Customs Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), U. S. Border Patrol, and the Department of Agriculture (PPQ) (VS). Construction of the new border station, related site work and demolition of the existing buildings would need to be phased and coordinated in order to keep the border station open and operational on a 24-hour, seven-day-per-week basis.

Offerors should have experience in road and highway construction meeting the requirements and specifications of the Michigan Department of Transportation. As early as February of 2000 the construction services may be solicited under Source Selection Procedures. A two-stage selection process may be used to prequalify offerors based on such factors as past experience, phasing experience, proposed key personnel, and other measures of capabilities. Qualified offerors would then be solicited for pricing proposals and evaluated based on best value to the government. Please note that this is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE; therefore, no solicitation is available at this time and no contract award will be made as a result of this notice.
