PROJECT INFORMATION: The United States Army Corps of Engineers has the requirement to repair the south breakwater and ammunition pier at Kuwait Naval Base. KNB was originally constructed in the late 1970's and over the last 40 years the superstructure of the south breakwater and the ammunition pier (which is accessed from the breakwater) has fallen into disrepair. There is significant cracking and various types of damage to the concrete superstructure of the breakwater. The breakwater is approximately 1.2 kilometers in length and creates an artificial harbor for the portside operations of KNB. The breakwater supports a roadway allowing two-way traffic to the head of the breakwater, as well as various utilities (including fuel, water, sanitary sewer, and electrical service). The scope of this project includes the replacement of the ocean side parapet wall, repair of various instances of concrete spalling and cracking on the harbor side of the breakwater, various aesthetic improvements to all parts of the breakwater, resurfacing and pothole repair of existing roadways, replacement of harbor side sidewalks, repair and/or replacement of an indicated number of harbor side foundation blocks, and the replacement of all utilities lines. The scope also includes the replacement of access ladders, moorings, water filling stations, sewage offload stations, fueling points, electrical connections for moored vessels, fire suppression connections points, light poles, and navigational lighting. The ammunition pier is approximately 1875 square meters in size, with two access bridges to the roadway on the breakwater, and is used for ammunition loading and off-loading operations. The scope of the project includes the removal and replacement of the concrete decking and all other features of the ammunition pier with the exception of the existing support piles, including the two bridges connecting the ammunition pier to the breakwater. Prior to construction beginning on the ammunition pier, an alternative ammunition pier must be constructed so that periodic ammunition off-load operations can continue during construction.

4/23/15, 11:40 AM Breakwater and Cargo Pier Repair at Kuwait Naval Base (KNB)
Added: Jun 15, 2015 2:41 pm The U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) Middle East District intends to solicit names of construction firms experienced in working in the Middle East region who are interested in submitting a firm-fixed price offer for this project. Note: The Project name Breakwater and Ammunition Pier Repair has changed to Breakwater and Cargo Pier Repair. PROJECT SCOPE: This project scope includes the following elements: Repair of the south breakwater and cargo pier at Kuwait Naval Base (KNB). KNB was originally constructed in the late 1970's and over the last 35 years the superstructure of the south breakwater and the cargo pier, which is accessed from the breakwater has fallen into disrepair. There is significant cracking and various types of damage to the concrete superstructure of the breakwater. The breakwater is approximately 1.0 kilometers in length and creates an artificial harbor for the portside operations of KNB. The breakwater supports a roadway allowing traffic to the head of the breakwater, as well as various utilities (including fuel, water, fire water, communications, and electrical service). The scope of this project includes the replacement of the ocean side vertical wall for the length of the breakwater, the replacement of the harbor side walls along the raised head sections, replacement of the road pavement sections on the raised head sections of the breakwater, the repair and resurfacing of the concrete deck along trunk sections of the breakwater, repair/resurfacing of the harbor side wall on the trunk sections, roadway resurfacing for the length of the breakwater, various aesthetic improvements to all parts of the breakwater, replacement of ocean side sidewalks, repair of an indicated number of ocean side foundation blocks, and the replacement of all utility lines. The scope also includes the repair or replacement of safety railings, access ladders, anchor bollards, mooring cleats, water filling stations, fueling points, fire suppression connections points, light poles, flag poles, guard rails, an 110kV transformer, electrical distribution panels, shelters, and navigational lighting. The cargo pier is approximately 1875 square meters in size, with two access bridges to the roadway on the breakwater, and is used for cargo loading and off-loading operations. The scope of the project includes the removal and replacement of the entire pier concrete decking, the access bridges, the concrete pile caps supporting the bridges, and all features of the cargo pier located on top of the bridge and deck. The existing support piles are sound, and may remain. The fender system is structurally independent of the pier deck, and may also remain with the exception of the northern end (which has been irreparably damaged) and the wooden bumpers bolted to the vessel side of the fender. Prior to construction beginning on the cargo pier, an alternative cargo pier must be constructed so that periodic cargo off-load operations can continue during construction. This pier should be considered a permanent feature which will remain after completion of construction. The anticipated period of performance is 640 calendar days for the Project. A firm fixed price contract will be awarded to a prime construction contractor. The magnitude of the project is between $25,000,000.00 and $100,000,000.00.
