Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas toward the end of August 2017 and inflicted over $100 billion in damage primarily due to rainfall triggered flooding and storm surge. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Station Port Aransas was one of many coastal facilities that was heavily damaged by the storm. The USCG Station consisted of a station building and berthing basin for several types of USCG boats. The station building was catastrophically damaged and eventually torn down leaving the USCG to work out of mobile office trailers. Additionally, the boat house covering two boat berths at the waterfront collapsed during the storm. Furthermore, flowing water and debris damaged some components of the existing waterfront infrastructure. A design-build project was awarded in April 2020 to provide a new station building, rebuild a new boat house, rehabilitate the existing bulkhead, rebuild a pier, and provide a boat ramp.
