# Coast Guard Awards Kodiak Water Infrastructure Contract

The U.S. Coast Guard awarded Gilbane Federal a **$114 million** contract on October 29, 2026, to modernize water infrastructure at Base Kodiak, Alaska. The work will replace more than eight miles of water lines and four storage tanks to improve potable-water capacity and fire suppression, with completion scheduled for October 2031. The investment supports Coast Guard operations and its future Arctic Security Cutters; separately planned Kodiak projects include a fuel pier, cargo wharf upgrades, housing, and a child development center, but the source identifies no open solicitations for that work.

- The award is a substantial shore-infrastructure project at a strategically important Coast Guard base, with a five-year delivery timeline.
- Contractors should treat the water-system work as awarded, not an active bidding opportunity. The other Kodiak projects are planned work, not identified solicitations.
- Firms interested in future Kodiak work can use the named pier, wharf, housing, and child-development-center projects to focus their business development on potential infrastructure opportunities, while distinguishing planned projects from released procurements.
