The Kenneth G. Ward (Lynden) Land Port of Entry is a limited-service port operating 16 hours daily serving personal vehicles, buses, and limited (permit only) commercial truck traffic between Lynden, WA and Aldergrove, British Columbia. The existing port was last modernized in 1986 and is no longer able to meet the operational needs of US CBP. The port’s limited commercial capability results in unbalanced demand and escalating wait times at other commercial ports in the surrounding area. The modernization project will: expand, separate, and relocate Privately Owned Vehicles (POV) and Commercial vehicles. The Sumas Land Port of Entry serves personal vehicles, buses, pedestrians and commercial traffic between Sumas, WA and British Columbia. It has the 2nd most pedestrian crossings along the Northern Border and was last modernized in 1988. The Sumas LPOE is no longer able to meet the operational needs of the US CBP. GSA will expand and modernize POV and commercial screening operations. The modernization project will: increase POV lanes from 5 to 6 and commercial lanes from 2 to 4. It will also provide a dedicated pedestrian corridor and outbound inspection processing. The Sumas LPOE is located in a floodplain that experienced a significant flooding event in 2021. Flood- and stormwater management will be a significant aspect of the Sumas project. GSA intends to award a firm-fixed price design-build contract pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) two-phase design-build selection procedures (FAR Subpart 36.3). For this contract award process, GSA will issue two Solicitations in sequence: Phase 1 and Phase 2, respectively. The purpose of Phase 1 (the Request for Qualifications) is to select the most highly qualified Offerors from Phase 1 to participate in Phase 2 (the Request for Proposals). Once Phase 1 is complete, the Contracting Officer will invite the “short-listed” Offerors to submit Phase 2 proposals. Potential Offerors are hereby placed on notice that GSA will publicly announce the names of the Phase 1 “short-list” on SAM.gov. Maximum Number of “Short-Listed” Offerors: The Contracting Officer will select a maximum of three (3) of the most highly rated Offerors to proceed to Phase 2. Phase 2 of the solicitation is prepared in accordance with FAR Part 15 and includes the Phase 2 evaluation factors, developed in accordance with 15.304. Phase 2 solicitations require submission of technical and price proposals, which are evaluated separately, in accordance with Part 15. Stipend: In consideration for the preparation of a Phase 2 technical proposal, GSA will pay a stipend to Offerors not selected for award of the resulting contract. Offerors that submit incomplete or unacceptable Phase 2 proposals will not be eligible for a stipend. For the avoidance of doubt, no stipend is paid during Phase 1. At the conclusion of Phase 2, GSA intends to award a contract to a single Offeror for all design and all construction services. This procurement will be open to large business firms. The firm shall be required to present an acceptable small business subcontracting plan in accordance with FAR 19.7, as part of its proposal.

This announcement is issued solely for market research and planning purposes. It does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposals, or offer. No contract will be awarded from this notice. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with submission of information in response to this notice. PROJECT OVERVIEW The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), Region 8, Capital Construction Branch is seeking capable and experienced Design-Build (D-B) firms for the modernization of the Lynden & Sumas Land Ports of Entry (LPOE), located in Washington. The Government is conducting a market survey to identify qualified large and small businesses with substantial design-build experience on complex, remote projects of similar size, scope, and technical challenges. • Estimated Construction Magnitude: Over $400 million • NAICS Code: 236220 – Commercial and Institutional Building Construction • Small Business Size Standard: $45 million PROJECT DESCRIPTION The two (2) ports are briefly described below. KENNETH G. WARD (LYNDEN) LPOE The Lynden LPOE, occupying approximately 4.7 acres, is located along the US-Canadian border at the northern end of Washington State Route (SR) 539 (aka Guide-Meridian Road). The port, which is approximately 6 miles north of the city of Lynden WA, sits approximately 10 miles to the east of the Peace Arch and Pacific Highway LPOEs (which are in nearby Blaine WA), and sits approximately 10 miles to the west of the Sumas LPOE. The existing port was last modernized in the late 1980s. The port operates 16 hours a day (08:00-00:00), 365 days a year processing commercial, privately owned vehicles (POVs), buses, and a limited number of pedestrian crossings. The port operates as a permit-only commercial location, limiting commercial traffic to entities that are transporting empty loads or who have prescheduled limited (monetary value) loads with CBP for transit through Lynden. SUMAS LPOE The Sumas LPOE, which occupies approximately 4.0 