GSA PBS PQA is seeking all qualified, interested sources (both Large and Small Businesses) to respond to this RFI to provide Design-Build (DB) Services for the Repair and Alterations of Limestone Land Port of Entry (LPOE), Limestone, Maine.

Limestone is located at 410 Grand Falls Road in Limestone, Maine, directly across from the Canadian Border Patrol Station at Gillespie Portage. It connects Maine to Grand-Sault, New Brunswick, Canada. The Limestone LPOE was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014, recognized as one of several border crossing stations built between 1930 and 1943 to accommodate increased automobile traffic at remote border locations. Like other stations from this era, the Limestone LPOE is situated along an automobile road in a remote section of the border and provides space for inspections, a holding area, office space, and living quarters for officers. The tenants include the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and GSA. This Repair & Alterations project aims to enhance security at the port and border crossings. The project scope includes constructing a secondary inspection bay and a soft secondary overhang, replacing and renovating pavement around the port, installing a perimeter fence and gates, and adding site lighting along the perimeter and facility. The existing generator will be removed and turned over to the Government, with a new appropriately sized generator installed. The project also involves demolishing the existing primary inspection booth in the main port building and installing a new booth between the inbound POV lane and the commercial traffic lane. Additionally, a new fire alarm system will be installed and integrated into the GSA monitoring system, along with new security cameras throughout the port. The port will be fully operational and occupied during construction. The hours of operation are 6:00am to 6:00pm/12 hours per day/7 days per week.
