B19001517 Port Allen Small Boat Harbor New Harbor Office

The State of Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation, is soliciting bids for Job No. KA18-02, a construction project located at Port Allen Small Boat Harbor in Eleele, Kauai County. The procurement involves constructing a new 14' x 44' (616 square foot) wooden framed harbor office building with specific technical requirements including concrete footing, stairs, water and sanitary piping, HVAC system, and electrical work. Bidders must possess a valid State Contractor's license, classification "B", and comply with Hawaii Revised Statutes 103D-310(c) requirements, including providing tax clearance and labor compliance documentation. The project requires furnishing all materials, tools, equipment, and labor necessary to complete the construction, with an estimated construction cost of $245,000.00. The bid submission deadline was originally set for April 26, 2019, through the State's e-Procurement system, with a required project completion timeline of 90 calendar days from the written notice to proceed. Evaluation will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with consideration given to Hawaii Products Preference and Recycled Products Preference.

The contract opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it does include provisions for Hawaii product and recycled product preferences. Bidders will be required to provide performance and payment bonds each equal to the total contract price. The contract award is contingent upon available funding, and the DLNR reserves the right to delete or modify bid items to stay within budget constraints. Liquidated damages will be assessed for failure to complete the project by the specified completion date. The project will be administered directly by the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation, with no indication of incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requiring integration. While a pre-bid conference was not scheduled, bidders were strongly encouraged to conduct a site visit. The contract appears to be a single, fixed-term project with no mentioned renewal options, focused specifically on constructing a new harbor office building at the Port Allen Small Boat Harbor.
