Project Description:

A. Description: This project consists of FOUR different and separate scopes of work at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, Hawai‘i: (1) Demolish and Replace HAVO Volcano Disaster Damaged Facilities at Uēkahuna Bluff and Jaggar Museum; (2) Realign Crater Rim Drive and Expand Entrance Station to Improve Visitor Safety; (3) Replace Damaged Fiber Optic Line; and (4) Replace Failing Water Distribution System.

The project scopes of work are described as follows:

1. DEMOLISH AND REPLACE HAVO VOLCANO DISASTER DAMAGED FACILITIES AT UEKAHUNA

BLUFF AND JAGGAR MUSEUM

Project Conditions: This portion of the project is generally located at the Uēkahuna Bluff and Jaggar Museum.

Project Scope of Work: The project will address the repair and replacement of facilities and functions lost at Uēkahuna in a 2018 volcanic event. At Uēkahuna, three buildings and two water tanks will be removed. A new water tank and foundation will be installed to support the existing comfort station on site and an existing campground off site. Existing outdoor facilities will be repaired and expanded to maintain and improve visitor use at the site. The existing comfort station will have a portion of the utilities replaced to maintain service after the other buildings are removed.

2. REALIGN CRATER RIM DRIVE AND EXPAND ENTRANCE STATION TO IMPROVE VISITOR

SAFETY

Project Conditions: This portion of the project is generally located at the segment of Crater Rim Drive near the park Entrance Station.

Project Scope of Work: The project will realign Crater Rim Drive in the area of the park Entrance Station to improve visitor safety.

a. The intersection will be relocated and converted to a circular intersection and a section of Crater Rim

Drive will be realigned to meet the intersection. The section of Crater Rim Drive to be abandoned will be demolished and the soil restored in preparation for park staff to revegetate.

b. The entrance road will be widened with the addition of an administrative bypass lane entering the park and a formal pull-off exiting the park. Staff parking at the entrance station will be relocated.

3. REPLACE DAMAGED FIBER OPTIC LINE

Project Conditions: This portion of the project is generally located between the cell tower and the Visitor Emergency Operations Center, including service laterals and building connections for the administrative buildings, housing area, and entrance station.

Project Scope of Work: The project will replace approximately 8,710 feet of damaged and vulnerable fiber optic line serving the park’s administrative buildings with new fiber optic line in fiberglass conduit. The proposed backbone fiber optic will be aboveground and supported on precast concrete blocks or tube supports, except at roadway and walkway crossings or in public areas where it will be buried and encased concrete. The proposed fiber optic system includes all necessary junction boxes, handholes, patch panels, blackboards and associated appurtenances need to provide fiber optic service to the park’s administrative buildings. Approximately 4,300 linear feet is buried and 4,410 linear feet will be installed aboveground. The existing fiber optic system will be abandoned in place with some exceptions.

4. REPLACE FAILING WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Project Conditions: This portion of the project is generally located between the treated water storage tanks and the Visitor Emergency Operations Center.

Project Scope of Work: The project will abandon in place or remove approximately 4,100 lineal feet of existing 1”, 6” and 8” buried and above ground steel and copper pipe with valves, pipe supports and appurtenances. The existing pipe will be replaced with approximately 4,590 lineal feet of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), ductile iron pipe and fittings, copper pipe and service hose varying in diameter from 1”, 2”, 4”, 6” and 8”, with valves, concrete blocks, restraints, and appurtenances. Approximately 2,525 lineal feet is constructed above ground, and approximately 2,065 lineal feet is buried.

Project Conditions:

• The project is located at Hawaii Volcano National Park, HAVO 305150 / 315026

• The construction magnitude is “More than $10,000,000.00”.

• The surrounding area is primarily rural with limited area/space for staging.

• There are seasonal/other shutdowns mandated through the construction season.
