Van Buren LPOE Asphalt Removal and Replacement, Phase II

The General Services Administration, through its Pbs Project Delivery East - Branch B office, is soliciting proposals for the removal and replacement of approximately 53,000 square feet of asphalt at the Van Buren Land Point of Entry in Van Buren, Maine, under solicitation number 47PC5226R0040. This project is structured as a base and option contract, with roughly 80% of the total area comprising the base requirement and the remaining 20% as an option, reflecting budgetary planning. The scope includes complete asphalt removal and disposal, reapplication of new asphalt surfaces, and the re-application of road markings, all in accordance with a Maine Department of Transportation-approved traffic control plan. The procurement is exclusively set aside for HUBZone small businesses, and participation requires registration on SAM.gov. The award will be made using FAR Part 15 procedures based on best value, where technical factors—specifically past performance and prior experience on similar projects—are significantly more important than price. Successful offerors must provide both a performance bond and a payment bond equal to 100 percent of the contract value, as mandated by FAR 28.102-2. The project will be delivered under a Design-Bid-Build methodology, with performance occurring entirely at the Van Buren, Maine location. The solicitation will be available electronically on or about the week of June 8, 2026, and all information, including amendments, must be monitored through SAM.gov. Interested parties are strongly encouraged to attend a pre-proposal conference and site visit scheduled for June 2026 via Google Meet, though formal requirements for attendance notification will be detailed in the full solicitation. All inquiries must be directed to Jeffery Linskens at jeffery.linskens@gsa.gov. While detailed evaluation criteria, contract administration details, and exact submission formats have not been released, the government has indicated that proposals will be assessed rigorously on technical merit, with price playing a secondary role. The response deadline is July 14, 2026, and no contract value has been disclosed at this time.
