This document is a "Three-Phase Feasibility Study" for the Coburn Gore Land Port of Entry (LPOE) in Maine, dated December 22, 2022. It was prepared for the General Services Administration (GSA) by Colby Company, LLC.

The study's objective is to determine the feasibility of upgrading the LPOE facilities to a three-phase, 480V electrical service to support a future 100% carbon-neutral port of entry that meets CBP LPOE Design Standards. It documents existing conditions and outlines the necessary revisions and costs for the upgrade.

The report details the current single-phase electrical service provided by HydroQuebec (HQ) and Central Maine Power (CMP). It assesses two alternatives for providing three-phase power: from CMP in the United States or from HydroQuebec in Canada. The study also explores renewable energy solutions, specifically solar (rooftop and ground-mounted PV systems) and wind (pole-mounted turbines).

This document is relevant to potential bidders as it outlines the scope and estimated costs for significant infrastructure upgrades at the Coburn Gore LPOE. Specifically:

• Power Upgrade: It details the feasibility and cost comparison of obtaining three-phase power from either the US (CMP) or Canada (HydroQuebec), with HydroQuebec being the recommended and significantly more cost-effective option ($211,216 vs. $6-8 million).
• Renewable Energy Integration: The study evaluates the potential for integrating solar and wind power systems, providing installation costs and estimated energy production for various system sizes.
• Future Development: The report references a previous study recommending a future LPOE buildout, including new buildings, reconfigured site layout, and housing for officers, which may inform future related opportunities.
