Form #: B -52 7/18/91 DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DEPARTMENT: Dept of Environmental Management DATE: 2/16/10 STAFF CONTACT: Dora Beck PHONE: 961 -8028 A. REQUEST: Request to amend Ordinance 09 -65, Capital Improvement Budget, to add the following appropriation: North Kona Sewer — SRF $3,104,000 B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): A Project Data /Financial Impact Statement is attached. Installation of the Sewer Infrastructure in a portion of the Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway was initiated in early 2007 following a decision made by a private developer to pursue alternative methods for disposing wastewater for their project. Design and Construction of the infrastructure for the County is to be performed under the State of Hawai'i, Department of Transportation — Highway Division's (State DOT) Queen Ka'ahumanu Widening Project — Phase II which extends from Kealakehe Parkway to Keahole Airport. The State DOT has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for this design -build project and anticipates award of the project in March 2010. Funding for Design and Construction of the Sewer Infrastructure is needed no later than March 2010 so that the work can be included in the State DOT project. Installation of the infrastructure after completion of the State DOT project would result in significantly higher costs as well as result in a tremendous impact to traffic flow after the current highway widening project. This request is a re- appropriation of funds from the State Revolving Fund. We respectfully request that this bill be waived from the Council Finance Committee in order to ensure that the funding will be in place when the State DOT is ready to award the contract.
