RICE UNIVERSITY BREAKS GROUND ON NEW HOME FOR ARTS Designed by the acclaimed firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R), Sarofim Hall will be a “beacon of interdisciplinary collaboration and experimentation,” according to the university. Spanning 83,000 square feet, the dynamic facility is poised to redefine the landscape of arts education at Rice and beyond.

Drawing inspiration from Rice’s rich artistic heritage, Renfro and his team designed a space that will transcend boundaries and ignite the

“Rice students are very creative, but they come thinking creative in terms of the science world,” said Kathleen Canning, Rice’s dean imagination.

“Sarofim Hall will pay tribute to the two Butler buildings built by Dominique de Menil for the art department back in the ’60s: the Art Barn and Media Center," Renfro said.

By Subcontractors USA News Provider he Susan and Fayez Sarofim Hall is set to open at Rice University in fall 2025, marking a significant milestone in the university’s commitment to advancing its growing arts program.

The university’s commitment to the arts goes back decades, fueled by the efforts of Dominique and John de Menil. Their legacy coupled with the generous contribution of Susan and Fayez Sarofim serve as the cornerstone for the creation of Sarofim Hall.

“It will be a phenomenal building,” said John Sparagana, chair of Rice’s art department.

When I joined Rice as dean of engineering several years ago, I recognized the immense importance of Rice’s arts program to advancing our university’s excellence, impact and engagement with the city of Houston, said Rice President Reginald DesRoches, underscoring Sarofim Hall’s pivotal role in arts education at Rice.

“We’ll all come together, and that cohesion and energy of an art community will flourish.”

of humanities. “They often only begin to discover this other talent, a very much related talent, when they enroll in art courses.”

Charles Renfro, partner at DS+R and lead architect of Sarofim Hall, is an example of that. The 1987 Rice graduate earned degrees in both architecture and art.

“I understand how much the arts at Rice mean to everyone,” Renfro said, adding that he was thrilled to learn about the ways in which the university’s art program is moving forward, including its offerings of performance and multimedia art.

This homage to the past will be woven into Sarofim Hall’s innovative design, which seeks to unite art faculty and students from diverse disciplines under one roof. The design turns the Butler Building inside out, cleaving open its center with two full-height glass walls effectively dividing it into two parts. These glass partitions, which intersect in the very center of the structure, will create two rainprotected outdoor spaces in which art can be shown and made.

Renfro envisioned Sarofim Hall not merely as a structure but as a tool that will foster collaboration across artistic mediums.

hirty-eight Houston-area small and diverse business leaders successfully completed Clark Construction’s Strategic Partnership Program on Friday, May 31.

Throughout the eight-month course, participants focused on a range of business and construction industry topics, including financial statements and accounting, insurance and bonding, estimating, purchasing, and project management, as well as essential business skills, such as conducting presentations and successful networking. The experience concluded with a capstone project, where SPP participants presented to leaders and experts within the industry. The project further highlighted the importance of business skills, teamwork, and forming strategic relationships to strengthen the competitive advantage and likelihood of success in future endeavors.

Established in 2006, the Strategic Partnership Program delivers executive MBA-style classes to small minority-, women-, and veteran-owned firms in the construction industry. The SPP curriculum combines classes taught

by Clark’s building professionals and local industry experts with interactive team projects and workshops. Houston graduates join the broader SPP alumni network of more than 1,500 business leaders and construction entrepreneurs.

Botello Builders Corporation Co-President Eleazar Botello went into the Strategic Partnership Program with the objective to increase his estimating, project management and marketing acumen.

“Through SPP, I have forged valuable relationships with Clark leaders and industry peers. I am excited to put everything I’ve learned from the program into action and share what I’ve learned with my team,” Botello said during the graduation.

Clark founded the SPP to provide diverse businesses with the training, knowledge, and resources necessary to compete for opportunities on large-scale construction projects. Since the program was founded, Clark has expanded the course to 10 markets across the United States. The program’s core curriculum, which is reinforced through a series of quarterly assessments, helps ensure that participants are able to grasp key course concepts quickly.

In recognition of the program’s 15th anniversary in 2021, Clark reiterated its commitment to fostering inclusive growth among program alumni by pledging to award $2.5 billion in new contracts to SPP alumni over the next decade.

