The widening and deepening of the ship channel, the busiest in the United States, is needed for improved safety and the future growth of regional and national commerce.
Specifically, the ship channel expansion work approved by the port commission includes critical-path professional services for engineering, design and project coordination. The contract approved by the commission was in an amount not to exceed USD 5.5 million and was awarded to TC&B/GBA, a joint venture of Turner Collie & Braden and Gahagan & Bryant Associates.
