The purpose of this Special Notice is to share with industry an upcoming Land Port of Entry project in Region 05, located in International Falls, Minnesota. This special notice is for informational purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation or commitment by the Government. Depending on market research and other influences, GSA anticipates issuing a solicitation for this project around Spring 2025. This is not a request for offers or proposals. The Government does not intend to award a contract based on responses and the Government is not obligated to and will not pay for information received as a result of this special notice. Project Location: International Falls, Land Port of Entry 2 Second Ave International Falls, MN 56649 Project Description: The anticipated project is a new land port of entry facility on the northern border in Minnesota. The proposed site is in International Falls, adjacent to an existing Land Port of Entry. This new project will be a gateway to our country and will transform an obsolete border facility into a state-of-the-art commercial port of entry, which will improve safety and security for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. It shall make a distinct architectural statement that is responsive to the efficient movement of trade and commerce, the security requirements of law enforcement agencies, and the welcoming of visitors and citizens to the United States of America. The intended delivery method is Design-Bid-Build with a lump sum firm-fixed price. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the current tenant, and the Department of Agriculture Plant Protection and Quarantine (USDA) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be joining CBP as new tenants at the new LPOE. The existing facility was constructed in 1993, and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Although the existing Land Port of Entry is only roughly 30 years old, it was designed and constructed several years before the creation of DHS which resulted in significant changes to the way business operations occur at the border. This project represents an opportunity to support the supply chain; International Falls has the highest traffic volume of any port in Minnesota. In 2021, the port facilitated over $12 billion worth of trade. By redesigning and expanding the port’s infrastructure, the port will be able to accommodate higher volumes of trade. The project will achieve LEED Gold certification or higher. To achieve that sustainability goal, the project intends to specify energy efficient products/systems, use environmentally preferable products, protect and conserve water, enhance indoor air quality, and other scope elements that apply to various LEED credits. The newly designed port will increase vehicle and pedestrian processing efficiency and capacity; reduce traffic queues and delays in both directions; minimize conflict points among passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, trains, buses, and pedestrians; add a functional secondary inspection area for commercial vehicles; and accommodate safety, security, technology, and future demand. The site expansion will also provide area for additional customer tenant agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Delivery Method Design-Bid-Build / General Contractor (GC) Scope Summary The construction scope of work includes all labor and materials required for the General Contractor (GC) to provide construction services for the International Falls Land Point of Entry project. The services requested of the GC shall cover a wide range of construction activities, as defined below. Project Description & Approach GSA envisions a highly collaborative approach for this project where the GC works closely with all stakeholders to deliver a project which meets the expectations and needs of the team members and also GSA’s requirements. The project is to include conformance to the P-100 (Facility Standards for Public Buildings) and all other applicable building codes and standards. The GC will be selected through a best value / tradeoff selection process. During construction, the GC will work in close consultation with GSA, stakeholders, A/E, and construction manager as agent to ensure that all of the goals are addressed and that best value practices are utilized. The GC will participate in an informal partnering process throughout construction to promote successful project development and execution including an enhanced project kick-off meeting. All installed systems will be fully commissioned and functionally tested to ensure compliance with contract documents prior to being accepted by GSA. The GC’s proposed firm-fixed-price for construction shall include all labor and materials required to provide construction services for the International Falls Land Point of Entry project. The GC shall have complete responsibility for all construction related to the project scope. The project is funded under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. Project Delivery Schedule Construction NTP is estimated to start in October 2025 with approximately 1120 calendar days for the overall project construction. Unique Situations/Risks The budget and schedule have been identified as significant risks. The need for continuous operation of the neighboring Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) paper mill as well as CBP during construction presents unique challenges for the GC teams on the project. The paper mill and CBP border crossing will remain fully occupied and operational during construction. No avoidable adverse impact on tenant mission or neighboring stakeholders will be acceptable. In addition to the construction opportunity reflected herein, GSA is seeking suppliers and manufacturers that are interested in supplying low embodied carbon asphalt, concrete (and cement), glass and steel materials for the project. Suppliers and manufacturers of materials meeting GSA’s Inflation Reduction Act Low Embodied Carbon asphalt, concrete (and cement), glass and steel requirements are encouraged to reach out to the point of contact listed below. Size Standard Sources are being sought for firms with a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) of 236220 - Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The small business size standard for NAICS code 236220 is $45 million in average annual receipts over the past three (3) years. The estimated total construction costs for the project falls within the approximate range of $184,000,000 to $194,000,000. It is anticipated that the Request For Proposal (RFP) will be posted to Federal Business Opportunities (SAM.gov) during the late Winter/Spring 2025. The awardee will be required to undergo the security clearance process. The full extent of the work will be described in the solicitation when it is posted. No additional information will be available before the solicitation is posted.

