Remote and extreme environments

– Facility operations are in hard to build areas with no existing infrastructure

– Environments are hard on the structures over time

Land-locked ports, difficult to expand

No downtime - must recapitalize and operate facilities at the same time

Required integration with domestic and bi-national transportation infrastructures

Integration with technology programs

Special-purpose uses require many types of unique design standards– Law enforcement: inspection and detention – Tactical Infrastructure: border fences, roads, and utilities

What makes CBP facilities so complex?

10

Our Nation’s “ports” serve as the frontline in defending the American public against terrorists and instruments of terror while facilitating the lawful movement of goods and people across the border. The portfolio consists of:

167 Land Ports of Entry (LPOE) Two-thirds of the LPOE portfolio is owned or leased by the U.S.

General Services Administration (GSA); CBP owns or leases the remaining

Congress appropriates funds for modernizing the land ports through GSA’s Federal Buildings Fund or special appropriations like the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)

261 Air Ports of Entry Air ports provide free space to CBP so that CBP Officers can conduct

inspections; at most, CBP must outfit the space with technology and security equipment

203 Sea Ports of EntrySea ports provide free space to CBP so that CBP Officers can conduct

inspections; CBP must outfit the space with technology and security equipment

BPFTI provides the Border Patrol with material solutions and maintenance for facilities and tactical infrastructure that will support the organization in performing its primary homeland security mission.

Portfolio• 144 Border Patrol Stations (BPSs)• 20 Sector Headquarters• 58 Checkpoints• 17 Forward Operating Bases (FOBs)

Tactical Infrastructure (TI) Program• The TI Program is the largest construction program within DHS• As of December 2011, CBP has constructed over 650 miles of pedestrian and vehicle fence along the

Southwest border• Additional TI projects: Fencing and gates, roads and bridges, drainage structures and grates, lighting

and electrical systems, and vegetation and debris removal• Tunnel remediation: Those activities required to physically secure cross-border tunnels. Facing

increased security at and between ports of entry, smugglers have increasingly used underground tunnels to transport drugs, weapons, people, and other contraband items
