Security Command Center Site Improvements

The Port of Corpus Christi Authority is soliciting bids for security command center site improvements in Nueces County, Texas, with proposals due July 30, 2026. The scope encompasses site demolition, pavement repairs and reconstruction, drainage improvements, ADA upgrades, electrical and lighting enhancements, security fencing and access gates installation, and landscaping improvements.

Contractor personnel must hold a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) to access Port Authority property. The technical specifications impose detailed compliance requirements across multiple construction divisions: masonry work including mortar installation, brick tuckpointing, and water repellents; thermal and moisture protection with joint sealants for windows and penetrations; site work including geosynthetic materials, grading, and excavation; concrete and metals work; electrical systems; and earthwork. Specifications cite ASTM standards for masonry materials, reinforcement, flashings, and sealants, with named manufacturers allowed approved equivalents.

Within ten days of Notice to Proceed, the contractor must submit staff assignments, organizational charts, construction schedules using CPM methodology where practicable, and comprehensive submittal schedules. Pre-construction, progress, and coordination meetings are mandatory. The contractor must comply with Port Authority policies on equal opportunity employment, affirmative action, harassment prevention, workplace violence prohibition, substance abuse testing, and concealed handgun restrictions on Authority property.

Hurricane preparedness provisions establish four condition levels triggering escalating response requirements — a material compliance obligation in the Gulf Coast context. Final closeout requires submission of record documents, final cleaning, equipment adjustment, and operation and maintenance manuals. Contract value, term, and incumbent contractor are not identified in the source materials.
