SCOPE: Bowers + Kubota Consulting assessed implementation of complete streets concept designs in Kaneohe, Kailua, and Pearl City area as part of planned road rehabilitation projects in each area. The inter-disciplinary team was comprised of civil/transportation engineers, physical/site planners, urban designers, arborists, and landscape architects.
Initial tasks included evaluation of existing conditions through driving, walking and bicycling audits of each community; identifying the complete streets network based on land use and roadway configuration; and developing preliminary street cross-sections showing options for pedestrian walkways, bicycle lanes, shared pathways, and vehicular travel lanes. The project applied a context-sensitive solutions process, engaging stakeholders via outreach efforts, including community leader contact, social media outreach, bike tours, pop-up and sit-down sessions, distribution of project-specific collateral materials, and broadcast media coverage. Input from the community was combined with a multi-modal assessment of all transportation methods in each area and observations from the project team to prepare the complete streets proposals. Within each area unique conditions and parameters existed that called for specific solutions. Viable tools to develop complete streets were combined with sound urban design, physical planning and landscape architecture to arrive at best options. The results of the combined input were revealed at community meetings where concept plans were shown and additional feedback was provided.
B+K worked with the team to bring its collective experience together and bring a sensible approach to addressing the evolution of the project areas’ transportation networks, which was used to refine the street cross-sections and prepared concept plans for the proposed roadway improvements along with associated opinions of probable construction costs. B+K also assisted with the preparation ofExemption Declarations for the project pursuant to HRS Ch. 343.

SCOPE: Bowers + Kubota Consulting supported the City in developing portions of the Preferred Concept Master Plan for Ala Moana Regional Park (Ala Moana) and preparing its corresponding Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The goal of the master plan was to provide a planning framework allowing Ala Moana to become a multi-faceted beach park and even greater asset to the community.
The master plan evaluated the park’s existing conditions and identified areas of improvement including landscape features, infrastructure, parking and pathways, and the park’s iconic beach front. The 17 proposed improvement projects focused on addressing deferred maintenance to elevate the park’s existing facilities and address coastal erosion issues while respecting and celebrating the established character. As part of the master planning process, the B+K Planning Group prepared and published a final EIS analyzing the proposed improvements established in the master plan. As part of the environmental review process, the B+K Planning group investigated the project’s potential effects on the built and natural environments and provided mitigation measures to help minimize impacts pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statues, Chapter 343. This analysis included analyzing the need for beach nourishment and drainage canal improvements to address impacts from natural and climate change hazards like sea level rise. The EIS also analyzed the project’s compliance with relevant federal, state, and county land uses regulations and policies. To develop the alternatives in the master plan and EIS, a strong community engagement and outreach program was conducted to better understand the multi-generational impact of Ala Moana on the community. Multiple public, in-person informational meetings were held between 2015 and 2018 and a project website titled “Our Ala Moana Park” was launched to garner community feedback. Incorporating input from over 30,000 visitor interactions at the website, feedback from the in-person community meetings and consultation responses from the EIS resulted in the design alternatives presented in the master plan and EIS.
Additionally, during the community engagement process the master planning team was informed of more urgent actions needed at Ala Moana. This prompted the City to enact a 9-point plan to address these issues in parallel with the long-term master plan creating a holistic approach to improving the park long-term.

SCOPE: Bowers + Kubota Consulting provided master plan, EIS, and management plan services for Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park. The state considers the park as one of the most historically significant places in Hawaii. The park spans 216 acres on land in three adjacent areas (Napoopoo, Pali Kapu O Keoua, and Kaawaloa), 315 acres of waters of the adjacent Kealakekua Bay Marine Life Conservation District, and the Napoopoo pier. The primary project goal is to plan for a public park that preserves the area’s cultural landscape and historic resources, preserves and protects the marine resources of Kealakekua Bay, promotes the scenic values and natural park setting, and accommodates outdoor recreation in a manner that does not impact or degrade natural and cultural resources. A draft master plan was developed before the ocean resources became the responsibility of the State Parks Division. The draft master plan is being updated to include analysis of marine issues and ocean recreational activities. The revised master plan will promote preservation and stewardship, offer guidance in the development of park interpretive concepts and programs, identify park facility needs, and recommend park management measures for the land and the sea. Community input and collaboration have been integral to the planning process and will continue to be considered in developing management measures.

