Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park Improvements

The Department of Land & Natural Resources in Hawaii is soliciting bids for comprehensive improvements at Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park under solicitation number B26002795, with responses due by June 6, 2026. The scope involves constructing a new paved parking area, interpretive shelter, storage building, and boardwalk; installing an asphalt overlay; renovating the existing pavilion; building a composting restroom facility with associated appurtenances; and installing a new aerobic wastewater treatment system. All work must comply with Hawaii Administrative Rules and Revised Statutes, including environmental, safety, and procurement regulations, and is subject to state oversight without formal federal acquisition regulation clause structures. The contract requires the contractor to obtain and maintain multiple state certifications including a Certificate of Compliance from the Department of Labor, a Certificate of Good Standing, a General Excise Tax License, and tax clearances from both state and federal authorities, with final payment contingent upon submission of these documents. Subcontracting or assignment of work is prohibited without prior written consent from the state, and the contractor must indemnify the state against patent infringement claims. The contractor is also required to safeguard personal information, report data breaches immediately, and is forbidden from making campaign contributions to state officials if the project is funded by legislative appropriations. The place of performance is at Kealakekua Bay on the island of Hawaii, with all delivery and performance locations subject to change via authorized modifications. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities rest solely with the state, and the contractor must ensure all work meets generally accepted industry standards and complies with federal, state, and county laws. Payment procedures require submission of original invoices certified as complete and are subject to availability of funds and approval by the Director of Finance, with no specific invoicing system mandated. The contractor must ensure all personnel are qualified and licensed, maintain tax compliance throughout performance, and pay subcontractors within ten days of receipt of funds. Although the solicitation does not specify a contract value or provide evaluation factors for award, it outlines detailed compliance obligations and administrative requirements tied to Hawaii state procurement rules and environmental protections, with no mention of federal standards such as MIL-STD or UEI/CAGE code requirements. The contracting officer’s representative and procurement office contact information is not provided, with primary point of contact being Steve Ozoa of the Department of Land & Natural Resources.
