The contractor must provide 24-hour emergency repair capability and maintain constant radio communication with airport control tower personnel.

The estimated construction cost is $17 million to $22 million. The contract is subject to prevailing wage requirements and employment of Hawaii residents (minimum 80% of workforce). An apprenticeship preference providing a five percent bid adjustment applies to bidders party to apprenticeship agreements. Liquidated damages are $5,000 per calendar day for failure to complete within 307 calendar days, $20,000 per calendar day for failure to complete construction activities within 155 calendar days, and $20,000 per hour for delay in reopening the runway during overnight closures.
