Summary

This is a Construction Specifications document for a federal demolition project at Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park (KAHO) in Hawaii. The work consists of demolishing and removing a composting toilet structure, accessible ramp, and associated appurtenances from the Aimakapa Fishpond site. The project includes removal of two Phoenix composting toilet chambers (assumed to contain composted human waste requiring 100% containment), appurtenances such as drums, blowers, fans, ducts, hoses, conduit, wire, controls, and panels, toilets and fixtures, sewer and ventilation pipes, wooden deck and ramp structures, restroom structure (approximately 10' x 10' x 12'), gutters and downspouts, and concrete foundations including multiple concrete piers (estimated 24 piers). The work will be executed under a single prime contract with lump sum payment (CLIN 00010). Special handling and disposal may be required for composting chambers, appurtenances, batteries, and fluorescent lamps. All debris must be disposed of at permitted solid waste landfills, with final cleanup by the contractor and site restoration by the park. The project is designated PMIS No. 340501 and is scheduled for March 2026.

The specifications establish extensive mitigation requirements due to the site's location on the historic Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail. All vehicles and heavy equipment must have rubber tires (no tracked equipment unless equipped with road pads), dump trucks are limited to 14,000 lbs gross weight with specific wheelbase and width restrictions, excavators are limited to 92 inches width and 20,000 lbs operating weight with rubber grouser pads, and equipment must remain within trail boundaries marked by rocks and logs. Heavy equipment must remain onsite during the entire demolition period to minimize trail traffic. Debris must be grabbed and loaded directly from the structure or off dunnage without being placed on the ground to prevent gouging lava rock surfaces. The historic trail will generally remain open to pedestrian use, and equipment may only turn around at the compost toilet site, not along the trail. Contractor must comply with extensive resource protection requirements including invasive species prevention and inspection protocols, threatened and endangered species protections, archaeological resource protection, noise limitations (75 dB(A) maximum at 50 feet for most equipment), and stormwater pollution prevention. Work hours are limited to daylight hours between 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project Location: Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park (KAHO), Hawaii.

B. Project Background: In 1993, a composting toilet structure with accessible ramp was constructed at the Aimakapa Fishpond site at Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park, Hawaii.

Since Covid-19 began, the mechanical components in the two (2) composting units have ceased to function. The toilet has since been closed to visitors, and the structure has degraded over time.

The park has determined that a composting toilet is no longer appropriate for this site. The park has decided to demolish and remove the composting toilet and appurtenances from the site. Refer to PART 1.2.C for the Project Scope of Work.

Note that the only overland access to/from the composting toilet at the Aimakapa Fishpond site is along the historic Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail (ALKA). The distance along this trail from the Honokōhau Small Boat Harbor Parking to the compost toilet site is approximately 1,200 linear feet. Certain mitigation requirements shall be followed during the Work. Refer to PART 1.2.D for the Project Mitigations.

C. Project Scope of Work: The Work consists of the following:

1. Demolish and remove the composting toilet structure, accessible ramp, and appurtenances from the Aimakapa Fishpond site at Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park to include:

KAHO #340501 SUMMARY OF WORK (01 11 00) Page 2 of 9

3.3 INVASIVE SPECIES INSPECTIONS

A. Inspections for Invasive Species: In order to prevent the spread of invasive species within the park and adjacent lands, NPS personnel from the park will perform inspections of vehicles, equipment, machinery, cutting tools, base yards, staging areas, materials, material packaging, material deliveries, material storage, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Please permit safe unfettered access to inspection sites or items being inspected for the NPS inspectors.

Inspections for invasive species may include the following:

1. NPS inspectors will perform visual inspections for signs of invasive weeds and plants;

invasive pests such coqui frogs and frog eggs, little fire ants (LFA), and insects including termites and coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB); other vertebrae species such as rats, mice, and reptiles; and mud and dirt that may carry Rapid ‛Ōhi‛a Death (ROD).

2. NPS inspectors will test vehicles, equipment, and machinery for little fire ants (LFA) by placing chopsticks baited with a dab of peanut butter for 30 minutes to 1 hour. About six

(6) chopsticks (baits) will be used to test personal vehicles and trucks. Larger vehicles, equipment, and machinery may require up to 10-20 baits. Baits will be placed in the shade, inside the cab, engine compartment, and truck bed if applicable. Please note that baits are only good for detection and do not control ants. Baits will not be left in the vehicle for more than 1 hour as this may attract ants from beyond the area of concern.

3. NPS inspectors may employ the same method of testing (as outlined above in G.2) on materials, material packaging, material deliveries, and material storage to include soil, aggregate, and rock material from quarries or source locations, temporary facilities and BMP items employed to manage surface water drainage and erosion.

4. Any LFA found will be collected, bagged, and labeled for identifications by NPS inspectors (or NPS partners) and the vehicle will not be allowed to enter the park until it is cleaned, sanitized, and re-tested following a minimum 48-hour resting period.

5. Infested vehicles will be sanitized following recommendations by the Hawaii Ant Lab (http://www.littlefireants.com) or other ant control expert and in accordance with all State http://www.littlefireants.com/

KAHO #340501 WORK RESTRICTIONS (01 11 40) Page 4 of 6 and Federal laws and baited with a granular or liquid insecticide bait prior to re-entry to the park. Control records will be required to confirm treatment. Treatment is the responsibility of the Contractor.

6. The park reserves the right to conduct additional tests for little fire ants (LFA) at any time during the project or require deployment of preventative granular or liquid insecticide baits.

7. Note that vehicles, equipment, machinery, and cutting tools previously used on the Big Island of Hawai’i will not be approved for entry into Haleakala National Park on Maui, and vice versa (items used on Maui will not be permitted into parks on the Big Island).
