Ms. Akiyama: Wailuku Drive. <br /> Mr. Robinson: Wailuku Drive. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Mr. Adams? <br /> Mr. Adams: I would just make a comment that I have used Haraga in the past, <br /> but I don't feel the need to recuse. It was a one-time deal and not <br /> in association with having to do with anything with this particular <br /> petition. If I could as a questions. How does the office choose the <br /> lock smiths when you need to use a locksmith? <br /> Ms. Akiyama: What we normally do is when we determine that we need the <br /> service. We will call three vendors, get a price and depending on <br /> the specifications of what we're looking for. You know the <br /> tendency is we will go to the lowest price, but there have been <br /> situations where it could've been the lowest, but the locksmith was <br /> not available in the timing that we need. Sometimes it's for our <br /> office purposes. Sometimes it's for some of the housing facilities <br /> that we run. So timing becomes an issue. So we look at all of that <br /> criteria I guess and then we make a determination. <br /> Mr. Adams: If I could just continue the conversation. When you say that you <br /> go out... are these vendors part of a vendor list that you maintain? <br /> Or? <br /> Ms. Akiyama: No it's not. <br /> Mr. Adams: So this is a request for proposal. It's an invitation for bid or <br /> request for proposal? Request for proposals for these then? <br /> Ms. Akiyama: It's not even categorized as that because it's under a thousand <br /> dollars. <br /> Mr. Adams: Okay. <br /> Ms. Akiyama: So it doesn't even enter into that professional services list. <br /> Mr. Adams: So what would it be called under the procurement. Do you know? <br /> Ms. Akiyama: I don't know. <br /> Mr. Adams: Counsel do we have any idea? <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: I believe it would be a small purchase under a thousand dollars. <br /> 19 <br />