acres, is located on WA SR 9 (aka Cherry Street) at the northern end of the city of Sumas WA. The port is surrounded by the US-Canadian border to the north, mixed use commercial and residential properties to the east and south, and a Burlington-Northern & Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad to the immediate west. The port, which was last modernized in the 1980s, sits approximately 10 miles to the east of the Lynden LPOE. The port operates 24/7/365 processing commercial, POVs, buses, and a significant number of pedestrian crossings. Sumas processes the 2nd most pedestrian crossings, after the Niagara Falls LPOE, along the northern US border. A significant number of these pedestrians make their way to & from Canada, transiting through the Sumas LPOE, to access several storefront shipping locations in the downtown Sumas business district just south of the port to pick up packages shipped to, or within, the US. The Sumas LPOE and project site are in a floodplain that recently (2021) experienced a significant flooding event. Flood- and stormwater management will be a significant aspect of the Sumas project. The project must simultaneously: 1) ensure that the modernized port is adequately protected; 2) ensure that any management and mitigation efforts employed at the port do not introduce adverse impacts to the neighboring community; and 3) ensure that any flood- and stormwater mitigation efforts that the city, county, state, and/or federal government(s) undertake(s) – separately from the modernization project – to mitigate flood risk in the larger downtown community do not, in turn, negatively impact the port. GSA and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) currently expect that the D-B will employ sequential and concurrent construction phasing when modernizing the two ports. The current expectation is that Lynden will start its construction modernization first and then Sumas will follow approximately midway through construction. This provides CBP with several operational advantages, including the ability to divert at least some of Sumas’ commercial traffic to the modernized Lynden port, on a limited basis, while the Sumas port is modernized after Lynden is brought on-line. It is important to note that the construction of these two ports cannot affect the operational mission of both Lynden and Sumas LPOE’s. The project will seek to accomplish the following goals: • Provide best value to partner agencies and taxpayers • Develop safe, productive, and attractive workplaces • Deliver projects on time and on budget • Achieve building performance that is resilient and efficient • Leverage the skill of America’s most qualified designers and artists • Strive for Design, Construction and Operational Excellence • Provide stewardship for the next generation of respected landmarks The DB contractor will be responsible for the complete design and construction of both ports, including—but not limited to—the following general scope elements: • Demolition and Site Preparation • Removal of outdated port infrastructure, utilities, and impervious surfaces across both sites (approx. 8.7 acres combined). • Site clearing, remediation, and preparation to meet updated floodplain and environmental requirements, particularly at the Sumas site. • New Construction and Modernization • Design and construction of modernized port facilities totaling approximately 117,000 square feet across both locations. • Construction of new inspection facilities for passenger vehicles, buses, commercial traffic, and pedestrians. • Development of support buildings including: o Main Administration and Inspection Facilities o Secure Commercial and POV Inspection Areas o Utility and Infrastructure Support Buildings o Extensive site improvements including access roads, parking areas, pedestrian pathways, landscaping, and perimeter security systems. • Flood and Stormwater Management (Sumas-Specific) • Implementation of flood and stormwater mitigation systems to protect the Sumas LPOE, with consideration of community impact and integration with regional flood control efforts. • Construction Phasing and Operational Continuity • GSA and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) currently expect that the D-B will employ sequential and concurrent construction phasing when modernizing the two ports. The current expectation is that Lynden will start its construction modernization first and then Sumas will follow approximately midway through construction. • Phasing plans must maintain partial operational capability at Sumas, especially for pedestrian and POV processing, throughout the project. Construction of these two ports cannot affect the operational mission of Lynden and Sumas LPOE’s. The DB contractor must coordinate closely with GSA, CBP, and the Construction Manager as Advisor (CMA) to ensure timely delivery, funding compliance, and adherence to all federal and local regulatory requirements. ANTICIPATED PROCUREMENT SCHEDULE • Solicitation Release (Projected): Q4 FY2025 • Contract Award (Projected): April 2026 • Substantial Completion (Projected): March 2030 Note: All dates are estimates and subject to change.
