Project anatomy
Contract scope and delivery roles
- Client / authority
- Kenya State Department for the Blue Economy and Fisheries through KEMFSED, World Bank project P163980
- Delivery parties
- Gesken Enterprises Ltd - prime works contractor under KE-MOMBE&MA-LM-2024-010-CW
- Contract route
- The State Department procured Mokowe through a World Bank-financed Request for Bids subject to post review. Award data records contract 1793320 signed on 11 June 2024. Its scope excludes subcontract awards and cofinancing, so Gesken is a prime-award identification rather than evidence of the downstream marine supply chain.
- Execution window
- Mokowe's tender provided a 12-calendar-month works period. The December 2024 ESIA anticipated 12 months from site handover and six months of defects liability. Neither document confirms when handover occurred, whether the jetty work mobilised, or whether construction and defects close-out were achieved.
- Works package
- Build a modern fish-processing or fish-banda building, ablution block, gatehouse, boundary wall, driveway and parking, drainage, underground water tank, landscaping, pump and power rooms, mechanical and electrical services, street lighting, MBBR and biological wastewater treatment, dissolved-air flotation, land reclamation and a jetty.
- Marine interfaces
- The site sits beside the existing Mokowe jetty and the ESIA allocates a distinct land-reclamation and jetty workfront. Execution has to manage tidal access, shoreline fill, small-vessel landing, fish handling, drainage and wastewater controls. Public sources do not disclose fill quantities, jetty geometry, marine method, plant, lower-tier contractors or as-built acceptance.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- Award data records a USD 1,851,739.07 supplier commitment. The ESIA separately gives a KSh 239,337,275 engineer's estimate, including KSh 84,406,900 for land reclamation and jetty in its design-stage breakdown. These figures have different currencies and reporting boundaries; neither is verified actual spend.
