Guam Military Complex

Abstract

The Port Authority of Guam (PAG) is undertaking a major Modernization Program for the only commercial port serving the island of Guam. Over ninety percent (90% +) of all goods and materials arrive on island via the Port of Guam. The Port of Guam serves as the life line to the island of Guam and to the surrounding Micronesia Region island communities. The Modernization Program will ensure the operational viability of the port, which sustains all current military missions on Guam, while also responding to cargo handling demands associated with the military buildup. The scale and complexity of this effort is unprecedented for the PAG and requires considerable technical expertise and capacity not currently possessed within the in-house staff of the PAG. In keeping with common practices, among ports engaging on similar complex modernization programs, the Office of Economic Adjustment program of assistance enables the PAG to retain the required technical expertise and capacity, via an Owner’s Agent Engineer.