The GC will be competitively chosen using source selection (FAR 15) procedures. The objective of the source selection process is to select a proposal which represents the best value to the Government. The award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and offers the best value to the Government, considering the technical factors and total evaluated price. For this procurement, the technical factors will be significantly more important than price (FAR 15.101-1, Trade Offs). The technical factors will include Experience in providing General Construction Services on similar projects; Project Management Plan/Approach; Qualifications and Experience of Key Personnel; and Past Performance in providing General Construction on similar projects. A Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be required from any non small business concerns. The Government reserves the right to make an award on initial offers, but discussions may be held if appropriate. The estimated total construction costs for the project falls within the approximate range of $193,000,000 to $203,000,000. The General Construction Award is anticipated to commence upon award of the contract in or about Winter 2026, with a performance period of approximately 1103 calendar days for the project after on site notice to proceed and substantial completion. The anticipated project is a new land port of entry on the northern border in Minnesota. The proposed site is in International Falls, adjacent to the existing Land Port of Entry. This new project will be a gateway to the United States and will transform an obsolete border facility into a state-of-the-art commercial port of entry, which will improve safety and security for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. It shall make a distinct architectural statement that is responsive to the efficient movement of trade and commerce, the security requirements of law enforcement agencies, and the welcoming of visitors and citizens in the United States of America. The intended delivery method is Design-Bid-Build awarded at a firm-fixed price. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the current tenant, and the Department of Agriculture Plant Protection and Quarantine (USDA) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be joining CBP as new tenants at the new LPOE. The existing facility was constructed in 1993, and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Although the existing Land Port of Entry is only roughly 30 years old, it was designed and constructed several years before the creation of DHS which resulted in significant changes to the way business operations occur at the border. This project represents an opportunity to support the supply chain; International Falls has the highest traffic volume of any port in Minnesota. In 2021, the port facilitated over $12 billion worth of trade. By redesigning and expanding the port’s infrastructure, the port will be able to accommodate higher volumes of trade. The newly designed port will increase vehicle and pedestrian processing efficiency and capacity; reduce traffic queues and delays in both directions; minimize conflict points among passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, trains, buses, and pedestrians; add a functional secondary inspection area for commercial vehicles; and accommodate safety, security, technology, and future demand. The site expansion will also provide area for additional customer tenant agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Protection and Quarantine. Delivery Method Design-Bid-Build Scope Summary The General Construction Contractor (GC) scope of work includes all labor and materials required to provide construction services for the International Falls Land Port of Entry project, which shall cover a wide range of activities as defined below. The GC shall be an actively engaged member of the project team during construction and turnover/closeout stages. The GC selected for this project shall work in alignment with the GSA and GSA’s selected team, including the Architect and Engineer (A/E) firm, the Construction Manager as Agent (CMa), and other contracts partners. The GC is responsible for the administration of the construction stage and involvement in both project development and closeout stages. The design for the project will conform to the 2025 PBS Core Building Standards, applicable agency design guides, and other building codes and standards as applicable to this project. Design services will be accomplished through a separate contract, will be necessary to meet the functional requirements of prospective tenants, fulfill policy and regulatory criteria, and provide state of the art workplaces that help define interior design standards for the building. Designed solutions shall be consistent with the latest objectives of GSA, prospective tenants, and best practices in architectural planning and design. The project is funded under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA [formally referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law]) and the Inflation Reduction Act. Joint Ventures: Joint venture or firm/consultant arrangements will be considered and must submit an acceptable joint venture agreement. The solicitation package will be available on or about 7/2/2025 and will only be available electronically.