$385K in Additional Funding Secured for San Antonio’s Las Palmas Branch Library Renovation library partners,” said Kathy Donellan, Interim Library Director. “These additional dollars will help restore a few elements of the renovation of Las Palmas that were previously removed due to rising costs in the construction industry. The Las Palmas Branch Library community has tirelessly advocated for the very best outcome for this renovation project, and this additional funding helps to achieve our shared vision for the library.”

By Subcontractors USA News Provider an Antonio Public Library (SAPL) has secured $385,000 in additional funding for the renovation of the Las Palmas Branch Library, located at 515 Castroville Rd. The additional funding increases the total project budget to $6.4 million.

S

The additional funding comes from two sources. A total of $250,000 was donated

by the H-E-B Foundation for the naming of the new expansion of a 2,000-square-foot community gathering space. This gift from H-E-B was secured through the work of the San Antonio Public Library Foundation. The remaining $135,000 comes from a federal appropriation initiated by U.S. Representative Joaquin Castro (D-20) to provide the construction for the new Learn at SAPL site at the Las Palmas Branch.

The Las Palmas Branch Library renovation is funded by the 2017 and 2022 City of San Antonio Bond Programs as well as private donations and other funding sources. The project is a complete renovation of the library, including an expansion, a new digital monument sign, a new Learn at SAPL adult education site, new information desks, shelving, and furniture, and completely

renovated children and teen spaces.

Construction began on the library in 2023 and is expected to be completed in 2025. The first phase of construction funded by the 2017 bond was recently completed.

While Las Palmas Branch Library is closed for renovation, SAPL continues to offer interim service out of the Sueltenfuss Library at Our Lady of the Lake University (411 SW 24th St., 78207). Patrons may pick up library holds, return materials, browse a high-interest collection of books and materials, and access account services at the interim location.

In 1968, Turner was the first major builder to create a Community Affairs (now Community & Citizenship) Department. As a result, it is our policy to promote the economic advancement of HUBs/MWBEs, which makes Turner’s program an integral component of our construction management process.

We begin by understanding our client’s goals and then assessing their needs. We develop and implement outreach programs to solicit HUBs/MWBEs that are qualified and pre-qualified to work on the project. Turner has a written corporate policy of 25% utilization of HUBs/MWBEs on our projects, and our sites reflect our continuous efforts to provide equal opportunities and a fair process for all.

Building Costs Increase in the First Quarter of 2024 Driven

by Mega Project: Turner Construction

By Subcontractors USA News Provider urner Construction Company announced that the First Quarter 2024 Turner Building Cost Index— which measures costs in the non-residential building construction market in the United States—had increased to the value of 1408. This represents a 0.93% quarterly increase from the Fourth Quarter 2023 and a 4.37% yearly increase from the First Quarter 2023.

T

“Mega projects in the advanced technology markets across the United States continue to have a significant draw on the workforce. Workforce development programs are bringing diverse and young labor into the skilled trades, which is a great sign for the future of our industry,” said Attilio Rivetti, the Turner vice president responsible for compiling the Cost Index.

Attilio continued, saying, “There has been a stabilization of most material prices with exception to copper and aluminum where we are experiencing increases since February 2024.

While lead times for mechanical and electrical equipment may be somewhat shorter than previous months, they are still quite long and need to be a focus for project schedules.”

Turner has prepared the construction cost forecast for more than 80 years. The building costs and price trends tracked by the Turner Building Cost Index may or may not reflect regional conditions in any given quarter.

The cost index is determined by several factors considered on a nationwide basis, including labor rates and productivity, material prices, and the competitive condition of the marketplace. This index does not necessarily conform to other published indices because others do not generally take all these factors into account.

Cypress Creek Renewables Adds Clean, Dispatchable Solar and Storage to the ERCOT Grid with Newest Operational Project

By Subcontractors USA News Provider ypress Creek Renewables, a leading solar and storage developer and independent power producer, announced that it has completed construction and reached commercial operation of its newest and largest hybrid facility, Zier, in Brackettville, Texas. The facility adds capacity to the grid as the need for energy in the state grows to an all-time high.

