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. Phase 1 Construction, completed in 2018, provided a Head House, ten (10) of the project’s sixteen planned (16) northbound POV inspection lanes; including Primary and Secondary inspection canopies; southbound POV inspection lanes with temporary asphalt paving; and a bridge across the New River for southbound POV traffic. Phase 2A is scheduled to be completed at the beginning of 2024 which includes selective demolition and modification of existing areas to allow the construction of Phase 2A; a new Administration building; Permanent southbound Privately-Owned Vehicle (POV) non-commercial inspection lanes, inspection islands, booths, canopies and permanent concrete paving; A preprimary inspection canopy for the northbound POV lanes heading into the United States; New POV northbound inspection lanes including, inspection islands, booths, canopies and concrete paving, and expanding the secondary POV inspection area; A new employee parking lot adjacent to southbound inspection that includes an underground pedestrian tunnel from the parking lot under the southbound lanes; and extension of utilities for future Pedestrian building project.
The third phase and subject of this solicitation notice is Phase 2B which includes:
CONTRACT TYPE: The contract type will be Firm-Fixed Price Design -Build contract.
PRICE: The Calexico Phase 2B construction project including base and all options is estimated to be between $120,000,000.00 and $200,000,000.00, subject to available of funds. The NAICS Code for this procurement is 236220.