The GC will be competitively chosen using source selection (FAR 15) procedures. The objective of the source selection process is to select a proposal which represents the best value to the Government. The award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and offers the best value to the Government, considering the technical factors and total evaluated price. For this procurement, the technical factors will be significantly more important than price (FAR 15.101-1, Trade Offs). The technical factors will include Experience in providing General Construction Services on similar projects; Project Management Plan/Approach; Qualifications and Experience of Key Personnel; and Past Performance in providing General Construction on similar projects. A Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be required from any non small business concerns. The Government reserves the right to make an award on initial offers, but discussions may be held if appropriate. The estimated total construction costs for the project falls within the approximate range of $193,000,000 to $203,000,000. The General Construction Award is anticipated to commence upon award of the contract in or about Winter 2026, with a performance period of approximately 1103 calendar days for the project after on site notice to proceed and substantial completion. The anticipated project is a new land port of entry on the northern border in Minnesota. The proposed site is in International Falls, adjacent to the existing Land Port of Entry. This new project will be a gateway to the United States and will transform an obsolete border facility into a state-of-the-art commercial port of entry, which will improve safety and security for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. It shall make a distinct architectural statement that is responsive to the efficient movement of trade and commerce, the security requirements of law enforcement agencies, and the welcoming of visitors and citizens in the United States of America. The intended delivery method is Design-Bid-Build awarded at a firm-fixed price. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the current tenant, and the Department of Agriculture Plant Protection and Quarantine (USDA) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be joining CBP as new tenants at the new LPOE. The existing facility was constructed in 1993, and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Although the existing Land Port of Entry is only roughly 30 years old, it was designed and constructed several years before the creation of DHS which resulted in significant changes to the way business operations occur at the border. This project represents an opportunity to support the supply chain; International Falls has the highest traffic volume of any port in Minnesota. In 2021, the port facilitated over $12 billion worth of trade. By redesigning and expanding the port’s infrastructure, the port will be able to accommodate higher volumes of trade. The newly designed port will increase vehicle and pedestrian processing efficiency and capacity; reduce traffic queues and delays in both directions; minimize conflict points among passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, trains, buses, and pedestrians; add a functional secondary inspection area for commercial vehicles; and accommodate safety, security, technology, and future demand. The site expansion will also provide area for additional customer tenant agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Protection and Quarantine. Delivery Method: Design-Bid-Build Scope Summary The General Construction Contractor (GC) scope of work includes all labor and materials required to provide construction services for the International Falls Land Port of Entry project, which shall cover a wide range of activities as defined below. The GC shall be an actively engaged member of the project team during construction and turnover/closeout stages. The GC selected for this project shall work in alignment with the GSA and GSA’s selected team, including the Architect and Engineer (A/E) firm, the Construction Manager as Agent (CMa), and other contracts partners. The GC is responsible for the administration of the construction stage and involvement in both project development and closeout stages. The design for the project will conform to the 2025 PBS Core Building Standards, applicable agency design guides, and other building codes and standards as applicable to this project. Design services, which have been accomplished through a separate contract, will meet the functional requirements of prospective tenants, fulfill policy and regulatory criteria, and provide state of the art workplaces that help define interior design standards for the building. Designed solutions shall be consistent with the latest objectives of GSA, prospective tenants, and best practices in architectural planning and design. The project is funded under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA [formally referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law]). Joint Ventures: Joint venture or firm/consultant arrangements will be considered and must submit an acceptable joint venture agreement.

