Comfort Station & Pavilion General Repairs and Reroof

The contract is for general repairs and reroofing services at the comfort stations and pavilions within the Keaiwa Heiau State Recreation Area on Oahu, Hawaii, under solicitation number B26002776, with responses due by May 27, 2026. The Department of Land and Natural Resources, through the State of Hawaii, is the procuring agency, and the work must be performed by a licensed contractor holding a valid C-class license under Hawaii state law. The scope includes specialized tasks such as hazmat testing, abatement, and disposal worth $35,000, along with repairs to three comfort stations and potential additive alternates for three pavilions, though pricing for those items is not specified, rendering the total contract value indeterminate. The contract will be awarded using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, meaning the lowest responsive and responsible bid that meets all technical and compliance thresholds will be selected without trade-offs. Key requirements include submission of shop drawings, as-built documents, operation manuals, and a two-year performance guarantee for painting work, with strict adherence to state standards such as HAR §16-77-32 and HRS Chapter 396 for safety and quality control. Contractors must comply with numerous state-specific obligations including current tax clearance from both the Hawaii Department of Taxation and IRS, a valid General Excise Tax License, and certification of compliance with workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. A 100% performance bond and 100% payment bond are required upon award, and no subcontracting or assignment of work is permitted without prior written consent. The work must be performed entirely on-site at the recreation area, with materials delivered in original, unopened packaging bearing full manufacturer labeling including VOC content, lot number, and application instructions. All paint and coating work must meet detailed surface quality criteria, including moisture content limits for substrates and color matching to approved samples, with non-conforming work subject to immediate removal at the contractor’s expense. Additional restrictions prohibit use of asbestos-containing materials, mandate on-site safety plans with first aid availability, require protection of personally identifiable information, and impose a strict ban on campaign contributions by contractors to state legislators during contract performance. All changes must be issued in writing by the State, and the contract is governed by Hawaii law, with inspection and acceptance performed by the government at the job site.