C

The power plant boasts 208MW of photovoltaic capacity, enough power to supply more than 41,600 Texas homes annually, with 80MWh of battery storage, which has already been utilized by the ERCOT grid to ease

supply strain in a time of increased demand.

"Clean reliable power is critical to supporting the remarkable continuing growth happening in Texas," Sarah Slusser, CEO of Cypress Creek Renewables said. "We are incredibly proud to be bringing online more solar and dispatchable energy from batteries like ours at Zier, which have already proven vital to keeping the lights on and the air conditioning running when Texans need it most."

Cypress Creek celebrated the commercial operation of the site with a ribbon-cutting event for their supply, construction, financial and community partners in Kinney County on May 2, 2024. The project will provide $11.5 million in tax revenue

to the county with an additional $11.7 million earmarked for the Bracket Independent School District.

and it's encouraging to see new projects such as Cypress Creek's facility coming online to help secure these benefits for Texas."

"Texas needs every available megawatt, and low-cost renewable energy has proven critical as it continues to reach new production heights in ERCOT," said Judd Messer, Texas Vice President of Advanced Power Alliance. "Solar energy is ensuring sufficient capacity during day-time peak, setting records nearly every month, and quick-responding energy storage delivers a substantial reliability benefit when demand soars or when dispatchable energy unexpectedly falls offline. A diverse mix of resources is the only way to ensure our grid achieves both reliability and affordability,

Cypress Creek has been developing projects in Texas since its inception in 2014 and, through Cypress Creek Solutions, the company's operating services business, operates almost 1GW across the state including 18 Cypress Creek-owned projects. Throughout Texas, Cypress Creek has a 6GW pipeline of 24 projects in construction or development, including a 100 MWh standalone battery storage project in Rosenberg, near Houston, expected to reach commercial operation next month.

By Subcontractors USA News Provider s the Chief Business Equity Officer at Port Houston, Carlecia Wright’s role is multifaceted, encompassing the oversight of both internal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and external business equity programs. Her primary focus is to work collaboratively with the executive leadership team at Port Houston to foster an inclusive work environment that ensures equitable opportunities for all employees.

Externally, Wright works closely with the port’s Business Equity Director, Dr. Sabeeta Bidasie-Singh, and the business equity team to support the growth and development of small, minority, and women-owned businesses through various initiatives. The port is dedicated to creating pathways for these enterprises to thrive, contributing to the

A

economic vitality of the community.

In addition to these responsibilities, Wright plays a pivotal role in workforce development, ensuring that the port cultivates a skilled and diverse talent pool to meet its evolving needs. This involves strategic partnerships and initiatives aimed at building capacity, ensuring accountability and transparency, and fostering innovation. Port Houston has brought Wright on board to prepare the organization for its 2050 vision, taking their commitment to opportunity and equity to the next level. Her impact in the City of Houston and her consulting work with Harris County have demonstrated her ability to lead business equity and opportunity efforts effectively.

In an interview with Subcontractors USA - Texas, Wright discussed the vision for the port, the role that it plays in the economic growth of the Houston area, significant opportunities for subcontractors looking to do business with the port, and so much more.

WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR THE PORT? new Executive Office Building project, and various other capital projects. These WHAT ARE YOUR OVERALL GOALS? My immediate vision is to serve as a thought partner, while also challenging us to be more assertive in seizing opportunities for growth and inclusion.

This involves building a robust pipeline of diverse leaders internally, who are capable of guiding Port Houston through its next phase of development and ensuring our region's continued prosperity. Port Houston has a proud legacy, established by our long-term leaders, of being the number one maritime port in the United States, handling the largest amount of foreign waterborne tonnage, and being a key economic driver for the region. In the short term, over the next three to five years, my goals are focused on expanding opportunities for small, minority, and women-owned businesses (S/MWBEs). This includes connecting these businesses to the vast opportunities within our operations, such as the

initiatives offer unique chances for partnership that must be maximized. One of our major undertakings is Project 11, a massive infrastructure project aimed at enhancing the Houston Ship Channel.

