The General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service Capital Project Delivery Division is soliciting qualified contractors to provide design-build construction services for the modernization and expansion of the Bridge of the Americas Land Port of Entry (BOTA LPOE) in El Paso, Texas. This project involves replacing the existing deteriorated port facilities with a new, modernized port to better accommodate growing traffic volumes, including privately owned vehicles, commercial vehicles, pedestrians, and buses. Construction will include an administration building with an expanded pedestrian inspection area, primary and secondary vehicle inspection facilities, parking expansion, a seized vehicle processing area, a kennel, several canopies, outbound inspection facilities, an outbound support office, new paving, and a bus inspection facility for Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration staff.

Additional tasks will cover site planning, utility relocation if needed, testing, inspections, commissioning, and any required site analyses. Safety measures are mandatory throughout the project. The anticipated duration for completion is approximately 1,610 calendar days, with an estimated design and construction cost ranging from $400 million to $460 million. The procurement is unrestricted and open to all business sizes, with proposal evaluations conducted through a two-phase design-build selection process using trade-off methodology under FAR guidelines.

The GSA PBS Capital Project Delivery Division is seeking a qualified contractor to provide design-build construction services for the expansion of the BOTA LPOE in El Paso, TX.
This project is for the design and construction of a new port of entry to replace the existing port. The current Land Port of Entry (LPOE) is a full-service port that inspects privately owned and commercial vehicles and pedestrians. It is currently operating from outdated, deteriorating facilities that do not adequately meet the functional needs of the tenant. The new construction project will correct port deficiencies and modernize its facility to accommodate the increasing traffic. The current LPOE will be required to stay in continuous operation during the construction; the contractor will be required to phase the construction. At the start of construction, commercial traffic will be permanently redirected to nearby LPOEs. The project construction components include but not limited to construction of an administration building to include an expanded pedestrian inspection area; primary and secondary passenger vehicle inspection facilities; outside vehicle parking expansion; seized vehicle processing area; a kennel; canopies, outbound inspection for pedestrian and privately owned vehicles and buses, outbound support office building and new paving throughout the LPOE. The project will also include bus inspection facilities for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), including a canopy and building for FMCSA staff.

The contractor shall provide all materials, labor, tools, equipment and daily supervision to accomplish tasks as outlined in contract documents. Contractor is also responsible for all necessary safety measures.
Potential NAICS is 236220 with a size standard of $45.0 million. The PSC/FSC is Z2AZ (Repair or Alterations of Other Administrative Facilities and Service Buildings).
