Prepared by National Park Services (NPS) Pacific Western Region (PWR) – Interior Region 12

1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Kalaupapa National Historical Park (NPS) is located in an isolated setting midway along the north shore of the island of Molokai, in the State of Hawaii. The peninsula is a comparatively flat plateau of lava about 2¼ miles wide, projecting out from a 2,000-foot sea cliff which is accessible by a 3⅛ mile foot trail that traverses on the side of a steep cliff, using a small 9-seater commercial aircraft, or by a small ocean vessel. Kalaupapa National Historical Park is unique among units of the National Park system because the Park is still home to an active community of Hansen’s disease patients, whose right to privacy and respect are strictly upheld.

The NPS has a requirement for a service provider to properly manifest, transport and dispose of wastes generated in Kalaupapa, Molokai. The Contractor agrees to provide all services necessary for the universal waste manifest, transportation, final treatment, disposal, and/or recycling of the items listed in the schedule in accordance with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations, and the terms and conditions of this contract.