While many aspects of this project are beyond the immediate capacity of our S/MWBEs, we are committed to ensuring that prime contractors strategically create opportunities for these businesses. Overall, my vision and goals for Port Houston are centered around fostering an inclusive supply chain, enhancing our support for S/MWBEs, and strengthening our engagement with the local community. By doing so, we aim to contribute significantly to regional development and prosperity, ensuring that Port Houston remains a beacon of opportunity and equity in the maritime industry.

Equity Officer Carlecia Wright and Upcoming Opportunities terway in the nation, handling 67 million tons more than the #2 waterway and 95% more than any U.S. port. Port Houston advocates for and is a strategic leader for the channel. The Houston Ship Channel complex, which has more than 200 private and eight public facilities, is the nation's largest port for waterborne tonnage and an essential economic engine for the Houston region, the state of Texas, and the U.S. Business activity along the Houston Ship Channel supports the creation of nearly 1.5 million jobs in Texas and 3.37 million jobs nationwide, and economic activity totaling $439 billion in Texas and $906 billion in economic impact across the nation. Port Houston owns, manages, and operates the eight public facilities along the 52-mile waterway, which includes the area's largest breakbulk facility and the two public container terminals, Bayport and Barbours Cut. Together, these two container terminals handle more than 70% of all container cargo through the Gulf.

recent is the billion-dollar Houston Ship Channel Expansion – Project 11. As the local sponsor of this crucial federal waterway, Port Houston has partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to expand the channel. However, the expansion of the Houston Ship Channel is not just a project, it’s a crucial step towards ensuring national energy security, thriving U.S. exports, local manufacturing growth and expanding job opportunities.

When complete, the Houston Ship Channel expansion – Project 11 – will widen the channel by 170 feet along its Galveston Bay reach, from 530 feet to 700 feet.

It’s named Project 11 to highlight that it’s the 11th major expansion of the Houston Ship Channel in its 110-year history.

WHAT ARE SOME COMMON ISSUES OR ROADBLOCKS SUBCONTRACTORS, COMPANIES, OR PEOPLE ENCOUNTER WHEN TRYING TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE PORT? A common issue that subcontractors, companies, and individuals encounter when trying to do business with the port involves navigating complex regulatory requirements. This can often be a daunting task, particularly for smaller businesses that may not have the same resources as larger firms. Another significant roadblock is accessing timely and accurate information about available opportunities and specific requirements. Smaller businesses often face resource constraints, both financial and human, which can impact their ability to compete effectively and seize opportunities. At Port Houston, we are committed to addressing these challenges through a range of supportive measures. We provide comprehensive support and resources to help businesses overcome these obstacles.

IN WHAT AREAS DOES THE PORT SEE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUBCONTRACTORS LOOKING TO DO BUSINESS? Subcontractors have significant opportunities in Project 11 Channel infrastructure, technology services, operations and maintenance projects. Ongoing and future projects, such as expanding and modernizing port facilities, create a high demand for specialized construction and

“Port Houston has a proud legacy, established by our long-term leaders, of being the number one maritime port in the United States, handling the largest amount of foreign waterborne tonnage, and being a key economic driver for the region.”

— Carlecia Wright, Chief Business Equity Officer at Port Houston

WHAT ROLE DOES PORT HOUSTON PLAY IN THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF THE HOUSTON AREA AND THE BROADER REGION? Port Houston plays a vital role in the economic growth of Houston and the broader region. The latest economic survey released just last year revealed that in 2022, marine cargo activity at the 200 private terminals along the Houston Ship Channel, along with the contribution of our eight public terminals, helped support a total of $906 billion of U.S. economic value, of which $439 billion was in the state of Texas.

HOW HAS PORT HOUSTON GROWN OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS? CAN YOU PROVIDE SOME EXAMPLES OF SIGNIFICANT MILESTONES? The Houston Ship Channel and Port Houston have continued - since its inception in 1914 - more than 100 years ago through visionary leadership and continuous investments towards future growth. One of the key milestones of

engineering services. Additionally, our push towards digitalization and green initiatives presents ample opportunities for tech and environmental sectors.

