Title:
Aldergrove Port of Entry (Design/Build)
Location:
Aldergrove, BC
Work Description:
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), who is mandated for
ensuring that Canada's shared border with the United States of
America (USA) remains secure and efficient, is required to
expand and modernize the port of entry at Aldergrove, British
Columbia. The current facilities, constructed in 1970s, are
beyond economic repair and are no longer functionally suitable
to adequately support CBSA program delivery.
The scope of work involves the design and construction of a new
Port of Entry CBSA inspection plaza. The installations will
include a Main Port Building to process and examine persons
seeking entry into Canada, a Commercial Building to process and
examine commercial shipments prior to entering Canada as well as
primary and secondary inspection installations. The construction
of the project shall be planned in phases to avoid the
disruption of existing border crossing operations.
The site is presently located on south end of Highway 13 (264
St. Division), approximately 10 kilometres south of Trans Canada
Highway 1 from Exit 73, British Columbia and is opposite the
Kenneth G Ward US in the town of Lynden in the state of
Washington border crossing.
The design and construction of the new facility is the project
objective and the reason for the Request for Proposal. As this
is a major entrance to Canada, there is the requirement for an
aesthetic and welcoming environment, where building design, site
layout, and suitable, ecologically-based landscape treatment
will be integrated in developing a sustainable and memorable
welcome experience.
The new facility will include the following elements:
(a) A two storey, 1,220 m2 building area, Main Port office with
a mechanical room on the second floor, suitable for the
processing of travellers in automobiles and recreational
vehicles.
(b) A two story, 750 m2 building area, Commercial Building with
a mechanical room on the second floor and a loading/unloading
dock intended for the processing of commercial truck traffic
complete with two (2) (PIL) inspection booths.
(c) A primary inspection canopy complete with four (4) (PIL)
inspection booths, one (1) (PIL) NEXUS inspection booths and
rough in for three (3) (PIL) inspection booths for future
expansions.
(d) A secondary inspection canopy sized for six (6) inspection
bays.
(e) A tertiary garage, intended for more intensive inspection of
vehicles, will be approximately 20 m2.
(f) A single storey service building, approximately 75 m2
housing the emergency generator, and storage for freezers and
hazardous materials.
(g) Seized vehicle compound surrounded by chain link fencing
with barbed wire.
(h) Separate parking lots for outbound visitors, inbound
visitors, commercial trucks, staff and port vehicles.
(i) Roads, access lanes and manoeuvring space including "Return
to Canada" and "Return to USA" lanes.
(j) A system for the collection, and treatment as required, for
surface drainage water from the road, parking and manoeuvring
areas.
(k) Provide new water wells to support demand generated by new
facilities including firefighting and irrigation.
(l) Provide new on-site septic systems.
(m) Connection to power and communication services at the edge
of the CBSA property.
(n) Provide sustainable landscape treatment as per Aldergrove

Overview of Selection Procedure:
Phase One Proposal
In response to the RFP, interested Proponents will submit a
Phase One proposal in which they:
(1) indicate whether the proposal is submitted by an individual
firm or by a joint venture;
(2) if the proposal is submitted by a joint venture, describe
the proposed legal and working relationships of the joint
venture and the benefits to be gained by the formation of the
joint venture;
(3) identify the Key Personnel, specialists and other firms
proposed for inclusion in the Design-Builder's Team, and the
proposed organizational structure of the Team;
(4) describe the extent to which proposed Key Personnel of the
Design-Builder's Team have successfully performed services for
projects comparable to the project which is the subject of the
proposal;
(5) identify the professional accreditation, experience,
expertise and competence of the proposed Design-Builder's Team
and the Key Personnel proposed to be assigned to execute the
Work; and
(6) comply with all other requirements set out in the RFP.
Phase One Proposal Evaluation and Points Rating
Each responsive proposal received is reviewed, evaluated and
rated by a PWGSC Evaluation Board in accordance with the
evaluation criteria and components set out in the RFP. Upon
completion of the evaluation, an initial points rating (Phase
One Points rating) is assigned to the proposal. Phase One
Points rating is recorded for subsequent incorporation in the
final proposal evaluation and points rating.
Each Proponent submitting a responsive Phase One proposal is
notified in writing of its Phase One Points rating and, in
addition, is provided with the following:
(1) An alphabetic list of Proponents with the highest Phase One
Ratings;
(2) a list of all Phase One Points ratings attained (an
individual points rating is not linked to a Proponent);
(3) a date, time, and location for a Phase Two mandatory site
visit and proponent's/bidder's conference; and
(4) the date and time for receipt of Phase Two proposals, and
any supplementary instructions, terms, conditions or
amendment which may be applicable to Phase Two proposal
preparation and submission.
(5) Technical specifications for Protected B information will be
provided to Phase Two Proponents
Proponents that submitted non-responsive Phase One proposals are
notified accordingly.
Phase Two Proposal
Phase Two proposals are prepared and submitted after Proponents
have been advised of the results of the evaluation of Phase
One proposals. All Proponents submitting responsive proposals
in Phase One, regardless of their Phase One Points ratings, are
eligible to prepare and submit a Phase Two proposal. The
decision to continue participating in the selection procedure
in Phase Two is a decision to be made by each Proponent
submitting a responsive proposal.
In Phase Two, a Proponent may not substitute or delete any firm
or Key Personnel of the Design-Builder's Team identified in
the Phase One proposal.
Phase Two proposals are submitted following a "two-envelope"
procedure, in which Proponents submit the "technical"
component of their proposal in one package and the proposed
price of the services (Price proposal) in a second envelope.
The information that Proponents are required to provide is set
out in detail throughout the RFP.
Phase Two Proposal Evaluation And Final Points Rating
Technical components of Phase Two proposals are reviewed,
evaluated and rated by an evaluation team (composed of
representatives of Canada) in accordance with the criteria,
components and weight factors, if any, set out in the RFP.
Upon completion of the evaluation, Phase Two Points ratings
are established.
Both the Phase Two Points rating and the previously established
Phase One Points rating are added together to establish the
total number of points. Note: to receive further
consideration a minimum combined point rating score of 40
must be met.
For this project, the total score will be established as follows:
(1) Phase One Rating x 15% = Phase One Score
(2) Phase Two Rating x 65%= Phase Two Score
(3) Phase Two Rating x 20%= Phase Price Score
(4) Total score = max 100 points
