeholders

The design and construction of the modernization and expansion of the Coburn Gore LPOE will require collaboration and coordination with the following stakeholders.

Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT)(https://www.maine.gov/mdot/) MaineDOTplans,develops,implements,andmanagesastatewidetransportationnetwork–includingroads, bridges, railroads, airports, park-and-rides, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and publictransportationfacilitiesandservices.
