I. Project Information

I.A. Project Summary

This is a Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) Contract, and includes requirements for the Design Phase Services and the option(s) for Construction Services at a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Option.

The General Services Administration (GSA) intends to design and construct a new Land Port of Entry (LPOE) facility in International Falls, Minnesota.

This new project will be a gateway to the United States from Canada and will replace the existing, obsolete, border facility with a new, state-of-the-art, LPOE.

The new facility shall make a distinct architectural statement that is responsive to the efficient movement of trade and commerce, the security requirements of law enforcement agencies, and the welcoming of visitors and citizens to the United States of America.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the tenant in the current facility and will be the primary tenant agency in the new facility. The Department of Agriculture Plant Protection and Quarantine (USDA) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be joining CBP as new tenants at the new LPOE.

The existing facility in International Falls was constructed in 1993, which was several years before the creation of the DHS. As such, there have been significant changes to the way security screening operations occur at the border.

The existing facility is on an extremely congested, constrained site, which is surrounded by an active paper mill operation, traversed by inbound and outbound road and rail traffic, and is very close to the international bridge connecting International Falls and Fort Frances, Ontario. Consequently, the current facility is not adequate in size, efficiency, safety, and security.

The CMc will be responsible for the demolition and removal of the existing LPOE once the new one is built.

I.B. The Contract
