Raul Hector Castro Douglas AZ Land Port of Entry Design-Build

The GSA Solicitation No. 47PK0125R0002 outlines a Firm-Fixed Price contract structure across three tracks for various construction, design, and abatement projects. Track 1 encompasses a Base Scope of Work with Tenant Agency FF&E Work Items, including stormwater relocation, demolition, hazardous material abatement (lead, PCB, asbestos, soil), site work, emergency power, FMCSA inspection facility, POV vehicle inspection, main building (pedestrian processing, passport control, sallyport, admin, staff, mission support), employee parking, and a public-facing building. It also includes allowances for historic buildings mitigation, art in architecture, stormwater, additional hazardous materials, and utilities. Tenant Agency FF&E Work Items cover CBP basic systems, furniture, move services, technology systems, relocation of inspection booths, LEP lane infrastructure, and floor finish changes, along with systems for ICE, FMCSA, and GSA Building Management. Track 2 focuses solely on the Base Scope of Work with allowances, mirroring the core construction and abatement aspects of Track 1 but excluding the tenant agency-specific FF&E work items. Track 3, Scope Refinement, details a revised base scope with options for various main building components, hazardous material abatement, and parking, also including the same set of allowances as the previous tracks. The document specifies that “Option” is an alternate base pricing path, not a contractual option with a designated timeframe. Optional bid rates for overhead, profit, and daily delay rates are included for negotiation but will not influence the award decision.