HOW DOES THE PORT PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR SUBCONTRACTORS’ GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT? Port Houston supports subcontractors through various capacity-building programs designed to enhance their skills and capabilities. Our Opportunity U program, for example, offers comprehensive training and development workshops tailored to meet the needs of our subcontractors. We are committed to maintaining transparent and accessible bidding processes, ensuring fair opportunities for all subcontractors. In addition, we host networking events and forums that facilitate connections between subcontractors and potential internal business partners. In 2023, we launched our annual Inclusive Procurement Forum, which brings together prime contractors, internal business partners, and small, minority, and women-owned business enterprises. Due to the high demand from our

sumer goods, exports of Texas-grown agriculture products or resins, and the movement of steel products, which are vital to Houston’s thriving petrochemical complex.

HOW DOES PORT HOUSTON PLAN TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE GROWTH IN TERMS OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND CAPACITY? WHERE DO YOU SEE YOUR BIGGEST GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS? Port Houston is continuously improving and expanding our eight public facilities by strategically investing in capital projects in order to continue to be an efficient gateway to move goods and products.

In fact, we have a planned $1.7 billion in landside infrastructure investments planned over the next five years. These enhancements, which include added wharves at Bayport Container Terminal, new cranes, and redevelopment of breakbulk and general cargo docks, will help prepare us for future cargo needs.

In addition, the $1 billion Houston Ship Channel Expansion – Project 11, which is currently underway, helps ready this vital waterway for the future needs of vessels and businesses. As a result of these investments coupled with our strong partnership with labor, our terminals are well-prepared for cargo growth, in particular imports of containerized con-

We also understand the importance of mentorship and guidance. Our participation in the Interagency Mentor Protégé Program (IMPP) pairs new or small businesses with experienced mentors who can offer valuable advice and support.

HOW DOES PORT HOUSTON ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY? Engaging with the local community is a core part of Port Houston’s mission. We host a variety of community outreach programs, including events and forums where we connect with residents and local businesses. Our educational initiatives, in partnership with schools and educational institutions, provide learning opportunities and raise awareness about the maritime industry. Additionally, we encourage volunteerism among our employees and support local charitable organizations, demonstrating our commitment to giving back to the community.

CenterPoint Energy Continues Transformative Investments in System Resiliency Projects to Strengthen Houston’s Electric Grid Resiliency refers to the system's ability to prepare for, adapt to and optimally recover from disruptive incidents such as severe weather events, physical attacks and cyberattacks.

A more resilient transmission and distribution system and supporting equipment will better withstand the effects of these events while avoiding damage to the system. Improved resiliency across the system will help reduce overall customer outage times, lessen the number of customers affected and lower system restoration costs for us and our customers.

“Every day, our customers depend on the services CenterPoint Energy provides," said Lynnae Wilson, CenterPoint Energy's Senior Vice President of Electric Business.

By Subcontractors USA News Provider s part of CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC's commitment to the safe and reliable delivery of electricity across the Greater Houston area, the company filed a Transmission and Distribution System Resiliency Plan with the Public Utility Commission of Texas.

A

CenterPoint Energy's electric service territory covers approximately 5,000 square miles across Houston and surrounding communities and includes nearly 60,000 circuit miles of transmission and distribution lines, serving approximately 2.8 million metered customers across its electric

system. The Greater Houston area – which contains a thriving industrial and petrochemical sector, the Port of Houston and the Texas Medical Center – lies at the heart of CenterPoint's Houston electric service territory and is at risk of extreme weather events.

The region continues to experience rapid population growth and strong economic expansion. While the Greater Houston area comprises about 2% of the geographic area of Texas, CenterPoint Energy's metered customers account for approximately 25% of the total electric load in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region.

To continue meeting the region's electricity demand, CenterPoint Energy must strive to increase system resiliency.

The Greater Houston region's experience with severe weather events emphasizes the importance of increasing our electric system's resiliency. As a regulated 'poles and wires' utility, CenterPoint Energy has the responsibility of building a stronger, modern and more adaptable electric grid to enhance resiliency during and in response to severe weather events and physical or cyberattacks, ultimately improving service to our customers.

