GSA awards $3.15 million Construction Manager as Advisor contract for new land port of entry at Limestone, Maine

October 02, 2023

BOSTON – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has awarded a contract for construction management services in support of the new Land Port of Entry at Limestone, Maine. 

Funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, GSA awarded the $3,153,615 contract to Jacobs Technology, Inc. Under this contract Jacobs will provide services including construction project management, construction inspection, project scheduling, cost estimating, acquisition support, commissioning and partnering.

The new port will incorporate sustainability features that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate the impact of buildings on the environment, and simultaneously increase the mission readiness of the federal government by increasing resilience to climate change.

The Limestone project will provide new construction to supplement the existing port with a new state-of-the-art and expanded facility. Upgrades will include the latest technologies and equipment to facilitate enhanced traffic management and inspection. 

This project will improve economic, cultural and familial connections. The people who live along the border depend on this deep, cross-border community engagement, often crossing daily for jobs and mutual aid.

This announcement is part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda in growing the American economy from the bottom up and middle-out – from rebuilding our Nation’s infrastructure, to creating a manufacturing and innovation boom powered by good-paying jobs, to building a clean-energy economy that will combat climate change and make our communities more resilient.

Construction is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2025, with substantial completion by the summer of 2027.
