Chair Maedo asked whether the developer would sell or gift the property <br />to the County. <br />Mr. AhYo replied that the developer would be gifting the property. <br /> Pahoa Fire Station: Although the Fire Department intends to get a <br />· <br />contract out for construction by the end of the fiscal year, a problem has <br />arisen with the entrance onto the highway. In anticipation of the Police <br />Department developing a substation on the property, and the Department <br />of Parks and Recreation developing a gymnasium and a ball field, the <br />State€s Department of Transportation requested a channelized intersection <br />for the entire property. At the present time, the Fire Department does not <br />warrant a channelized intersection because there will be a change of shift <br />with eight personnel and it is not a high volume intersection. In order not <br />to have this issue affect the project, the Fire Department will be working <br />withtheStatetodelaythedevelopmentofthechannelizedintersection. <br /> Fire Administration & Support Facility: The draft of the floor plans for the <br />· <br />third portion of the complex (the Training building) has been completed <br />and sent out for comments by the respective division. <br /> Central Fire Station: The Mayor€s Office has requested a survey of the <br />· <br />property. Therefore, the HCFD has requested this information from the <br />Department of Public Works and is awaiting a response. <br /> Central Fire Station-Retrofit Project: Last month the department <br />· <br />advertised for bids. In response to that, no bids were received for this <br />project. Therefore, the department will be readvertising for bids. <br />Commissioner Kudlo asked whether the septic tank issue at the Pahoa <br />Fire Station was resolved. <br />Mr. AhYo replied that it was resolved. <br />Commissioner Browne questioned why there were no bids for the Central <br />Fire Station€s Retrofit project. <br />Mr. AhYo responded that the construction industry is extremely busy and <br />there is some reluctance to take on work that deals with repairs and <br />renovations. At this time, the construction companies are able to pick and <br />choose jobs. <br />Commissioner Kudlo questioned whether the bids were offered statewide. <br />Mr. AhYo replied that he believes that it is advertised locally. <br />Chair Maedo stated that potential vendors in the government system <br />would need to be preapproved and placed on a vendor list. <br />4 <br /> <br />
