The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Building Service (PBS) has a requirement for Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) services for two U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Land Ports of Entry (LPOE) – in Fort Fairfield, ME, and in Limestone, ME.

The Fort Fairfield LPOE is located at 4 Boundary Line Road, Fort Fairfield ME. GSA owns the buildings and land. CBP is the tenant and operates out of the buildings and the land. The Fort Fairfield LPOE is situated about 100 feet west of the U.S./Canada border, on the northside of Maine State Route (SR) 161 (Boundary Line Road) and overlooks the Aroostook River Valley to the west. The setting is rural with occasional residences dotting SR 161 (Boundary Line Road) leading to the LPOE. The Fort Fairfield LPOE is located proximate to the Canada Border Services Agency facility located at Andover, New Brunswick on New Brunswick Route 190. The Fort Fairfield LPOE is a surviving facility in the Colonial Revival style erected between 1931 and 1937 and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Tenants include the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and GSA. The main goal for this project is to provide a new LPOE for CBP and GSA by June 2028 that will meet each agency’s requirements and allow them to operate efficiently under the increased traffic volume. Buildings and traffic patterns will be arranged to facilitate a smooth traffic flow, ease congestion, and enhance security for each agency, while providing a welcoming gateway into and out of the United States. The port will be fully operational and occupied during construction 24/7/365; therefore, the work may need to be conducted during non-business hours.

The Limestone LPOE is located at 410 Grand Falls Road, Limestone, ME. GSA owns the buildings and land. CBP is the tenant and operates out of the buildings and the land. The Limestone LPOE is located on Maine State Route 229, east of Limestone, Maine. The site consists of partially developed property and is divided into two parcels that are bisected by Maine State Route 229. The north parcel contains the Main Building, Non-Commercial Primary canopy, vehicle parking area. The fenced area behind the main build has a communication tower and generator for backup power. The south parcel is utilized for the drain field for the septic system. Approximately thirteen percent of the site is paved for vehicle maneuvering, site circulation, and parking. The Tenants include the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and GSA. The main goal for this project is to provide a new LPOE for CBP and GSA by November 2027 that will meet each agency’s requirements and allow them to operate efficiently under the increased traffic volume. Buildings and traffic patterns will be arranged to facilitate a smooth traffic flow, ease congestion, and enhance security for each agency, while providing a welcoming gateway into and out of the United States. The port will be shut down during construction.
