Design-Build Services for Federal-Aid Project No. 03000159, Recipient Project No. TAP-0300(159), Ala Wai Bridge Project, Island of O'ahu

The City and County of Honolulu Department of Transportation Services, in collaboration with the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration, is seeking a qualified Design-Builder to design and construct a new pedestrian bridge spanning approximately 300 feet over the Ala Wai Canal on O’ahu. The bridge will connect the University Avenue corridor with Waikīkī at Kālaimoku Street, providing a crucial non-motorized, safe crossing in response to a longstanding community need. The project has secured a total budget of $55,280,000 under the current Transportation Improvement Program. The procurement will follow a two-part design-build process, ensuring both design and construction phases are integrated efficiently. The solicitation, identified as RFP-DTS-1987711, was posted on December 16, 2025, with proposals due by January 26, 2026. This federal-aid project is categorized under NAICS code 485999 and is managed by the City & County of Honolulu, with Romona Maeshiro serving as the primary contact. The emphasis on safe pedestrian infrastructure and strategic connectivity reflects broader transportation goals in the region. The solicitation details and submission requirements are accessible through the Hawaii eHawaii.gov portal. While an addendum for a separate infrastructure project related to F Avenue NW and Levee dated August 2025 includes technical clarifications and scope adjustments, it does not pertain to or impact the Ala Wai Pedestrian Bridge project.
