Madawaska LPOE Industry Day

The General Services Administration (GSA) New England Region will host a two part Design & Construction Industry Day event in Bangor, Maine on Wednesday, January 23, 2019, from 10AM - 2PM, for all businesses (not exclusive of architect engineering firms, general contractors, subcontractor trades, and material suppliers) interested in the New U.S. LPOE Project located in Madawaska, Maine. The proposed design development is anticipated to begin in late 2019, with construction of the Madawaska LPOE anticipated to begin in Spring/Summer 2020 and be complete by October 2022. This schedule is in anticipation of a November 2022 Madawaska-Edmundston International Bridge Replacement Project completion.

This event offers architect-engineers, general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers the opportunity to review project features, network with small and large businesses, and comment on GSA's project plan that could result in cost reductions, improved constructability, schedule risk reduction, and provide alternate best practices to complete this work. This event is neither a solicitation nor a request for a proposal.

This project is defined as a New Construction project, using a collaborative Design Build Bridging approach that follows the GSA Design Excellence and Operational Excellence guidelines, the GSA Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service (P-100) 2018, and meets U.S. Green Building Council LEED Gold. GSA has contracted with a Design Build-Bridging Architect who is the Owner's Design Consultant (ODC) and who will define the preliminary design and performance specifications through the equivalent of the Concept Phase and then produce the Bridging Contract Documents that must fully protect the design intent, quality and project budget.
