Coast Guard to build 30 additional housing units, child development center at Base Kodiak 

From U.S. Coast Guard Arctic District, June 12, 2026 

WASHINGTON – The Coast Guard awarded two task orders in May 2026 to the Tutor Perini Corporation to construct 30 additional housing units, a child development center and other infrastructure improvements at Base Kodiak. 

Both task orders were issued under the National Multiple Award Construction Contract III. The first task order, valued at $81.8 million, constructs 15 family housing duplexes, featuring 20 three-bedroom and 10 four-bedroom units. The second task order, valued at $61.6 million, supports construction of a 22,000-square-foot child development center and an 11,000-square-foot outdoor play area. Construction of both task order projects is expected to finish in 2028. 

These projects mark the final phase of the Nemetz Park housing initiative, which has already delivered 50 new housing units for Coast Guard families at Base Kodiak. 

The task orders also include site development, demolition, utility infrastructure, road and sidewalk pavement, landscaping, child play areas, a new water tank and soil and water remediation. The new child development center will provide childcare services for more than 200 children. 

Base Kodiak is the Coast Guard’s largest operational facility and a critical provider of U.S. presence and capability in the Arctic region, supporting both surface and aviation operations. 

The Coast Guard is leveraging the historic investments provided through the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Reconciliation and prior year appropriations to deliver shore facilities and infrastructure that support the full scope of Coast Guard missions. Using the historic $25 billion investment provided by the FY25 budget reconciliation, the Coast Guard has already ordered over $13 billion in new fleet assets and capabilities, demonstrating the Service’s commitment to modernizing acquisition, enhancing infrastructure, and delivering next-generation technology. 

“These new housing units and child development center represent a significant investment in the well-being of Coast Guard families stationed at Base Kodiak,” said Capt. John Barresi, deputy assistant commandant, Program Executive Office Shore. “By expanding access to quality housing, modern facilities, and essential services, we are ensuring our personnel – and their families – have the support they need to thrive, allowing our workforce to remain focused on fulfilling the Coast Guard’s vital mission in this region.” 

The completed cutter support facilities and family housing units were planned and executed by the Coast Guard’s Program Executive Office-Shore, Facilities Design and Construction Center and Shore Infrastructure Logistics Center.
