1. Introduction:

1.1. Project Overview: The project consists of the design and construction of a new U.S.

Land Port of Entry (LPOE) in Madawaska, Maine by the General Services Administration

(GSA). The new LPOE in Madawaska, Maine will replace the current 1959 mission & operationally deficient LPOE situated on a 0.9 acre site that does not meet the U.S.

Government's requirements and mission. The program of requirements for this new

LPOE is an approximately 76,717 GSF facility on a 10.7 acres site that includes a Main

Port Building, Commercial Inspection Building, 3 primary inspection lanes, and a bypass lane. The existing facility connects Madawaska, Maine with Edmundston, New

Brunswick via the International Bridge, spanning the St. John River. The International

Bridge is nearing the end of its useful life based on its current condition and functionality. The Madawaska-Edmundston International bridge replacement project, by the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT), is a concurrent design and construction project. These two distinct and separate projects require strong multi-disciplinary and cross agency coordination, with completion of the LPOE upon the bridge opening by November 2023.

1.2. Existing Site Conditions Capture: The Madawaska LPOE existing site was documented by both the air and on the ground. The existing LPOE and Bridge existing site area was documented on the ground. The aerial views were captured using a drone on August 19th, 2020. The 360° ground images were captured on August 17th – 19th, 2020.

1.3. Virtual Site Access: Offerors will be able to virtually view the site with a variety of offline files as well as online tools. DroneDeploy was used to process the drone captures to create orthoscopic views as well as mapping and 3D models. StructionSite was used to capture images on the ground with a 360° camera and a cell phone camera. Further instructions can be found in this document.

NOTE: 52.236-3 Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work. The Government assumes no responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made by the Contractor based on the information made available by the Government. Nor does the Government assume responsibility for any understanding reached or representation made concerning conditions which can affect the work by any of its officers or agents before the execution of this contract, unless that understanding or representation is expressly stated in this contract.

Any annotations or any measurements from DroneDeploy and/or StructionSite are not to be used for cost estimating, design and/or construction purposes. The intent is to give a visualization of the topography of the site without having to be onsite. Site utilization and final design are subject to change per GSA

2. Ground Documentation – StructionSite: StructionSite will give viewers 360° images at ground level of the existing site as of the end of August 2020. These images are located with “pins” on an aerial view of the site with the existing site plan or the future grading plan laid over top in purple. A link to the project on StructionSite.com will let users view the project online or three PDFs can be download from the beta.sam.gov website that will have pins that are linked to the images online.

2.1. StructionSite Online Version: The online viewing option will be accessed through a web browser; no data will be saved on your local computer.

Step 1. Accessing StructionSite. To view this project on StructionSite.com use the following link, you will not need to create a log in:

https://app.structionsite.com/vp/dae2130c-94c2-4556-95c9-d6b4af0542f4

Step 2. Accessing Images. When you open the link, you will see the three “Drawings”, 01 - Existing Site at New Bridge Landing, 01 - Future Grading Plan at New Bridge Landing and 02 – Existing LPOE and Bridge. Both the “01” drawings contain the same images, the first has a layover with the C101 drawing of the existing site conditions, the later has a layover with the C107 drawing of the future grading plan. To enter into these drawings just click on one to choose it. This viewer will consolidate the image pins if you are zoomed out. You will see colored circles (see Figure 2.1) with numbers in the middle which tells you how many pictures are located in that location. Use the scroll on your mouse or clock on the circles to zoom in and the circles will break apart so you can see the individual pins.

Figure 2.1

Step 3. Navigating and Viewing Images. Once a drawing is opened, you will notice orange pins and blue triangles on the PDF (see Figure 2.2). The orange pins are 360° pictures, and the blue triangles are standard cell phone pictures. To view any of the https://app.structionsite.com/vp/dae2130c-94c2-4556-95c9-d6b4af0542f4

NOTE: 52.236-3 Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work. The Government assumes no responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made by the Contractor based on the information made available by the Government. Nor does the Government assume responsibility for any understanding reached or representation made concerning conditions which can affect the work by any of its officers or agents before the execution of this contract, unless that understanding or representation is expressly stated in this contract.

Any annotations or any measurements from DroneDeploy and/or StructionSite are not to be used for cost estimating, design and/or construction purposes. The intent is to give a visualization of the topography of the site without having to be onsite. Site utilization and final design are subject to change per GSA pins, click on the pin, a preview screen will appear in the top left of your current screen, click on the preview to make it full size. To navigate the 360° environment, click and hold then drag your mouse to look around. You can use the mouse scroller to zoom in and out. You can easily navigate to other pins in this option by using the “Mini Map” on the bottom left of your screen, just click on another pin to view that location. Your current location is shown on the mini map as well. When viewing a 360° image the orange pin will have a black interior to denote the current image location or a green triangle when viewing standard images (see Figure 2.2). To return to the drawing view, use the back arrow at the top left. In a standard picture you will be able to zoom in and out by using the scroller on your mouse. When zoomed in, you can pan around the picture by clicking holding and dragging your mouse.

2.2. StructionSite PDFs: There are three PDFs available to download from beta.sam.gov, one for each drawing that is on the StructionSite platform. To access the PDF version of

StructionSite on the beta.sam.gov website and locate the files named SS 01 – Existing

Site at New Bridge Landing.pdf, SS 01 – Future Grading Plan at New Bridge Landing.pdf and SS 02 – Existing LPOE and Bridge.pdf. These PDFs will give you the same information as you would find online but you will be looking at the drawings on your PDF viewer and not the StructionSite platform. The “01” pdfs have the same images with different layovers. The PDFs have every pin location and when you click on the pin it will take you to the online image.

Step 1. Saving Files to Local Computer. On the beta.sam.gov website, just click on the PDF file and it will save to your standard downloads folder. You can always use the

“Save As” function on your PDF viewer to save it in a new location.

Step 3. Accessing and Utilizing the Files. Once the file has been downloaded you can open the PDF and then click on the image locations to open the images. These images are located online so you will need an internet connection. Once a drawing is opened, you will notice orange pins and blue triangles on the PDF (see Figure 2.1). The orange pins are 360° pictures, and the blue triangles are standard cell phone pictures.

To view either type of picture click on the pin. If you click on a 360° viewer, the PDF viewer may use your web browser to open the 360° environment.

Step 3. Navigating and Viewing a 360° Image. To navigate a 360° image, click and hold then drag on the screen to look around. You can also use the scroll on your mouse to zoom in and out. The standard cell phone pictures have the zoom function available as well. When zoomed in you can click, hold and drag the mouse to pan around the picture.

Step 2. Navigating and Viewing Aerial Documentation. When viewing the project online you will have a toolbar on the left side of your screen. Starting from the top of the tool bar, you will not have to Sign Up or Log In to use. All available exports are available on the beta.sam.gov website.

You can choose to view the project in a Map view or a Model view. In the Map view you can navigate by clicking, holding and dragging your mouse and using the scroll to zoom in and out. You will be able to turn on and off Plant Health and Elevation Views by clicking on the adjacent box. Below the Elevation View you will notice a number of drawings with different markups that you can choose to over lay on top of the Map view. To turn on/ off the overlays just click on the box adjacent to the name of the drawing.

Four annotations have been added for your reference to give you an idea of the topography, again this is not to be used for design or construction. You can view an annotation either by clicking on the blue lines on the Map view or by choosing the

Annotations tab. You can also add an annotation by using the measuring tools.

To view the 3D Model online choose the Model option next to the Map option. To navigate the 3D model, click, hold and drag the mouse to rotate the model. Use the scroller on your moose to zoom in and out.
