- Year: 2021

In November 2021, Kiewit Corporation was one of the five selected companies to modernize the Navy’s two out of four public shipyards and support the fleet’s growing repair and maintenance backlog.
The shipyards following a 19th and 20th-century design with old-aged utilities, IT infrastructure, dry docks, and equipment, make it a challenging project for efficient maintenance and modernization. This calls for modern measures to prevent higher costs, delays, and reliability issues.
The IDIQ multiple-award contract has a combined ceiling value of $8 billion for the Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program. The five contractors each received $2 million as part of the contract’s minimum guarantee and will compete for future task orders, including:
- Preconstruction planning
- Planning
- Site improvements (e.g., environmental and incidental design)
- Construction of the warehouse, dry docks, waterfront facilities, etc.
The work is expected to end by November 2029 and is performed mainly within the NAVFAC Pacific areas of responsibility, such as Hawaii, Guam, Pacific, Indian Oceans, Washington, and other NAVFAC cognizance areas.
