Design-Build Ship Lift at Kuwait Naval Base (KNB)

The US Army Corps of Engineers is conducting market research to gain knowledge of potential sources and determine potential acquisition strategies for a design-build ship lift project at Kuwait Naval Base (KNB). The project involves the design, construction, installation, and certification of a ship lift that will coordinate with the existing rail transfer yard to provide a means to safely transport vessels from the water to locations throughout the drydock areas. The scope of the project includes the design and installation of a new ship lift, structural improvements to the existing piers and piles, and associated utility systems upgrades. • The project is for the Kuwait Ministry of Defence (KMOD). • The place of performance is Kuwait Naval Base, Kuwait, and the ability to perform work in Kuwait and obtain base access is required. • The existing system at KNB was originally built by Pearlson Shiplift Corporation (PSC). • The anticipated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this potential requirement is 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) with a small business size of $45M.