The GC will be competitively chosen using source selection (FAR 15) procedures. The objective of the source selection process is to select a proposal which represents the best value to the Government. The award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and offers the best value to the Government, considering the technical factors and total evaluated price. For this procurement, the technical factors will be significantly more important than price (FAR 15.101-1, Trade Offs). The technical factors will include Experience in providing General Construction Services on similar projects; Project Management Plan/Approach; Qualifications and Experience of Key Personnel; and Past Performance in providing General Construction on similar projects. A Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be required from any non small business concerns. The Government reserves the right to make an award on initial offers, but discussions may be held if appropriate. The estimated total construction costs for the project falls within the approximate range of $193,000,000 to $203,000,000. The General Construction Award is anticipated to commence upon award of the contract in or about Winter 2026, with a performance period of approximately 1103 calendar days for the project after on site notice to proceed and substantial completion. The anticipated project is a new land port of entry on the northern border in Minnesota. The proposed site is in International Falls, adjacent to the existing Land Port of Entry. This new project will be a gateway to the United States and will transform an obsolete border facility into a state-of-the-art commercial port of entry, which will improve safety and security for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. It shall make a distinct architectural statement that is responsive to the efficient movement of trade and commerce, the security requirements of law enforcement agencies, and the welcoming of visitors and citizens in the United States of America. The intended delivery method is Design-Bid-Build awarded at a firm-fixed price. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the current tenant, and the Department of Agriculture Plant Protection and Quarantine (USDA) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be joining CBP as new tenants at the new LPOE. The existing facility was constructed in 1993, and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Although the existing Land Port of Entry is only roughly 30 years old, it was designed and constructed several years before the creation of DHS which resulted in significant changes to the way business operations occur at the border. This project represents an opportunity to support the supply chain; International Falls has the highest traffic volume of any port in Minnesota. In 2021, the port facilitated over $12 billion worth of trade. By redesigning and expanding the port’s infrastructure, the port will be able to accommodate higher volumes of trade. The newly designed port will increase vehicle and pedestrian processing efficiency and capacity; reduce traffic queues and delays in both directions; minimize conflict points among passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, trains, buses, and pedestrians; add a functional secondary inspection area for commercial vehicles; and accommodate safety, security, technology, and future demand. The site expansion will also provide area for additional customer tenant agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Protection and Quarantine. Delivery Method: Design-Bid-Build Scope Summary The General Construction Contractor (GC) scope of work includes all labor and materials required to provide construction services for the International Falls Land Port of Entry project, which shall cover a wide range of activities as defined below.

The GC will be competitively chosen using source selection (FAR 15) procedures. The objective of the source selection process is to select a proposal which represents the best value to the Government. The award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and offers the best value to the Government, considering the technical factors and total evaluated price. For this procurement, the technical factors will be significantly more important than price (FAR 15.101-1, Trade Offs). The technical factors will include Experience in providing General Construction Services on similar projects; Project Management Plan/Approach; Qualifications and Experience of Key Personnel; and Past Performance in providing General Construction on similar projects. A Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be required from any non small business concerns. The Government reserves the right to make an award on initial offers, but discussions may be held if appropriate. The estimated total construction costs for the project falls within the approximate range of $193,000,000 to $203,000,000. The General Construction Award is anticipated to commence upon award of the contract in or about Winter 2026, with a performance period of approximately 1103 calendar days for the project after on site notice to proceed and substantial completion. The anticipated project is a new land port of entry on the northern border in Minnesota. The proposed site is in International Falls, adjacent to the existing Land Port of Entry. This new project will be a gateway to the United States and will transform an obsolete border facility into a state-of-the-art commercial port of entry, which will improve safety and security for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. It shall make a distinct architectural statement that is responsive to the efficient movement of trade and commerce, the security requirements of law enforcement agencies, and the welcoming of visitors and citizens in the United States of America. The intended delivery method is Design-Bid-Build awarded at a firm-fixed price. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the current tenant, and the Department of Agriculture Plant Protection and Quarantine (USDA) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be joining CBP as new tenants at the new LPOE. The existing facility was constructed in 1993, and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Although the existing Land Port of Entry is only roughly 30 years old, it was designed and constructed several years before the creation of DHS which resulted in significant changes to the way business operations occur at the border. This project represents an opportunity to support the supply chain; International Falls has the highest traffic volume of any port in Minnesota. In 2021, the port facilitated over $12 billion worth of trade. By redesigning and expanding the port’s infrastructure, the port will be able to accommodate higher volumes of trade. The newly designed port will increase vehicle and pedestrian processing efficiency and capacity; reduce traffic queues and delays in both directions; minimize conflict points among passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, trains, buses, and pedestrians; add a functional secondary inspection area for commercial vehicles; and accommodate safety, security, technology, and future demand. The site expansion will also provide area for additional customer tenant agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Protection and Quarantine.
