1.2. Background and Previous Studies

GSA is working with its tenant agencies at the port – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant

Health Inspection Service (APHIS) – to repair and alter the existing facility and systems, which are in need of upgrades and repairs.

The existing facility was constructed in 1985.

In 2021 GSA commissioned Oak Point Associates to perform a PDS scope of work to assess the state of the port. The study will be provided as an attachment to this scope of work.

1.2.1. Site

The Houlton LPOE is located at the northernmost terminus of Interstate 95 (I-95) at the border of

Houlton, ME USA and Bellevue, New Brunswick, CA (refer to the Boundary Survey Plan in the attachments). The Facility was constructed in 1985. The property consists of two parcels divided by the lane of I-95. The parcel between the north and southbound lanes of I-95 is 1.95 acres and the parcel to the north and west of the southbound lanes of I-95 is 3.94 acres. A right-of passage over paved surfaces was retained by the State of Maine weigh station that exists on the 3.94-acre parcel. There is no evidence of an access easement to the privately owned Deringer

Broker Building parcel to the north, but an access drive exists at the northeast corner of the property. The facility also has several existing utility and maintenance easements that cross I-95 northbound and southbound lanes. Another 1.84-acre parcel to the south of the existing 3.84-acre parcel was acquired by the United States of America from the State of Maine in 2005. The

2005 acquisition is subject to rights retained by the State of Maine for use as a truck weigh station, maintenance of drainage systems and slopes, and utility easements. A large wetland and waterbody to the west of the LPOE limits the viability of additional growth and property acquisition.

1.2.2. Existing Facility and Operations

The existing port facility currently consists of four buildings:

Building Nos. ME0661BH: 25,449 RSF (Main Port Building)

ME0662BH: 4,449 RSF (CBP Commercial Inspection Building)

1.2.3. Tenant Agencies

U.S. Customs & Border Protection (https://www.cbp.gov/)

U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) is the main tenant at the port, occupying the majority of the facility. CBP’s operations are conducted in the Main Port Building, Primary Inspection, Secondary Inspection, the Commercial Inspection Building, and the Non-Invasive Inspection (NII) building.

FDA (https://www.fda.gov/)

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) mission is to inspect food and agricultural products entering the U.S.

USDA – APHIS (https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/importexport)

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).

GSA (https://www.gsa.gov/)

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) operates the building systems and maintains the port for its tenant agencies. While it has a small presence at the port, its role is important as it provides well-designed, functional, and energy efficient office space to tenants at the port. GSA is responsible for operation and maintenance of the buildings, mechanical systems, and other property management tasks such as custodial services, trash removal, landscape maintenance, and snow removal. These tasks are contracted out to an Operations & Maintenance (O&M) contractor.

1.3. Existing Facilities

Refer to the 2021 PDS for information on the existing LPOE.

1.4. Proposed Facilities and Preferred Alternative

A PDS Study was completed for GSA in February 2021. The Preferred Alternative from the study includes design directives for repair and alteration to the building envelope(s), MEP systems, and site paving, among other elements. The existing LPOE will need to remain in operation while the new facility is being built.

Three concepts will be developed as appropriate for the Repair and Alteration items selected from the 2021 PDS. These concepts will be evaluated taking into consideration constructability, phasing to maintain 24/7 CBP operations, and the relative cost of each concept approach. Concepts should also provide the government with the ability to manage construction inflation risks by breaking the project into smaller components. Based on evaluation by GSA and other stakeholders a preferred alternative will be selected at the conclusion of this project phase.

In addition to meeting each agency’s Program of Requirements (POR), the design of the repair and alterations should address the Project Goals and Objectives described below in Section 1.5.

2.5.4. Commissioning Provider (CxP)

The Commissioning Provider (CxP) is responsible for providing documented confirmation that the completed facility fulfills the functional and performance requirements of GSA and its tenant agencies, the facility occupants, and the facility operators. The CxP will perform work as necessary to verify and document compliance with the GSA performance objectives throughout design, construction, start-up, and the initial period of operation. The specific activities, tasks, and deliverables required of the CxP are further delineated in the CxP contract.

