Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge Lighthouse Lantern Repairs - Construction

STATEMENT OF WORK

Kīlauea Point, HI

Revised July 29, 2024

1. GENERAL

Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge is located on the northern-most point of the main Hawaiian Islands on a portion of the former Kīlauea volcanic vent and includes spectacular views from atop a 180-foot ocean bluff.

The Refuge is the best places in the state to view seabirds rarely seen from land, like the red-footed booby (ʻā in Hawaiian), great frigate bird ('iwa), and Laysan albatross (mōlī). The world's rarest goose and Hawai'i's state bird, the Hawaiian goose (nēnē) is a frequent sight as well. Visitors also have a chance to view spinner dolphins (nai‘a), Hawaiian monk seals (‘Ilio holo i ka uaua), green sea turtles (honu), and humpback whales (koholā, October - April) in the water below. Native Hawaiian coastal plants are also abundant.

The Refuge is home to the Daniel K. Inouye Kīlauea Point Lighthouse, whose 2nd order bivalve Fresnel lens lit the way for seafarers. The lighthouse is part of the Kīlauea Point Light Station, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The lighthouse played a key role in the first trans-Pacific flight from the West Coast to Hawaii and has been part of Kaua'i's history since its completion in 1913.

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is in need of specialty construction services to repair and restore several defects causing leaks at the lantern. The scope of work includes removal of the delicate lens from the lantern to protect the rare and valuable historic artifact.

2. BACKGROUND

The Kilauea Lighthouse was extensively renovated in 2016. The winter storms of 2020 and 2021 battered the lighthouse and leaks and corrosion have developed. In 2023, the FWS performed a detailed investigation of the issues and has developed a repair and restoration scope of work. This solicitation requests proposals to perform this scope of work at the Kilauea Point Lighthouse. Note that respect for, understanding of, and experience with renovations of historic lighthouses and particularly Fresnel lenses are paramount requirements for any contractor working at the lighthouse.

The Treatment Plan included with the attachments of this solicitation provide detailed specifications as well as drawings for the work. The contractor selected for this project shall provide a treatment plan for the project work that aligns with the goals of the provided treatment plan. Alternative technical concepts that may result in savings or improved performance shall be submitted to the COR for review.
