This document establishes the Service Processing Center (SPC) Detention Construction Standards (dated November 1, 2004) for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It provides the technical design, physical security, and construction requirements for new capital construction, repairs, and alterations at all federal SPC facilities. The guidelines ensure a safe, secure, and uniform environment for staff, visitors, and detainees. The standards categorize facility spaces into "high," "medium," and "low" security levels, defining the specific wall, floor, ceiling, and penetration assemblies required for each. For instance, high-security walls must utilize reinforced, fully grouted concrete masonry units (CMU), precast concrete, or cast-in-place concrete. The document outlines site requirements, including double-perimeter security fencing, vehicle and pedestrian sallyports, buffer zones, and specialized landscaping to maintain clear lines of sight. Additionally, the guidelines cover structural codes, accessibility requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and interior finish schedules. To maintain fiscal responsibility and local integration, the standards mandate that SPC facilities remain plain and simple in appearance, avoiding any aesthetic excess. Any deviations from these established specifications require a formal "Request for Variance" submission to ICE.

This Government Geotechnical Report, prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Fort Worth District) in July 2023, provides geotechnical design criteria and subgrade requirements for a new, single-story Secure Housing Unit (SHU) at the ICE Service Processing Center in Port Isabel, Texas. The project is being executed under a Design-Build (D-B) contract. Because a site-specific subsurface investigation was not performed at the exact SHU footprint, the report utilizes data from a 2019 investigation of the adjacent kitchen and wastewater treatment plant sites. These previous borings revealed low-plasticity clays, silts, and sands underlain by highly expansive, high-plasticity fat clay, alongside shallow groundwater. To mitigate differential settlement and shrink-swell movements associated with the fat clays, the report mandates a shallow foundation system consisting of either a conventionally reinforced concrete ribbed mat slab or a flat mat slab (post-tensioned slabs are prohibited). Key requirements for the D-B Contractor include: * Performing a site-specific subsurface investigation with borings drilled to a minimum depth of 30 feet. * Removing the upper 3.0 feet of existing soils within the building footprint and replacing them with compacted, non-expansive structural fill. * Utilizing a select clay cap at least 2 feet thick for backfilling excavated areas outside the structure footprint to limit moisture infiltration. * Submitting a comprehensive, sealed Foundation Design Analysis post-award, complete with site-specific boring logs, laboratory testing results, and design calculations.