2.5.5. Construction Manager-as-Constructor (CMc)

GSA will use a CMc delivery method for this project (see Section 2.2 – CMc Delivery

Method). The CMc is responsible for construction of the project in accordance with the construction documents during the Construction Stage. The CMc will also provide services during the Design Stage, including reviews of the schedule, budget, and constructability of the design.

During the design development (DD) and construction document (CD) phases, the A/E and the CMc will collaborate on the design, constructability issues, schedule, cost, through a process that is similar to value management. The goal of this collaboration is to establish a final Estimated Cost of Work that does not exceed the design to limit.

The CMc's involvement during the project design stage offers the government the ability to identify current market conditions concerning labor and material availability, constructability issues, and any phasing and sequencing impacts.

Ideally, the A/E and its subcontractors will communicate freely with the CMc and its trade subcontractors, and vice versa. This will ensure mutual understanding of both the A/E's design intent and the CMc's means and methods, and thus ensure greater certainty in pricing the construction work. It also increases the likelihood that design errors and omissions are recognized and resolved during design. In addition, this collaboration takes place during a time that does not significantly impact the construction schedule and that can result in expedited production and review of shop drawings once construction commences.

The CMc contractor shall review and become familiar with the scope of services under the A/E’s contract, especially the various standards, guidelines, policies, and documents that the A/E is required to follow in order to develop the design and construction documents. This review and familiarization is vitally important during the

Design Phase Services because provision of constructability and cost estimation reviews of the A/E’s design-related submissions is the main task of the CMc Contractor during the Design Phase Services. At its core, the CMc Contractor will help to ensure that the design and construction documents will enable the Government to exercise the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Option at a price that is at or below the GMP.

2.5.6. Art-in-Architecture (AiA)

GSA’s Art in Architecture program entails commissioning artists to create publicly scaled and permanently installed works of art that are appropriate to the diverse uses and architectural vocabularies of new and substantially modernized federal buildings, courthouses, and Land Ports of Entry. The intent is to achieve integration of art and architecture. The artist(s) may become involved in the design of building or sitework elements and will work collaboratively with the A/E Team. GSA will select and commission one or more artists during the Design Concept Phase to create new artwork for the port.

2.5.7. Independent Scheduler

The GSA may engage services of an independent scheduler to provide schedule review and analysis.

3. SECTION 3- GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The General Requirements apply to all project phases. Some of the requirements noted in this section may be subject to the exercise of contract option(s).

As a general matter, GSA’s P100, “Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service,” is the primary document that governs the A/E’s performance of work. Other policies and procedures

(e.g., tenant agency design guides and GSA’s P-120 for cost estimating) provide detailed requirements and procedures with which the A/E shall also comply. When options are presented in the tenant design guides, the AE shall confirm and document the path forward. The purpose of this A/E Statement of Work is to describe services that the A/E shall provide in addition to the services outlined in other documents (refer to Section 3.3, Reference Materials).

New England Region (Region 1)

Future work is also planned at the Houlton LPOE. This work includes the following:

Modular Firing Range Installation

Construction of a New Commercial Inspection Building (CIB)

This future work is unfunded at this time. However, future site locations have been identified on the property. A photo has been marked up showing the future locations on the existing LPOE property. A copy of which is included as an attachment to this Statement of Work. All design work under this statement of work, will limit impacts to these areas to allow future construction.

In addition, all design energy models and electrical loading should include this future work in the power requirements for the LPOE.

The following is the scope of the items which will be included in the Repair and Alteration

Design. These items will be designed as Base Bid Items and Optional Bid Items. The purpose of the Base Bid and Option Bid items is to provide a means to control costs and the associated bid risk to keep the project within the allotted budget. The items listed are not complete but notional and may be modified to meet project goals and other design requirements. These items are listed in priority order.

