B25001095 Maui District Repair of Street Lighting and Electrical Systems

The State of Hawaii, specifically the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation, is soliciting bids for Job No. MA24-06, a comprehensive electrical and lighting repair contract covering various facilities on Maui Island. The procurement seeks a licensed electrical contractor (C-13 classification) to diagnose and repair street lighting and electrical systems at three small boat harbors (Maalaea, Lahaina, and Kahului) and three launch ramps (Mala, Kihei, and Hana). Key deliverables include two primary line items: street/area lighting work estimated at 150 hours annually across 10 projects, and electrical system repairs estimated at 480 hours annually across 16 projects. The contract term is 12 months from the notice to proceed, with potential for three additional 12-month extensions. Bidders must submit proposals through the State of Hawaii e-Procurement System (HIePRO) by December 13, 2024, and are strongly encouraged to conduct site visits prior to submission. Evaluation will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, determined by the sum of Line Items #1, #2, and #3, with a mandatory requirement that contractors bid on all line items.

The contract does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does require contractors to comply with Hawaii state laws regarding general excise tax, employment security, workers compensation, and other standard employment regulations. A Certificate of Vendor Compliance through Hawaii Compliance Express is mandatory for contract award. The procurement includes a fixed allowance of $100,000 for rental equipment, materials, unforeseen conditions, or additional projects, with contractors required to provide hourly rates for contractor-owned equipment. The State is not obligated to utilize the full budgeted amount and will assign projects as needed. Minimum performance requirements stipulate that at least 20% of work must be performed by the primary contractor. Liquidated damages of $50 per calendar day will be assessed for late completion, and bid security is required through various acceptable instruments not exceeding $100,000 each. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive line-item structure and $100,000 fixed allowance suggest a potential total contract value in the range of $250,000 to $500,000 depending on actual project needs and utilization.
