Design Bid Build (DBB) Construction Requirement for Alburg Springs Land Port of Entry (LPOE), Alburg, Vermont

The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS) Office of Acquisition Management intends to hire a construction contractor for a Repair and Alteration (R&A) and Driveway Extension project at the Land Port of Entry (LPOE) in Alburg Springs, VT. The Driveway Extension will be included in the project as a contract option. The Government will utilize the Design-Bid-Build (DBB) delivery method. DBB is the traditional delivery method where design and construction are sequential and contracted for separately, with two contracts and two contractors. The project shall adhere to the GSA PBS Core Building Standards and the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 2023 Land Port of Entry Design Standard.

The Alburg Springs LPOE is located at 303 Alburgh Springs Road, in Alburgh, VT. CBP is the tenant and operates out of the buildings and the land. The LPOE is located on the westerly side of Alburg Springs Road, also known as Town Highway 2, and located adjacent to the international border between Dominion of Canada and the United States of America in the Town of Alburgh, County of Grand Isle, State of Vermont. The LPOE is in a rural area just west of Lake Champlain and approximately five miles northeast of the Town of Alburgh, Vermont. The LPOE is across the border from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Office in Clarenceville, Quebec. The U.S. port operates 7 days a week from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and the Canadian port operates from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.

The main goal for this project is to provide a renovated LPOE with the addition of a driveway extension for CBP and GSA that will meet each agency’s requirements and allow for efficient operations. The R&A portion is needed to modernize the port, correct port deficiencies, and bring the LPOE up to current standards based on the Program of Requirements provided by GSA and CBP. The project will be completed in a way that will incorporate the existing Historic Facility, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Major elements of the project will include gates and guardrails for primary passenger and commercial lanes, a new officer inspection booth, interior upgrades, such as all new floorplan, and new and upgraded MEP and Security. The driveway portion will address the security challenges at the LPOE with local traffic entering and exiting their residential properties directly in front of the port.

The port will be fully closed during all construction activities.
