Introduction:
This Agenda Item intent is to provide non-monetary support of the Sabine Pass Port Authority's
application to the Port Infrastructure Development Program(PIDP) grant for$7,100,000.
Background:
The Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) is a discretionary grant program
administered by the U.S. Maritime Administration. Funds for the PIDP are awarded on a
competitive basis to projects that improve the safety, efficiency, or reliability of the movement of
goods into, out of, around,or within a port. Congress provided first-year funds of$293 million for
the program in the FY2019 Consolidated Appropriations Act. Congress continued funding the
program at $225 million in FY2020 and $230 million in FY2021. For FY2022 the Infrastructure
and Jobs Act/Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, appropriated $450 million to the PIDP.
The grant funding will support the following 5 projects:
1. Replacement of approximately 400' of sheet piling wall along the Sabine Neches Water Way
on the Sabine Pass Port Authority property that leads to Dustin Gulf Seafood.
2. Replacement of approximately 200' of sheet pilling wall along the Sabine Neches Water Way
on the Sabine Pass Port Authority property that provides mooring for commercial vessels that
utilize the bulk fueling site.
3. Replacement of approximately 2500' of sheet piling wall along the Sabine Neches Water Way
on the Sabine Pass Port Authority property that provides mooring for commercial vessels and add
a heavy fendering system.
