4-Year Work Plan by District for Fys 2015-2018 4 Year Work Plan by District for FYs 2015 - 2018 Overview Section §201.998 of the Transportation code requires that a Department Work Program report be provided to the Legislature. Under this law, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) provides the following information within this report. Consistently-formatted work program for each of TxDOT's 25 districts based on Unified Transportation Program. Covers four-year period and contains all projects that the district proposes to implement during that period. Includes progress report on major transportation projects and other district projects. Per 43 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 16 Subchapter C rule §16.106, a major transportation project is the planning, engineering, right of way acquisition, expansion, improvement, addition, or contract maintenance, other than the routine or contracted routine maintenance, of a bridge, highway, toll road, or toll road system on the state highway system that fulfills or satisfies a particular need, concern, or strategy of the department in meeting the transportation goals established under §16.105 of this subchapter (relating to Unified Transportation Program (UTP)). A project may be designated by the department as a major transportation project if it meets one or more of the criteria specified below: 1) The project has a total estimated cost of $500 million or more. All costs associated with the project from the environmental phase through final construction, including adequate contingencies and reserves for all cost elements, will be included in computing the total estimated cost regardless of the source of funding. The costs will be expressed in year of expenditure dollars. 2) There is a high level of public or legislative interest in the project. 3) The project includes a significant level of local or private entity funding. 4) The project is unusually complex. 5) The project satisfies a time sensitive critical need of the department related to safety, system connectivity, a hurricane evacuation route, reconstruction of a large infrastructure facility, or other similar need. 4 Year Work Plan by District for FYs 2015 - 2018 For additional information on the projects shown on this Work Program report please use the web links listed below for the different types of transportation projects. For Major Transportation projects use#: Web link: http://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/division/strategic-projects/project-data-funding.html #Note: Regular updates are made to the project sheets found on this site. For other district projects use*: Web link: http://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/projects/project-tracker.html *Note: Regular updates are made to the project sheets found on this site. Not all other district projects appear on Project Tracker website. Currently, unfunded projects and projects where the PS& E production schedule is being developed are not shown on Project Tracker. Source of data: Design and Construction Information System (DCIS), Primavera (P6), and SPD database. Data extracted on October 2014 for both Major Projects and other district projects. 4 Year Work Plan by District for FYs 2015 - 2018 Tips on Reading Report: The Award FY column represents the fiscal year of when the design-build contract or construction contract has been awarded by the Texas Transportation Commission. o If the value shown is prior to Fiscal Year 2015, it means that the project has been awarded and may be under construction. o If the project does not contain a value for this field, it means that funding has not been secured for this project. The Agency works on unfunded projects to develop “projects on the shelf” in hopes of having additional funds to carry some of the projects forward to letting and also to backfill for projects that are accelerated during a given fiscal year. For Major Transportation Projects the following are potential values for the Status column: o Environmental Clearance In Progress o Received Environmental Clearance o 100% Plans Completed o ROW Coordination Completed o Utility Coordination Completed o Award of Construction Contract (Comprehensive Development Agreement) o Completion of Construction The progress of a major transportation project will be tracked and evaluated in accordance with §16.202 of Chapter 16 (relating to Reporting System for Delivery of Individual Projects) based on benchmarks for planning, implementation, and construction of the project and timelines developed for that project. The status shown is the last benchmark achieved on the project (see definition section below for additional information). 4 Year Work Plan by District for FYs 2015 - 2018 Tips on Reading Report (continued): For other district projects the following are potential values for the Status column: o Programmed o Design Plans Started o 30% Plans Completed o 60% Plans Completed o 100% Plans Completed o ROW Coordination Completed o Utility Coordination Completed o Received Environmental Clearance o Award of Construction Contract o Completion of Construction The status shown is the last benchmark achieved on the project (see definition section below for additional information). Projects that show a status of Programmed and scheduled in Award FY 2015 typically have a short project development cycle and will quickly move from Design Plans Started to Award of Construction Contract. 4 Year Work Plan by District for FYs 2015 - 2018 Useful Definitions: Status definitions of Major Transportation Projects: 1) Environmental Clearance In Progress – environmental clearance has not been granted, yet in progress. 2) Received Environmental Clearance - environmental clearance is received once all issues have been identified and addressed, public involvement has been conducted, coordination with other agencies has been completed, and all necessary permits have been obtained. The duration of these activities varies depending on the complexity of the project and the location of the project. 3) 100% Plans Completed - the construction details have been fully developed and drafted, including the development of specifications needed for the project 4) ROW Coordination Completed - ROW coordination is complete when right of way needed for construction has been identified and mapped, appraisals have been performed, and acquisition has progressed to the point that remaining activities would not delay construction. 