Award Description: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Port Security Grant Program (ARRA PSGP)
Project Description: Through this accord, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will use grant funding in the amount of $288,066 from the American Recovery and Reinbestment Act Port Security Grant Program (ARRA PSGP) for costs related to enhancing the Nation's port and maritime infrastructure to prevent, protect, respond to , and recover from threats or acts of terrorism. Projects will be determined by the cooperative agreement and grant award processes. These funds are intended to create a sustainable, risk-based effort for the protection of critical port infrastructure from terrorism, especially explosives and non-conventional threats that would cause major disruption to commerce and significant loss of life. Project 1: Rapid-response Patrol Boat with Side Scan Sonar is approved for funding in the amount of $288,066. Not funding fuel.
Jobs Summary: There are insufficient data available to determine the true number of jobs created or retained. The purpose of these federal monies was to purchase two Safe Boats from an approved vendor. The production operation in building and shipping the purchase order may have indirectly helped retained jobs; however the vendor did not report any new jobs as a result of our purchase order. (Total jobs reported: 0)
