Dear Ms. Kiyosaki:
Subject: Papaikou Sewerage System
Kaapoko Extension
Since investigating issues raised by County Councilman Dominic Yagong, we have made a number of
new discoveries. Therefore, we have reassessed our position on the proposed extension. Please dole
the following:
(l) The Cuunly must solicit bids for the proposed work for constructing the entire Kaapo]<o
extension (beyond the "seven lots" Peter Boucher inquired about). All RUS contract provisions
must be adhered to. You rrlus~ keep us informed of what your intentions are: sewer lines for
seven lots per your last communication. or construction of the entire Kaapoko extension.
(7.) T}le final Contract close-out should preferably occur by October 31, 1997, but in any
case not later than January 31, 1998.
In an independent discovery, our USDA Office of General Counsel in San Francisco advises that in the
event 4Yillocks Construction becomes the low bidder, you must clarify whether or not liayor Yarnashiro
is tied in with ownership of the company. Regulations prohibit bids fr•um the "governing body's
officers, employees. a~ agents."
]f you have questions, please call Ted K. Matsuo, Rural Utilities Program Director, at (808) 933-3009.
Sincerely,
FRANCIS J. BLANCO
State Director
