NH-093-1(035) Farrington Highway Widening

The Farrington Highway Widening project, solicitation number NH-093-1(035), is a Federal-Aid highway project managed by the Hawaii Department of Transportation. Located in the District of Ewa on the island of Oahu, the work spans from the vicinity of Nanakuli Avenue to Mohihi Street. The primary objective is to improve intersection safety through the development of an auxiliary lane, with a scope of work encompassing excavation, cold-planing, paving, striping, signage, drainage structure modifications, and the installation of retaining walls. The estimated construction cost is between 35 million and 37 million dollars, and the project must be completed within 780 calendar days from the start work date. Bids are submitted via the HiePRO portal, with the final submission deadline extended to December 8, 2026. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder holding a valid State of Hawaii General Engineering A license. Key requirements include compliance with the Buy America and Build America, Buy America Acts, Davis-Bacon wage provisions, and the submission of tax clearance certificates from the IRS and the State of Hawaii Department of Taxation. While the project encourages the use of Hawaii Small Business subcontractors, there is currently no specified DBE goal. Contractors are responsible for comprehensive quality control, including the implementation of a written safety and health plan and adherence to strict pavement smoothness and material testing standards.