The Resiliency Plan filed outlines the comprehensive next steps and initiatives CenterPoint Energy intends to undertake from 2025 to 2027 in enhancing the resiliency of its transmission and distribution system. The proposed capital investments between $2.2 billion to $2.7 billion include projects related to system hardening and modernization, flood mitigation, vegetation management, wildfire mitigation, physical security and infrastructure technology.

Implementing Public Feedback in TxDOT's New Long-Range Plan vehicles.

The statewide, long-range transportation plan draft identifies the following goals: SAFETY Plan, build and maintain a safe and secure transportation system for all users.

PRESERVATION Maintain and preserve transportation infrastructure and resources to achieve a state of good repair and mitigate asset deterioration.

MOBILITY

By Subcontractors USA News Provider an assist from extensive public W ithinput, TxDOT is crafting a

statewide, long-range transportation plan to meet the transportation needs of Texas for the next 25 years.

The plan — Connecting Texas 2050 — considers all modes of transportation, including roadways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, transit, freight and passenger rail, airports, waterways and seaports.

A critical component of this new draft plan was feedback TxDOT heard from people, companies and agencies through an extensive public involvement period in 2023. TxDOT gathered input about what transportation challenges and needs exist in different regions

of Texas and how those needs can be met.

TxDOT asked for public input again to help review the draft plan, which can be found at connectingtexas2050.com. The public comment window for the Connecting Texas 2050 draft was open from May 10 to June 9, 2024. This was the final public comment period for Connecting Texas 2050.

During TxDOT’s previous public engagement, Texans made it clear they wanted safer, more accessible and affordable transportation options, and emphasized a desire to enhance public transit.

In addition, there were concerns about the environment, including extreme weather, air quality, traffic noise and animal crossings.

Texans want TxDOT to plan for future growth, including maintaining current roadways, relieving congestion, improving

public health, preparing for technology like electric vehicles, and enhancing sidewalks, trails and paths for walking and biking accessibility.

Nearly 31% of people who responded to the statewide survey said the state transportation budget should allocate at least 20% for passenger/commuter rail service.

In addition to hearing from the public, TxDOT consulted its advisory committees, local districts and external partner agencies.

Priorities for these entities include those stated above, plus addressing freight congestion, the truck parking shortage, and connecting rural communities.

They also emphasized the need to prepare for growing technological advancements by increasing broadband capacity, developing electric vehicle infrastructure and corridors, and leveraging technology for autonomous

Address congestion by improving efficiency, resilience and reliability.

CONNECTIVITY Improve and enhance multimodal connectivity at the local, regional, statewide, national and international levels.

ECONOMIC VITALITY Develop transportation systems that support the movement of people and goods to enhance quality of life and promote personal and statewide economic growth.

STEWARDSHIP Continue the responsible and efficient use of federal, state and local fiscal and natural resources.

The draft can be reviewed online at connectingtexas2050.com, at your local TxDOT district office, and at the TxDOT Headquarters Stassney Campus in Austin.

HOUSTON SHIP CHANNEL STILL NO. 1 WATERWAY

Channel, a 10% increase over 2021 and a record for the port.

There is a gap of 67 million tons in annual tonnage between the Houston channel and the country’s No. 2 port. The 67-million-ton difference is larger than 94% of all U.S. ports.

By Subcontractors USA News Provider he Houston Ship Channel continues to hold the “top spot” among the nation’s waterways: that rating was confirmed in April, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released the U.S. Coastal and Inland Navigation System 2022 Transportation Facts & Information Report, incorporating the latest data on tonnage and waterway rankings.

This report confirms that the Houston Ship Channel is the vital economic engine to the nation and helps serve as the basis for expediting Project 11, providing for growth, a safer channel, and improved efficiency and emissions for the benefit of our region,

According to Port Houston, the Houston Ship Channel remains the nation’s No. 1 waterway in waterborne tonnage.

In 2022, 293.8 million tons moved along the Houston Ship

Chairman Ric Campo said. “And it underscores the importance of continued federal funding to maintain the nation’s busiest

T

waterway, so it can meet the daily needs of the region it serves.”

While touting the waterway’s top ranking, Chairman Campo highlighted the importance and steady progress of Project 11 as “a testament to all those involved.” He emphasized that the No. 1 position means “jobs for our region.”

