Art Anderson Associates managed construction and design support for the new jointly-occupied US/Canadian Port of Entry in Oroville, Washington as part of a term contract with the US General Services Administration, Region 10. The project entailed demolition of the old facilities, setup of temporary buildings, construction of the new station and outbuildings and landscaping of the entire site. Our scope of services included full-time site project management representation, assisting GSA with all schedule and coordination issues, documenting all project meetings, reviewing all work for contract compliance, documenting omissions and defects, preparation of field reports, issue resolution, contract modification documentation, and final inspection, testing and closeout.

The main portion of the facility is a four-building complex that is linked together by a shed roof. The roof framing is constructed of formed steel deck on open web steel joists supported by steel beams and tube steel columns. The US Multi-purpose Building, US Administration Building, Canadian Administration Building and Canadian Devanning Building comprise the complex. These buildings consist of two levels of office space concrete slab on grade construction. The structure is supported by both isolated and continuous shallow spread footings. The vertical components consist of braced frames and tilt up concrete walls.

The complex included US and Canadian Non-Commercial Secondary Inspection Buildings. Other facilities included the US APHIS Building; the US Commercial Secondary Inspection/Hazardous Materials Containment Facility, which were single story structures; primary inspection lane (PIL) booths and the second floor bridge, which provides office space and serves as a canopy for the PIL booth areas.
