C. JOB NO. 2007 -043, CONSTRUCTION OF THE WAIKOLOA RESERVOIR NO. 2
EARTHOUAKE REPAIRS, COUNTY OF HAWAII, STATE OF HAWAII,
FEMA- 1644- DR -HI, FIPS NO. 001- UVKJ8 -00, PW NO. 638:
The contractor, Goodfellow Bros., Inc., has requested a 74 calendar -day time extension. This request
consists of additional time required to install geotextile fabric. The fabric installer had demobilized,
due to the need to test the material under similar conditions to the existing panels, to verify the required
geotextile thickness. The existing condition of the panels was a concern for the specialist that DWS's
consultant hired to inspect the installation of the hypalon liner. This geotextile fabric acts as a
protective padding under the waterproof hypalon liner. The specialist found that although the 16 oz.
material would be adequate, the hypalon will undergo heavy stress and in time experience some minor
failures. In the specialist's opinion, this would still be acceptable as far as leakage through the liner is
concerned. The consultant also performed the same test using a 32 oz. material and said that although
there may be some minor stress on the hypalon, they do not anticipate that the material would fail due
to these stresses. The consultant also concurred with the specialist that a second layer of 16 oz.
material would perform similar to that of the 32 oz. material. Therefore, it was agreed that DWS
would get a proposal from the installer that would be the most cost - effective, as well as the fastest to be
done, including delivery of the material.
It was determined that the second layer of 16 oz. material would be the most cost - effective as well as
the fastest to be done, since the material is already being manufactured and will be delivered to their
baseyard in Seattle by the end of July. Delivery date to the job site is slated for around the third week
of August.
The additional layer of the geotextile fabric, including the installation, will cost an additional
$137,305.73. The current available funds in the contingency are approximately $10,000.00. DWS
staff have reviewed the proposal and find it acceptable. Therefore, DWS is requesting that the Board
approve an additional $137,305.73 in contingency from the C.I.P. budget to allow the second layer of
geotextile material to be installed, for the reasons stated above.
Staff have reviewed the request and finds that the 74 calendar days are justified.
This is the sixth time extension request.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board approve a contract time extension to
Goodfellow Bros., Inc. of seventy -four (74) calendar days from August 16, 2010 to October 29, 2010,

Page 6 of 10 7 -27 -10 — Amended Agenda dms.doc
Pursuant to Chapter 54, Part III, Hawaii Revised Statutes, the Public Hearing today was held for the
purpose of hearing views and comments of all persons interested in the following proposals for
increases in the water rate schedules to be applied by the Department of Water Supply, County of
Hawaii, for all districts.
The water board has solicited public input on four proposed rate structures for general use and
agriculture use rates.
• OPTION "A" reflects graduated levels of annual rate increases for agriculture customers so
that by July 1, 2014, agriculture customers are paying their "cost of service."
• OPTION `B" makes no change to the current agriculture rate over a 5 year period. In order to
generate sufficient revenues for the Department, the 3rd and 4tn block rates for general use
customers are greater than in Option A.
• "CATTLEMEN'S OPTION" reflects a change in rate structure for agriculture customers from
1 consumption rate to 3 block rates. The first 2 blocks are the same as the first 2 blocks for
general use customers in Options "A" and `B." The 3rd block increases the current $0.85
agriculture rate by 2 cents on an annual basis.
• "MODIFIED CATTLEMEN'S OPTION" is similar to the "CATTLEMEN'S OPTION" except
that annual 3rd block rate increases correspond to the system -wide percentage rate increase.
Please be aware that these are alternative proposals. The Water Board may adopt one of the 4 proposals
or a different set of rates based on public input.
At its last meeting on June 15, 2010, the Water Board adopted Option B, which became effective
July 1, 2010.
OPTION A: PROPOSED GENERAL USE RATES (per 1,000 gallons)
In addition to standby and power cost charges, a consumption charge will be applied to all general use
customers.