“When you think about being number one, it means we’re also number one in jobs,” Chairman Campo said. “The more jobs created; the more value created for the region.”

San Antonio International Airport, American Airlines to Pursue Nonstop Flight from Military City USA

By Subcontractors USA

San Antonio is one of the fastest growing cities in the country and is the largest unserved market in Texas from DCA. This route will provide a one-stop connection option from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic to SAT on our industryleading domestic network while continuing to offer nonstop service to more than 85 destinations from DCA. We’re grateful to Senator Cruz, the San Antonio International Airport, and the city of San Antonio for their partnership to connect Military City USA to our nation's capital on American Airlines.

News Provider an Antonio International Airport (SAT) and American Airlines announced on May 15 a partnership with the goal of initiating nonstop service from San Antonio to Washington, D.C.

Five new roundtrip flights at Reagan National Airport were authorized through the passage of the Federal Aviation Administration bill on May 15. Once these new slots are made available, American Airlines will submit an application to the U.S. Department of Transportation to initiate service from SAT to DCA.

We have been working for more than a decade to give residents of America’s seventh-largest city the same access to our nation’s leaders as nearly every other major city in the country, said San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg. “I am grateful for the hard work of Senator Cruz and our entire congressional delegation and look forward to Secretary Buttigieg’s approval of American’s application to initiate nonstop service from Military City USA to DCA.”

(SAT) from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA),” said American Executive Vice President of Corporate Real Estate and Chief Government Affairs Officer Nate Gatten.

SAT serves a regional population of more than 5.2 million people and is home to a diversified robust economy, including one of the largest concentrations of military bases in the country. Joint Base San Antonio supports 266 mission partners and employs 82,000 active-duty members and civilian employees.

A nonstop flight between San Antonio and Reagan National will save the military and

its partners more than 500,000 man-hours annually. Additionally, San Antonio is home to the largest concentration of intelligence and cybersecurity professionals outside of the national capital region.

“With Congress increasing the number of long-distance flights at DCA, American is thrilled to announce its intent to apply to serve San Antonio International Airport

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), the ranking member of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, worked with U.S. Senator and Chair of the committee Maria Cantwell (D-WA) to secure language for five new slots in the reauthorization bill for the Federal Aviation Administration. In May, the Senate approved the FAA bill by a bipartisan vote of 88-4. The House approved the bill overwhelmingly 387 to 26.

Port Houston Posts Double Digit Box Growth

In response to the increased volumes at Bayport and Barbours Cut Container Terminals, Port Houston is shifting customers to use its Express Pass appointment system.

This timeless appointment option allows trucking companies to initiate transactions prior to arriving. It also provides access to dedicated Express Pass lanes and reduces ingate transaction time, which in turn improves truck turn times in and out of the facilities.

Our Express Pass system is designed to enhance efficiency at our container terminals. It improves customer truck turn times by providing our team with greater visibility and predictability, which helps us work smarter, said Roger Guenther, Executive Director of Port Houston. “By using this system, our customers are helping us help them reduce their time spent at our terminals. With 10,000 truck visits on average each day every minute, every second, matters.”

By Subcontractors USA News Provider ort Houston continues to exceed last year’s container volumes and is up 12% through April with 1,394,094 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). In the month of April, 324,177 TEUs moved through the port, which represents a 5%

P

increase compared to the previous year's April figures.

A closer look at container cargo shows strong volume for both loaded imports and loaded exports as both directions continue an upward trend. Loaded imports are up 4% for the month and 12% year-to-date through April, totaling 632,886 TEUs, following a recent surge in new import distribution centers

constructed in the area. Compared to 2023, loaded exports handled in April were up 8%, while year-to-date volumes have surged 14%, totaling 523,426 TEUs. The rise in exports is attributed to the demand for regionally produced automotive, furniture, cotton, and plastic resin goods. Port Houston continues to be the nation’s top gateway for resin exports, with a market share of 60%.

General cargo moving through Port Houston's multipurpose facilities has slowed. Steel volumes decreased by 32% in April compared to the same month last year, while other commodities, such as fertilizer, molasses, and tallow, have shown gains. Total tonnage at Port Houston increased by 4% to 17,559,014 tons year-to-date.
