The U.S. Coast Guard has awarded Gilbane Federal of Providence, Rhode Island, a $114 million contract to modernize water infrastructure at Base Kodiak, Alaska, replacing more than 8 miles of main distribution lines and four large-scale storage tanks.
Scheduled for completion in Oct. 2031, the project will improve drinking water reliability and fire suppression at the Coast Guard’s largest operational installation. Funding comes through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
The work includes a dedicated water supply and reliable pressure for fire suppression systems serving two operational aircraft hangars and key shore facilities. It also aims to provide safe, dependable potable water for active-duty, reserve and civilian personnel and family members living and working on base.
The contract covers design, labor, materials, equipment and site work needed for the modernized water utility network. Civil Engineering Unit (CEU) Juneau is executing the project under the Shore Infrastructure Logistics Center within the Coast Guard’s Program Executive Office (PEO) Shore.
"Every day, the Coast Guard delivers value to our Nation by controlling, securing, and defending our northern border and maritime approaches in the Arctic", said Rear Adm. Jon Hickey, Deputy Commandant for Systems. "Our crews need modern, resilient shore capabilities to answer the call and get the mission done. By investing $114 million to modernize Base Kodiak’s critical water and fire-suppression infrastructure, we are directly supporting our forces and their families while building the foundation for our expanding polar fleet and long-term mission readiness."
Base Kodiak supports surface and aviation operations across Alaska and the Arctic approaches. It is also designated as the future homeport for the Service’s first two Arctic Security Cutters.
The water upgrades are part of a broader set of projects planned or underway at the base to support expanding mission capabilities and workforce growth. Those projects include a new fuel pier and cargo wharf upgrades to support major cutters and icebreakers, along with 30 additional family housing units and a new child development center.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act provides nearly $25 billion for the Coast Guard, the largest capital investment in the Service’s history. The Coast Guard says it has already ordered over $20 billion in new assets and capabilities, critical depot maintenance and shore facilities using that investment.
