Bidders must submit Buy America certifications or certificates of noncompliance with corresponding FTA waivers, and all proposals must include pre-award certifications confirming FMVSS compliance and purchaser requirements verification. The contract is subject to federal civil rights laws, disadvantaged business enterprise program requirements, debarment and suspension provisions, and federal tax liability certifications.

Bidders must register and submit complete proposals through HIePRO; failure to upload the complete proposal to that system results in rejection. A virtual pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. HST, with interested bidders required to contact the Project Manager at least three calendar days in advance. Questions and substitution requests are due August 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. HST.

The State reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and waive defects in its best interest.
