The State of Hawaii's Agribusiness Development Corporation (ADC) is seeking a qualified land use planning consultant to provide technical assistance for developing cost-sharing agreements under the Department of Defense's Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) Program. The contract, identified as Q24001573, will focus on agricultural lands in Wahiawa, Oahu, specifically targeting Tax Map Keys (1)6-4-004-006 and (1)6-4-004-008. The selected consultant must have a minimum of 5 years of land use planning experience and currently possess a valid Encroachment Partnering Agreement with a Military Service. Primary deliverables include crafting restrictive use easements, conducting due diligence, performing appraisals, and preparing transaction documentation for potential land easement transfers to a federal agency. The procurement is structured as an on-demand, time-and-materials contract with task orders to be issued by ADC on an as-needed basis. Proposals are due by March 5, 2024, with the contract opportunity originally posted on February 13, 2024, through Honolulu County's procurement system.

The contract does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Compensation will be based on time and materials costs, though specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be open to consulting firms with demonstrated expertise in land use planning, particularly those with established relationships with military services. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the solicitation materials. The contract will require integration with existing DOD REPI Program infrastructure and potentially involve collaboration with multiple government entities, including the U.S. Department of Defense and local Hawaiian agricultural development authorities. While precise award values are not specified, the scope suggests a potentially significant engagement focused on preserving military missions, addressing environmental restrictions, and increasing regional resilience through strategic land use planning and easement management.