5) Utility Coordination Completed - utility coordination is complete when all conflicts with existing utilities have been identified and relocation plans have been coordinator with the utility owner(s) such that remaining activities would not delay construction. 6) Award of Construction Contract (Comprehensive Development Agreement) – award of contract has been granted by Texas Transportation Commission. 7) Completion of Construction – construction project has been accepted by TxDOT. 4 Year Work Plan by District for FYs 2015 - 2018 Useful Definitions (continued): Status definitions of other district projects: 1) Programmed – project has been authorized for project development and award letting fiscal year projected. 2) Design Plans Started – design on the plans has started. 3) 30% Plans Completed - the basic geometry of the project has been developed. This includes the width of the roadway along with the location and grade of the roadway. For simple paving projects, this milestone may not be applicable. 4) 60% Plans Completed - the roadway and drainage design are basically complete, although not yet drawn in detail. Right of way and utility coordination have been started (if applicable). 5) 100% Plans Completed - the construction details have been fully developed and drafted, including the development of specifications needed for the project. 6) Received Environmental Clearance - environmental clearance is received once all issues have been identified and addressed, public involvement has been conducted, coordination with other agencies has been completed, and all necessary permits have been obtained. The duration of these activities varies depending on the complexity of the project and the location of the project. 7) ROW Coordination Completed - ROW coordination is complete when right of way needed for construction has been identified and mapped, appraisals have been performed, and acquisition has progressed to the point that remaining activities would not delay construction. 8) Utility Coordination Completed - utility coordination is complete when all conflicts with existing utilities have been identified and relocation plans have been coordinator with the utility owner(s) such that remaining activities would not delay construction. 9) Award of Construction Contract - award of contract has been granted by Texas Transportation Commission. 10) Completion of Construction - construction project has been accepted by TxDOT. 4 Year Work Plan by District for FYs 2015 - 2018 4-Year Work Plan by District for FYs 2015-2018 Major Project Award Status District Name County Highway Project Description Limits Tx House Tx Senate US House 43 TAC §16.106 FY 43 TAC 16.106 Corpus Christi CONSTRUCT NEW BRIDGE, APPROACHES, Preferred alignment being between the existing US Environmental Clearance Nueces US 181 Yes 2015 34 20 27 District INTERCHANGES, AND HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS 181 between Beach Avenue and I‐37 In progress 4-Year Work Plan by District for FYs 2015-2018 Major Project Award Status District Name County Highway Project Description Limits Tx House Tx Senate US House 43 TAC §16.106 FY 43 TAC 16.106 Dallas District & RECONSTRUCT TO ADD GENERAL PURPOSE 92, 98,

Texas has the most robust maritime system in the United States. In 2015, Texas was ranked first in the nation in total foreign imports and exports and second in the nation for total tonnage. The state’s maritime system continues to be a critical gateway to international trade and provides the residents of the state with a multitude of economic opportunities through the movement of waterborne commerce and trade. In 2015, the Texas Ports Association conducted an economic study focused on defining the value of Texas ports to the state and the nation. Maritime activity at Texas ports: • Moved over 563 million tons of cargo including 350 million tons of international tonnage and nearly 200 million tons of domestic cargo • Handled over 1.8 million containers • Served over 1.6 million cruise passengers • Supported over 1.5 million jobs in the state • Provided over $368 billion in total economic value to the state, 23% of the overall state GDP • Generated over $92 billion in personal income and local consumption of goods • Generated $6.9 billion of state and local taxes Texas ports are critical economic engines for their communities and the state.

  • US Development Group to Open State-Of-The-Art $130 Million Multi
    US Development Group to open state-of-the-art $130 million multi-modal terminal in Port Arthur Project to create more than 1,200 construction jobs and more than 40 long-term jobs in Jefferson County PORT ARTHUR, Texas — (December 15, 2020) – US Development Group, LLC (USDG), through Port Arthur Terminal LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, today announced the development of a multi-modal oil handling terminal in Port Arthur, Texas. The terminal is specially designed to handle DRUbit™, a proprietary blend of Canadian heavy crude oil formulated to be non-hazardous and non-flammable for transportation by rail. Scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2021, the Port Arthur Terminal represents a capital investment of more than $130 million that is expected to bring more than 1,200 direct and indirect construction jobs to the City of Port Arthur and Jefferson County as well as more than 40 full-time jobs once the facility begins commercial operations. “USDG is pleased to be part of the Port Arthur community and construct the first-of-its-kind destination terminal,” said Dan Borgen, US Development Group CEO and President. “By giving producers in the Canadian oil sands a safe and efficient means of transporting product to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries and manufacturers, we anticipate the new terminal will represent a long-term investment for USDG with continued growth. We look forward to playing a role in the economic prosperity of Port Arthur and Jefferson County in the coming years. Moreover, USDG’s patented DRUbit™ process produces a non- hazardous transportation product that has great economic benefits for Port Arthur area refineries.” “We would like to recognize several city and county leaders who were instrumental in making the Port Arthur terminal project come to fruition, including the Honorable County Judge Jeff Branick and the Jefferson County Commissioners, the Honorable Mayor Thurman Bill Bartie and the Port Arthur City Council, City Manager Ron Burton and their combined staffs.
