CO2544-53 ELECTRICAL IMPROVEMENTS

The contract titled CO2544-53 ELECTRICAL IMPROVEMENTS is a solicitation issued by the Hawaii Department of Transportation Airports Division for electrical system enhancements, quality control measures, and archaeological monitoring at airport sites across Oahu. The work involves installing temporary utilities including water, electrical, and telecommunications systems with required meters and backflow prevention, implementing stormwater best management practices, managing contaminated materials, and ensuring full compliance with state and federal environmental and safety regulations such as the National Electrical Code, Hawaii Administrative Rules, and U.S. EPA standards. All personnel must undergo a ten-year criminal background check per Transportation Security Regulation 1542, obtain an Airport Security Section Motor Vehicle Operator’s Permit for access to the Airport Operations Area, and comply with strict security and access protocols including the provision of gate guards. The Contractor is responsible for self-inspection, documentation submission, adherence to approved construction schedules updated every 30 days, and submission of as-built drawings and environmental plans such as the Construction-Environmental Hazard Management Plan. Materials must meet specified durability standards including galvanized steel, Wolmanized wood, and stainless steel tanks, with UL labels and contractor-submittal stamps required on all components; physical tagging is mandatory for pullwires and samples. Performance occurs exclusively at designated state airport locations on Oahu, with no specified start or end date but requiring strict alignment with a Contractor-developed schedule. Payment is tied to documented delivery or completed work via invoices or delivery slips, with no mention of electronic systems like WAWF. The contract does not state a total value, nor does it define a formal contract type such as firm-fixed-price or IDIQ. Evaluation factors, cost weights, and basis of award are not documented, and no formal Section I contract clauses from the FAR, Section J attachments list, or Section M evaluation criteria are included in the solicitation. Special requirements mandate compliance with Hawaii’s 80% resident workforce rule under HRS §103B and offer a 5% bid adjustment for apprenticeship program participation, though these are state labor compliance issues rather than federal socioeconomic set-asides. The State reserves the right to reject any bid, revoke security clearances, or implement corrective actions at the Contractor’s expense, with potential liquidated damages for non-compliance outlined in Appendix A. All proposals must be submitted electronically through the Hawaii eProcurement System (HlePRO) by June 16, 2026, with no hard-copy submissions permitted.