3.1.1. BASE BID ITEMS

3.1.1.1. Main Port Building - Exterior Building

Envelope The exterior, while in relatively good condition, will require the following renovations in order to maintain its integrity:

• Replace Existing Roof System

A new adhered roof system, complete with polyisocyanurate insulation, coverboard, PVC membrane, flashings, and metal fascia, is recommended. As part of the roof replacement project, roof drain replacements with heat trace systems should be provided. Increasing the depth of the roof insulation would provide some benefits in the thermal performance of the building and will be investigated and provided if LCCA determines added value. A fall protection system will be provided at the rooftop mounted equipment.

• Replace Existing Stone/Concrete Façade Panels

The existing stone/concrete façade panels are at the end of their service life and should be replaced. This type of panel is only produced by an extremely limited number of manufacturers and are no longer commonly available. In addition, the existing panels are applied directly over the exterior metal studs and are serving as both exterior sheathing and finishes, which greatly increases the likelihood of water infiltration and possible mold growth in the insulation cavity.

GSA personnel indicated that mold growth within the cavity has indeed been detected during past renovations projects. In order to protect the building and increase the building’s thermal performance it is recommended that the panels be carefully removed so that the existing exterior metal studs may be reused, an exterior glass mat gypsum board sheathing, air-barrier

U.S. General Services Administration

New England Region (Region 1) with an insulated metal wall panel should be evaluated along with other possible solutions.

Replacement of the second-floor stone/concrete façade will also require that the existing second floor aluminum storefront and windows be replaced. Bullet resistant panel and glass requirements shall be evaluated per the requirements of the LPOE Design Guide.

• Replace Existing Aluminum Storefront, Windows, and Entrances

The existing aluminum storefront, windows, and entrances are also approaching the end of their service life. Thermally broken aluminum storefront systems should be provided with insulated laminated glazing. Bullet resistant requirements of the LPOE Design Guide will be met.

• Remove and Replace Exterior Hollow Metal Doors and Frames and Building Sealants.

As part of this item, exterior metal elements shall be prepped and painted including exposed structural items, security bollards and garage doors.

3.1.1.2. Main Port Building - Life Safety and Fire

Protection Systems The following Life Safety and Fire Protection items are to be included in the design:

• Fire Alarm System

The existing fire alarm system shall be replaced with a combination fire alarm and voice emergency communication system. The existing system does not have voice capabilities, is not addressable, and does not have a layout nor mounting heights in compliance with the current NFPA 72. It has also been noted by building management to have false alarms.

Replacing the system will improve alerting the occupants and the responding fire department to fire events.

• Sprinkler System

A sprinkler system will be added to the building which is currently non-sprinklered. This improves the life safety and property protection measures.

• Fireproofing

Locations of missing fireproofing were found at utility supports throughout and in the large main lobby where the gypsum installers removed large sections to install top track during lobby renovations. This is recommended to be replaced to maintain the original rated type of construction of the building.

• Firestopping

There is minimal firestopping throughout the building. This is necessary to be installed to maintain the integrity of fire rated separations, in particular at the two exit stair enclosures and at the elevator machine room.

3.1.1.3. Main Port Building - Accessibility

• Elevator Modernization

Remove the existing hydraulic passenger elevator and replace with a machine room-less hydraulic elevator system.

• Stair to Roof

Access to the roof is currently via ladder. To meet PBS standards a permanent stair is required to access the roof top mounted mechanical equipment. In order to meet this requirement, the existing stair will need to be extended to provide access to the roof level. Remove roof deck at existing stair and provide structural framing, exterior enclosure envelope, roofing system, concrete filled metal pan stair to roof.

3.1.1.4. Main Port Building - Mechanical Systems

The entire HVAC system in the Main Port Building should be analyzed and upgrades recommended including the following:

• Replace Heating System

Alternatives for the replacement shall be developed. A Geothermal study for the Houlton LPOE is ongoing and geothermal should be considered as an option.

