How to bid on the Turner Roof and Building Envelope Project for Public Buildings Service

What the agency is buying

The General Services Administration (GSA) is looking for construction services for the Turner Roof and Building Envelope Project. This work involves replacing roofs and improving the building envelope at the Turner Land Port of Entry in Turner, Montana. The project covers the main building on both the U.S. and Canadian sides, as well as the water treatment building.

The scope includes demolition, repairs to walls and cladding, thermal and moisture protection, and finishes. There will also be coordination for electrical, communications, and security systems. The facility will remain operational during construction, which is expected to take 150 calendar days after the notice to proceed.

Key dates and deadlines

The solicitation was published on July 17, 2026. All responses must be submitted by August 27, 2026, at 5:30 PM ET. It is important to submit your bid before this deadline, as late submissions are typically not accepted.

An in-person site visit is anticipated, but the specific date has not yet been set. Keep an eye on the solicitation for updates regarding the site visit schedule.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for construction firms with experience in roof replacement, exterior wall repairs, and building envelope improvements. Contractors should be familiar with working on occupied facilities and coordinating with multiple stakeholders, including government agencies and border operations.

Experience with projects involving international coordination, such as work on the Canadian side of a facility, would be beneficial. Firms with a strong background in general construction and renovation, particularly for government buildings, are encouraged to bid.

Practical tips for a competitive response

Carefully review all solicitation documents, drawings, and specifications to fully understand the project requirements. Pay close attention to the GSA PBS Core Building Standards and any security or badging requirements.

Given that the facility will remain operational, detail your plan for phasing work, maintaining site security, and ensuring safe access for ongoing border operations. Clearly outline your coordination strategy with GSA, CBP, CBSA, and other stakeholders. If you have experience with projects requiring Canadian access or work permit coordination, highlight this in your proposal.
