SECTION 1- SUMMARY
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the Project and the Construction Manager as Advisor (CMa) and Commissioning Provider ( CxP) that are required for the projects selected Design-Bid-Build (DBB) project delivery method. This document combined with the documentation contained in the Appendix, and hyperlinks provided constitutes the scope of work (SOW). For conflicts or ambiguities within or among the contract documents the A/E shall refer to the terms under the Contract Agreement Document.
1.1 Project Description
This Statement of Work (SOW) is for Construction Manager as the government’s advisor (CMa). The General Services Administration (GSA) intends to design a new LPOE at Coburn Gore border crossing for the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the General Services Administration (GSA)
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 the small town of Eustis, Maine.
Coburn Gore is across the border from Woburn, Quebec. The LPOE consists of a Main Building and four stand-alone residences on 3.6 acres of property;
which straddle both sides of State Route 27.
The Coburn Gore LPOE is bisected by State Route 27 (also known as Highway 27). The southern half of the site consists of 1.38+/- acres of land and contains the Main Building and paved driveways. The northern half of the site consists of 2.18+/- acres of land and contains four (4) residences that house government staff (also known as the GSA residences). The main LPOE and the two 1932 residences are listed on the NR Multi Property Nomination NR#14000558, while the two 1967 Residences are not listed, but per the ME SHPO are considered *eligible* so they must be treated as historic. There is minimal landscaping located on the site except for grassy areas and mature trees located at the north and south perimeters of the property. The facility is located in a rural area; adjacent land uses include residential homes, a gas station, and undeveloped wooded areas.
The topography of the site is relatively flat around the main building but slopes down to the south in the rear of the building. Based on available USGS information, the existing LPOE site is at an approximate elevation of 1,420 feet MSL. The site generally slopes down from the north to south with elevations ranging from approximately 1422 to 1410 giving approximately 10 feet of elevation difference across the site.
The Coburn Gore LPOE is in an area unmapped for floodplains/ floodways. There are no wetlands on the LPOE property; however, one 0.41-acre palustrine scrub-shrub wetland and one 3.85-acre palustrine forested wetland is located approximately 200-300 feet south of the existing facility.
Wetlands have been identified along the toeslope of the hill to the north of Route 27, and it has been shown on the exhibits for the current contract action with Dattner Architects (described below). Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
5of 38
U.S. Land Port of Entry, Coburn Gore, ME 04750 New England Region (Region 1) Project No. ME: TBD Design & Construction Division (1PTC) Contract No. TBD Oct 12, 2023
Process, GSA has initiated a wetlands delineation contract with Johnson Mirmiran & Thompson Inc. (JMT) to capture the location, size and scope of the wetlands area. No streams or water bodies were observed within the LPOE property; however, two ponds- Arnold Pond, and Crosby Pond - are located within a quarter mile to the northeast of the LPOE, and accessible via State Route 27.
A majority of the Coburn Gore area is used for commercial logging. The surrounding neighborhood consists of residences, logging company facilities, a general store and a gas station. Beyond the LPOE and neighborhood there are many acres of undeveloped woods. The Canada Border Services Agency Office of Woburn, Quebec is directly across the border from the GSA residences.
The LPOE processes both commercial and non-commercial traffic. Commercial traffic is generally composed of logging trucks, and non-commercial traffic is generally tourist related. Tourists are often accessing ski resorts or other attractions in Maine. There is also occasional bus traffic at this Port along with occasional pedestrian hikers and/or snowmobilers.
In addition to meeting each agency’s Program of Requirements (POR), the design of the new facility should address the Project Goals and Objectives described below in section 1.7.
The primary objective of this project is to replace the Coburn Gore LPOE for CBP to meet current and forecasted operational mission needs and in accordance with the CBP 2018 Design Standard with design clarifications (and future CBP 2023 Design Standard) and 2021 PBS P-100 with 2022 Addendum baseline.
