HOUSTON, TX — The Texas Transportation Commission approved Ferrovial Construction-Webber 99 as the apparent best value proposer and authorized a conditional award for the design-build and capital maintenance contract for the State Highway (SH) 99 Grand Parkway Segment B-1 project near Houston, Texas.
Following a year-long best-value procurement process, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) ranked and scored the pricing and technical proposals submitted by three shortlisted contractors. Ferrovial Construction-Webber 99 ranked highest, with a price of approximately $1.4 billion to design and construct the project with a five-year capital maintenance contract.
“This milestone brings us one step closer to delivering this critical link in the Grand Parkway System,” TxDOT Houston District Engineer Glenn Allbritton, PE, said. “In addition to further integrating the transportation networks of Brazoria and Galveston counties, this transformative project will serve as a catalyst for growth in surrounding communities, while supporting long-term regional economic development.”
Grand Parkway Segment B-1 extends 15 miles, from south of Farm-to-Market Road (FM) 2403 to FM 626 in Brazoria and Galveston counties. The project aims to enhance safety, mobility, and system connectivity while accommodating economic development and providing an alternate emergency evacuation route.
This portion of the 184-mile Grand Parkway loop is designated as a toll project on the state highway system and is being developed by TxDOT under a market valuation waiver agreement executed March 2009.
