PROJECT BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION: The Pacific Highway (Hwy) Land Port of Entry (LPOE), located in Blaine WA, sits on an 11.8-acre site and consists of two buildings - the Auto/Bus and the Commercial/Warehouse buildings. The Port, which was expanded and renovated in 1999, is the main commercial port of entry between the State of Washington and British Columbia, Canada, and is operated by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The LPOE facilities house several different Federal agencies responsible for protecting the border and facilitating border crossings. The LPOE operates 24/7/365. The Lane expansion will be located on GSA owned property, at the existing Land Port of Entry, Pacific Highway, located at 9901 Pacific Highway, Blaine, WA. 98230. The project will be designed and constructed in English units. The General Services Administration (GSA) completed a feasibility study in 2018 to evaluate port requirements for additional passenger vehicle capacity and develop alternative scenarios to meet those needs. Background data for this feasibility study was collected through review and analysis of relevant studies, record plans, and traffic data. The project team performed a field survey to define property boundaries, confirm site features, and conducted a site visit to view current infrastructure, operations, and traffic movement firsthand. Stakeholder interviews were held with the port's primary tenant, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). CBP interviews focused on facility operations and CBP requirements for the site. These discussions, along with the data analysis, were used to guide the operations and needs discussion in this report. Additional communications with Canadian border agencies and an area planning organization were held to ensure that the final recommended solution will integrate with other planned improvements in the border area. The feasibility study focused on the Inbound Primary and Secondary POV Inspection areas and provides a concept that addresses the following items: POV wait time reductions POV processing capacity needs Increasing pedestrian safety and monitoring Increasing travel efficiency between Primary and Secondary Inspections PROJECT SCOPE: The project will install four new lanes east of the existing booths for a total of 10 POV primary inspection lanes, ten (10) new booths will be installed for the 10 POV inspection lanes, the existing half "Christmas Tree" layout will be expanded in the Secondary Inspection area to provide a full Christmas Tree layout, six enlarged bays for vehicle enforcement inspections and a total of 24 Secondary Main Building referral parking spots. This project, because of the additional lanes and installation of new technology islands, may also impact multiple building systems, including but not limited to electrical; mechanical; plumbing; fire protection and suppression; HVAC; and security (IDS) systems. After the installation of the booths, technology islands, NII equipment are complete, the HVAC system will be tested and re-balanced, electrical systems will be tested/commissioned to reflect the added load and NII equipment will be tested to ensure equipment works according to design. The project will consist of a full design and issued for Construction estimates, drawings, and specifications, demolition, construction, and commissioning services. It will also include civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, fire safety, security, utilizing the US CBP design standards for security and safety concerns. It will incorporate sustainable design principles and innovative technologies to include GSA Design Excellence Program requirements, Key Sustainable materials, to include all US Government mandated sustainable material requirements. The project will meet LEED Gold and SITE Silver certification, per the BIL requirements. GSA implemented new national standards for low embodied concrete and environmentally preferable asphalt. GSA's new low embodied carbon concrete standard requires construction contractors to provide environmental product declarations (EPDs). An EPD is a standard, third party-verified summary that lists the primary environmental impacts associated with a product's extraction, transportation, and manufacture. The standard also asks contractors to provide concrete that meets numeric limits for greenhouse gas emissions, or "embodied carbon," associated with its production; EPDs contain these numbers. GSA's limits reflect a 20% reduction from the limits for concrete in model code language. GSA intends for the LPOE to be occupied for the duration of the design and construction project, with the demolition and construction work being performed during work hours and after hours. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time. *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document.
