Although this solicitation will be posted on the State Procurement Office’s website for wider dissemination, this request for proposals is not subject to the provisions of Chapter 103D, HRS. Selection will be based on the Comparative Evaluation Criteria listed in section 6.

The Sheep Station is located approximately 0.8 miles north of the Saddle Road/Mauna Kea Summit Road intersection. Attendance at the pre-proposal conference is not required, but is encouraged. Following a brief project introduction meeting, a site visit to the koa salvage project area will be conducted. A four-wheel drive vehicle is necessary and travel time to the project site from the Sheep Station is approximately 1 hour.

Written proposals must be received by DHHL no later than 4:30 p.m. on June 16, 2014. Proposals shall be sealed and clearly marked “Piha Mauka Salvage Sale Unit 3” on the outside so that proposals are not opened prior to the above deadline.
