The General Services Administration (GSA) has awarded three contracts for projects funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law projects to modernize Texas land ports of entry.
“America’s land ports are vital to our economy and our security, with billions of dollars in goods and services crossing our borders each and every day,” GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan said. “As we approach the first anniversary of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we are more committed than ever to modernizing our land ports in ways that will create good-paying jobs and strengthen supply chains while enhancing safety and security.”
Jacobs Technology, Inc. was awarded a $4.6 million contract to execute a program development study to define existing conditions, identify program requirements, and implement a plan and schedule to meet project goals and objectives.
Richter Associates was awarded an $820,000 contract to complete an enhanced feasibility study at the Bridge of the Americas LPOE in El Paso, Texas. Richter Associates was awarded a contract to complete an enhanced feasibility study to determine future workplace needs based on projected requirements while also identifying viable alternatives for future selection.
GSA also awarded Richter Associates a $115,000 design contract for the Ysleta Land Port of Entry Paving project. The GSA said the project would improve daily port operations by repairing deteriorated roads.
“Investing in our land ports of entry helps GSA support the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration,” GSA Acting Regional Administrator Giancarlo Brizzi said. “These projects will enable us to better support CBP’s mission to secure our borders while also strengthening the U.S. economy.”
