This document is a federal solicitation for a Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) for the International Falls Land Port of Entry project in Minnesota. The General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking a contractor to provide design phase and construction phase services for this $175-$195 million project. The CMc will be competitively selected using source selection procedures, with technical factors being significantly more important than price. Key requirements include experience with similar projects, project management approach, personnel qualifications, past performance, sustainability, and small business participation. The design will conform to federal building standards and aim for LEED Gold certification. The project is funded under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act. A pre-proposal conference and site visit is scheduled for May 14, 2024, and proposals are due by June 5, 2024. An award is anticipated in October 2024, with the design phase beginning at that time and the optional construction phase anticipated to start in February 2026. The solicitation also includes information about opportunities for suppliers of low embodied carbon materials to express interest.
