GSA to Hold a Design & Construction Industry Day for the New U.S. Land Port of Entry in Madawaska, Maine June 20, 2019 in Bangor, Maine

BOSTON – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) New England Region will host a two-part Design & Construction Industry Day for the New U.S. Land Port of Entry in Madawaska, Maine.

The project consists of the construction of a new U.S. Land Port of Entry (LPOE) on behalf of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and managed by GSA.

The industry day will focus on the LPOE portion of the project. The first segment will be a project presentation, and the second segment will be networking and one-on-one sessions between industry and GSA.

The event will be held in Bangor, Maine on Thursday, June 20, 2019, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Hilton Garden Inn, 250 Haskell Road Bangor, Maine 04401.

Businesses (not exclusive of architect engineering firms, general contractors, subcontractor trades, and material suppliers) interested in the new LPOE Project – located in Madawaska, Maine – are encouraged to attend.

The proposed design development is anticipated to begin in Spring 2020, with construction of the Madawaska LPOE anticipated to begin no earlier than Summer 2020 and be complete by Fall/Winter 2022. This schedule is in anticipation of a Fall/Winter 2022 Madawaska-Edmundston International Bridge Replacement Project completion.

This project is defined as a new construction project, using a collaborative Design Build Bridging approach that follows the GSA Design Excellence and Operational Excellence guidelines, the GSA Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service (P-100) 2018, and meets U.S. Green Building Council LEED Gold.

GSA has contracted with a Design Build-Bridging Architect who is the Owner’s Design Consultant (ODC) and who will define the preliminary design and performance specifications through the equivalent of the Concept Phase and then produce the Bridging Contract Documents that must fully protect the design intent, quality and project budget.
