The work is anticipated to be done in two phases such that work on the Sewer Collection System within
the community area anticipated to start in late 2012 or early 2013 with construction of the Wastewater
Treatment Plant anticipated to start in either the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2013.
• Please understand, however, that at this stage, anticipated start dates are very preliminary.
Should there be any comments or questions or should additional information be required please contact
me at 961 -8333 (Ihirota @co.hawaii.hi.us) or you may contact Ms. Dora Beck, P.E., Acting Director at
961 -8083 (cohdem @co.hawaii.hi.us).

Aloha Ms. Beck & Mr. Hirota,
Noted on Comm. 96.35, Change Order Report 6/1 — 6/15 for Contract C.001454, Project Naalehu and Pahala
Wastewater Collection & Treatment System, it show a change order amount of $239,483 for the purpose of
modifying the scope of work to relocate Wastewater Treatment Plant in Naalehu due to the identification of
significant archaeological sites in the area.
Is this amount for engineering purposes or does it include construction changes also? The increased amount is
not related to construction changes as construction has not begun. The Na'alehu project is currently in the
design stage so the modification to scope of work is to address design changes. Because the preliminary
archaeological study determined that the previously intended site was a former makahiki area, an alternative site
was required. The will result increased costs for:
1. Additional engineering services and additional land survey work due to the change in location.
2. increases in archaeological work including the addition of archaeological services during the construction
phase. Archaeological services during construction was added based on the identification of previously
unknown sites within the area.
3. Additional geotechnical work due to the identification of a fault line in the regional area during preliminary
geotechnical investigations.
Can you provide a map /diagram of the original location to the new site? The first attachment labeled as Exhibit A
shows the original site for the WWTP. The second attachment shows the approximate location of the alternate
area.
• The alternate area is significantly smaller and will require additional engineering work to modify the
design such that the new area can accommodate it.
• An archaeological survey, flora and fauna survey , and topographical survey of the alternate site have
been completed and the WWTP will be designed to avoid archaeological sites.
This item will be heard in Tuesdays Finance Committee on Tuesday, July 31st. I would appreciate a response by
7/31/2012
