POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Peru--Design and Construction at Callao Naval Base
The Government of Peru has requested to buy equipment and services
to support the procurement of maritime and onshore facilities at the
Callao Naval Base. The following non-Major Defense Equipment items will
be included: lifecycle design; construction; project management;
engineering studies; engineering services; technical support; facility
and infrastructure assessments; surveys; planning; programming; design;
acquisition; contract administration; construction management; U.S.
Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support
services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.
The estimated total cost is $1.5 billion.
This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy objectives
of the U.S.
[[Page 12766]]
by helping to improve the security of an important partner which is a
force for political stability, peace, and economic progress in South
America.
The proposed sale will improve Peru's port infrastructure to
accommodate current and future naval and logistical operations and
requirements. This sale will also provide a safer, more efficient
platform for naval operations by reducing civilian[hyphen]military
interactions at the existing facility. Peru will have no difficulty
absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this construction and support will not alter
the regional military balance in the region.
The principal contractor or contractors will be determined later
from a list of approved vendors, likely through a competitive process.
At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset agreement
proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement
will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the
contractor or contractors.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of
up to twenty U.S. Government or U.S. contractor representatives to Peru
for a duration of up to ten years to provide construction management
and oversight.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