1. Keeps you informed
5
Comments: The entire team was very responsive. The
project was very complicated, and the team was able to
flex when needed. I was also very satisfied with their ability
and knowledge of the permitting and agency process. The
team was able to address high- and low-level concerns
raised by the agencies. An example of this was a cover
sheet included an "index/ cheat sheet" for the plan
reviewer so she could more efficiently navigate the large
set of drawings. I believe this was much appreciated by
the overwhelmed planning department.
Comments: Eric, Calvin and I talk often
2. Quality of Project Manager
Eric Tamashiro
5
2. Addresses problems and offers workable
solutions
5
Comments: I have worked continuously with Eric for 10
years! He is a measured and contemplative engineer. He
is a good listener and clearly breakdowns issues so the
owner and the design team can discuss decisions with focus and appropriate solutions. Eric communicates well
with his team agencies that keep the conversations on
point. He keeps the project moving and RFI/ responses/
revisions occurred timely. I also felt that our conversations
concerning budget or overruns were transparent and fair.
Comments: None of the team shrunk from any problem.
reasonable solutions were brought up from multiple different
team members. Sometime the contractor, sometimes the
user, and design team. The important take away is that all
were heard and felt comfortable sharing their ideas. At no
time, was someone's reasonable contributions was
dismissed off hand. The team, as a whole, was open to
critically thinking problems.
3. Treats you as an important team member
5
3. Seeks/incorporates your suggestions
5 Comments: I think it's fair to say that Eric and I have equal
respect for each other. We both pretty much stay in our
lanes and do our best to recognize each other's pain points
as part of the process to make the project successful.
Comments: Eric had very little choice in that matter. He
managed well.
4. Team is sufficiently staffed to meet your
needs 5
Section 4 – Timeliness
Comments: I never noticed a point where this project had a
staff issue. 1. Responds to your request in a timely fashion
5 5. Lives the B+K Core Values Superior Quality * Integrity * Teamwork
5
Comments: no issues
Comments: I typically don't give 5's or the highest marks on these types of surveys, but I'm not sure we could have
completed this project without this team. They all provided
their best, advocated for the project and worked together.
2. Reaches interim project goals on schedule
5
Section 2 – Technical Ability
Comments: Our goals on schedule for this project was not in
the hands of the design team for the most part. EXCEPT for
meeting our demo completion schedule. This again was the
joint effort by the entire team.
1. Professional/ethical approach to the work
5
3. Processes documents in a timely manner
5 Comments: Our conversations or actions never veered to
unethical practices. I believe that all who contributed on this project, inclusive of subcontractors and KS cultural,
contractors etc... behaved professionally and ethically.
Comments: I don't believe that we could have moved faster for submitting drawings or responding.
2. General technical knowledge
5
Section 5 – Value
Comments: As I read or participated in meeting with
agencies, I was impressed that the team was 1. Adheres to project budget 5
ready/knowledgeable/ prepared to respond to all the
comments. B+K was able to provide options or pivot or
respond appropriately.
3. Knowledge of the contract
5
Comments: All amendments to the contract were owner driven. For this particular project,
Comments: The contract scoped was amended multiple
times. It was a good think that the proposal was well defined. We did need to refer back to the amendments to
double check line-item cost. Although, the project took us
on many twists and turns, we were able to keep track of
what was included, not included and track costs.
2. Provides added value
5
4.Quality of response to documents 5
Comments: The added value was the depth of experience
we could pull from. Cheryl Palesh and other leaders within
the BCH and B+K team provided a concise view of a very
complicated project. The project never struggled for
competent expert review on a high level. I never
encountered a situation where we didn't have a decisive
path.
Comments: No issues. reasonable turn around time Section 6 – Overall
5. Knowledge and accuracy of estimating
4
1. Please rate the overall performance
5
Comments: Estimating some of these projects are hard as
the scope may shift. Having said that, the estimate or
proposal are very complete. Sometimes, the proposals are
more conservative than needed for every project.
However, one way we have navigating the unknown is to
phase the design contract. This way we can start
eliminating unknowns and not contracting for work where
the scope is unclear and that significantly impacts design
budget. Concurrently, B+K has assisted in wholistic
baseline cost on the conservative end to help with
budgeting. this way we can managed from both ends and
hopefully exceed expectations.
Comments: For complicated projects, this team was the
best. Considering the duration of the project and the
multiple changes in scope, I appreciated how and when
amendments were handled. As the owner PM, I
appreciated not being inundated with multiple minor amend
ments. We were able to bundle the changes and forecast
work so that invoicing/ scope was clear and comprehensive.
Also, during the covid lock down, the team also raised to the occasion switching to MS TEAMs meeting was seamless.
It's worthy to note that we had 100 OAC's and most of these
were done virtually.
6. Knowledge and accuracy of schedules
5
2. Would be your choice for future service
5 Comments: all documents are submitted on time. Comments: B+K would be my preference especially for
large and/ or complicated projects.
7. Ability to avoid or mitigate claims
