Port of Houston security plans are approved

Port of Houston security plans are approved    The Port of Houston Authority commission has awarded a contract to TRC-Econ Capital, L.P. for security infrastructure enhancements.
   Under the estimated $12-million, three-year design/build contract, TRC-Econ is expected to prepare a security master plan and implement the design and construction of fences, closed-circuit television systems, facility access controls and other security work.
   The commission also agreed to execute a memorandum of understanding that will enable Global Environment & Technology Foundation to help Port of Houston Authority develop and implement the first security management system at a U.S. port. Global Environment & Technology Foundation will mentor, coach, and consult in the training and development of an integrated, multi-facility security system that can be managed, continually updated, and improved in a manner similar to Port of Houston Authority’s environmental management system.
   The memorandum of understanding covers services over a two-year period at an estimated cost of $45,000.
