About this opportunity
The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service is seeking a design-build contractor for the Kika De La Garza Land Port of Entry Border Roadway Improvement and Construction project in Pharr, Texas. The project involves repairing or replacing approximately 515,000 square feet of concrete pavement across 22 sites within the Land Port of Entry, with work including complete reconstruction, surface reconstruction, mill and overlay operations, joint sealing, patching, and replacement of reinforced concrete sections ranging from 8 to 13 inches thick. The contract is funded in part by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and requires the use of Low Embodied Carbon materials including concrete, asphalt, and steel, with specific greenhouse gas emission limits and Environmental Product Declaration requirements. Award will be based on a best value methodology evaluating four factors: Past Experience (35%), Key Personnel (30%), Management Plan (20%), and Sustainability-LEC Materials (15%). However, Amendment 6 dated June 10, 2025 indicates that GSA has determined it is not in the best interest of the government to proceed with this solicitation at this time.
This procurement was designated as a total small business set-aside requiring contractors to hold NAICS code 237310 (Concrete and Asphalt Paving) with the current size standard of $45.0 million. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The construction cost magnitude is estimated between $20 million and $30 million, with an anticipated performance period of approximately 460 calendar days. The work location is at the Kika De La Garza Land Port of Entry at 9901 S. Cage Boulevard, Pharr, Texas, and construction phasing is required to maintain continuous LPOE traffic flow and operations during the project. The original proposal due date had been extended multiple times through various amendments, with the final due date set for January 21, 2025, before the solicitation was ultimately cancelled.
