CM1641-33 EAST RAMP TAXILANE REPAIRS AT KAHULUI AIRPORT

The contract for CM1641-33 EAST RAMP TAXILANE REPAIRS AT KAHULUI AIRPORT involves asphalt pavement repairs including cold milling of 26,500 square yards, placement of 5,800 tons of asphalt surface course, application of 2,700 gallons of emulsified asphalt tack coat, and new pavement markings covering 18,500 square feet. Work is confined to the East Ramp Taxilane and Main Terminal Apron at Kahului Airport in Hawaii, with mobilization required upon issuance of a Notice to Proceed within 35 days after bid opening. The contractor must implement a comprehensive Contractor Quality Control Program (CQCP) aligned with FAA and ASTM standards, including submission of inspection schedules, test results, and equipment calibration records. Quality acceptance is determined at the job site through in-place density testing and core sampling, with performance measured by Percentage Within Limits (PWL) thresholds: acceptance requires at least 90% PWL for key metrics such as air voids (2.0–5.0%), mat density (≥92.8% for surface course, ≥92.0% for base course), and joint density (≥90.5%). Pavement grade must not deviate more than half an inch vertically. Materials must comply with Federal Standard 595 colors (white FS 37925, yellow FS 33655), and all submittals must be labeled with contractor, manufacturer, material type, color, submission number, and date, stamped with a certification seal. Two allowance items are capped at $10,000 for additional contaminated media management and $101,000 for joint and crack repair, forming the only known pricing limits, though base unit prices for major work items remain blank, leaving the total contract value uncertain beyond a minimum estimated $111,000. The contract follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) award model where technical compliance serves as a mandatory threshold and price is the primary selection factor, with a 5% bid preference applicable to contractors using registered apprenticeship programs. Contractors must verify utility locations and field elevations prior to work and ensure all materials are delivered in sealed containers to preserve quality, with surface applications restricted under wet or high-humidity conditions. All proposals must be submitted electronically through the Hawaii eProcurement System (HlePRO) by June 10