• Replace Cooling and Ventilation System

The first and second floor each have their own split system air handling unit which are responsible for cooling and providing ventilation. The systems are beyond the end of their usable life and in poor condition. They do not provide adequate temperature control for space comfort. They also do not have ventilation energy recovery. To solve these issues and meet energy requirements develop options including the use of geothermal systems.

• Replace Vehicle Inspection Bay Heating and Ventilation System

The heating and ventilation system and exhaust fans in the vehicle inspection bay are in poor condition and should be replaced in their entirety.

• Provide Building Automation System (BAS)

Provide a BAS system to control and monitor the HVAC systems throughout the building. BAS

System shall be a Niagara system. The BAS system will be in compliance with the standards of

PBS P100, GSA’s standardized National Computerized Maintenance Management System

(NCMMS), and Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) format. This will require approximately 100 control points. This will include points to tie into the fire alarm system for required HVAC points. Additionally, the points include water metering required by

P100.

3.1.1.5. Main Port Building - Plumbing Systems

• Replace Roof Drains

Heat trace freeze protections with monitoring will be provided for freeze protection.

• Provide Water Service Isolation Valves

Provide isolation valves at various locations in order to isolate parts of the building to make repairs simpler.

• Upgrade Domestic Hot Water System

The existing hot water system is in poor condition and does not reach the entire building.

Various smaller water heaters are located throughout the building. PBS P100 requires that 30% of the domestic water be heated by solar collectors if it is life cycle cost effective. Use of a geothermal system to provide domestic hot water should also be considered.

• Upgrade Plumbing Fixtures to Low-Flow

Comply with PBS P100 fixture requirements (0.5 gpm urinals, metered 0.25 gpm per cycle lavatories). Water closet requirement is 1.28 gpm but this may cause problems with the existing sanitary system, as it was not designed with 1.28 GPM flush valves in mind. The lower water flow can create blockages downstream from the fixtures if the existing sanitary lines do not have adequate slope or are damaged. Provide dual-flush (1.6gpm/1gpm per flush) water closets.

Evaluate the existing sanitary sewer system to evaluate whether this problem exists or not.

3.1.1.6. Main Port Building - Electrical Systems

• Upgrade Main Service - Main Switchboard

A new service entrance is recommended for the Main Port Building because the MSB is 35 years old, is approaching the end of its useful life and parts may be less available. The MSB contains only a very limited amount of spare capacity for future expansion. This work will require phasing, temporary power, and shutdowns to perform electrical cut-over. Every attempt will be made through the design to minimize building outages and disruption to the tenant.

• Replace Branch Circuit Panelboards and Feeders

The branch circuit panelboards and associated feeders are recommended for replacement.

• Replace Remaining Fluorescent Fixtures With LED and Provide Controls

The remaining fluorescent fixtures in the building are recommended to be replaced with LED fixtures for energy savings. Occupancy sensors are also recommended to comply with ASHRAE

90.1 and for energy savings.

• Replace Exterior Building Lighting and Provide Additional Exterior Building Lighting

Existing building-mounted fixtures, both wall and canopy, are recommended to be replaced with

LED fixtures. Lamps have been replaced with lamps of different color temperatures, lenses are

New England Region (Region 1) dirty, cracked, and yellowed, and reflectors have been damaged. Fixtures will include battery backup at building egress locations to comply with NFPA 101. LED fixtures will comply with

ASHRAE 90.1 requirements and provide energy savings. At the time of fixture replacement, circuits will be switched to the generator panelboard so exterior fixtures are connected to the generator system.

• Replace Site Fixtures on 80-Foot Poles with LED

It is recommended that the pole mounted site fixtures with 1000W lamps be replaced with LED fixtures for energy savings. The LED fixtures will also improve visibility while reducing overall site glare.

• Provide Lightning Protection System

A lightning protection system is recommended for the building based on the requirements of the building being continuously occupied and continuity of service. The system will be designed according to NFPA 780 and will consist of roof mounted arrestors, down conductors on the exterior of the building and ground rods connecting the system to earth.

• Provide EV Charging Stations

Design and install EV Charging Stations for LPOE and GSA vehicles.
