Upgrade Blaine POE Inspection Booth

Upgrade Blaine POE Inspection Booth

STATEMENT OF WORK

11/29/17

DESCRIPTION: Replace existing commercial primary inspection booth (Lane #2) with a hi-low inspection booth at the Blaine Port of Entry (POE).

LOCATION: US Customer and Border Protection (CBP), Area Port of Blaine, Pacific Highway Port of Entry, Blaine WA.

BACKGROUND: As the third busiest POE on the norther U.S. border, the Blaine POE has seen a steady increase in traffic. On peak travel days, the Blaine Peace Arch and Pacific Highway Ports of Entry experience exceptionally high wait-times. The Pacific Highway POE has six primary inspection lanes, five of which operate as general vehicle processing lanes, and one that operates as a NEXUS Lane. The POE also has three commercial lanes; of which one lane contains a Hi / Low booth that is utilized to process NEXUS traffic during high peak travel days. Steadily increasing NEXUS traffic volumes have far exceeded existing POE facility capabilities. During peak travel periods, vehicles are routed through cargo lane one (Hi / Low booth) in order to maintain CBP’s service standard for NEXUS and reduce wait-times for general traffic. Utilizing High/Low booths in the cargo lanes will allow the port to efficiently manage wait-times in the general traffic lanes, as well as NEXUS.
