HI ERFO FTNP HAVO 10(4), Crater Rim Drive Seismic Spot Repairs

The contract involves seismic damage repair and trail construction within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, addressing impacts from volcanic activity and earthquakes in 2018. The project scope includes repairing approximately 12 damage sites, constructing a new multi-use trail spanning around 15 miles, installing a single-span pedestrian bridge, and replacing guardrails along Chain of Craters Road. Additional work involves rock scaling, restoring a historic stone masonry guardwall, traffic counter replacement at the park entrance, and roadway repairs through grading, paving, and pavement markings to return affected areas to their original condition. Construction must minimize disturbance to adjacent lands and restrict equipment width to 48 inches, necessitating the use of compact machinery such as mini dozers and excavators. Significant quantities include substantial asphalt removal and replacement, riprap and rock embankment installation, guardrail system construction, and traffic detection system installation. The base contract covers nine seismic repair locations under the ERFO program, with options for additional repairs, repaving, and traffic system upgrades. The estimated contract value ranges from $3 million to $5 million, with tentative construction scheduled over approximately three months starting mid-January 2020. Due to seasonal constraints, much of the on-site work is planned after the high visitation holiday period, with limited early access possible in December. The solicitation was anticipated for advertisement in early October 2019, with bid opening in November and an award expected by mid-November 2019.
