Project Description The Calexico West Land Port of Entry (LPOE) is one of the busiest crossings on the southern border. The space required for modern inspection technologies is insufficient and the ability of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to accomplish its rapidly changing mission is seriously compromised by the existing facilities. When completed, the project will provide proper operational space for port operations, with reduced traffic congestion and a safe environment for port Customs and Border Protection (CBP) staff and the general public. The overall project involves the demolition of the current Pedestrian and Northbound POV inspection facility and the construction of a new Pedestrian Processing Facility. The downtown Calexico port is the principal gateway between California's Imperial Valley and the Mexican State of Baja California. On an average day, over 16,000 privately operated vehicles and 12,500 pedestrians enter the United States through this port. The existing facilities are undersized for today's traffic loads and obsolete in terms of inspection, CBP officer safety and border security. Currently, pedestrian inspection delays cause significant impact to the Imperial Valley economy. The LPOE's existing structures is being replaced by three (3) buildings totaling 106,605 GSF. The project is being implemented in three (3) phases.
