Our firm brings a deep bench of expertise, a diverse portfolio of projects both large and small and a level of experience unmatched by most other Hawai‘i-based firms. HHF’s leadership and staff offer a wide range of perspectives and technical capabilities, particularly in the development of functional plans, infrastructure implementation strategies, and community-based design concepts. In addition to our work throughout Hawai‘i, we have extensive experience supporting the Navy, Marine Corps, Army Corps, and Joint Command elements across the Pacific Region through environmental and facilities planning services. 13 Explain firm’s individual project assignment, project management structure, project execution (work flow and responsibilities) and quality control process.

Dane Sjoblom and John Hagihara will provide Principal-level support. Specific Project Managers are selected for assignments based on their expertise, proximity to the specific site, and knowledge of the associated area. These individuals remain committed to the project throughout its life cycle. While the Principal is the single POC for contractual matters, each HHF Project Manager/Assocaite will serve as the single POC on task orders. These connections will expedite workflow. Staff Planners and Quality Assurance/ Quality Control (QA/QC) staff will be selected based on the nature of the assignment. With 45 years of experience in planning project delivery, HHF has developed strong capabilities in managing diverse projects across various sectors. Our flexible organizational structure ensures efficiency, quick responsiveness to fluctuating workloads, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. HHF’s comprehensive management approach integrates all key project management principles—scope, quality, safety, schedule, cost, procurement, human resources, and communication—ensuring we consistently meet project and contract goals while maintaining the highest standards of service for the County of Hawai’i DEMOSTRATED ASSIGNMENT AND MANAGEMENT Ability Project Principal -in-Charge Principal Senior Associatee Staff Planner Project Assignment Workflow Timely identification of problems during all phases of project performance and communication (with recommendations for corrective action) to appropriate stakeholders of technical, regulatory, quality, safety, cost, and schedule issues. HHF’s philosophy is to be communicative and proactive in solving problems. Early deployment of an integrated Project Delivery Team Deployment of clear performance objectives, including cost, schedule, safety, and quality that are consistently applied throughout the project HHF’s project management approach is based on consistent application of four basic principles: Continuity of assignment of key personnel throughout the project life cycle HHF maintains detailed project schedules (e.g., with the use of Microsoft Project) and regularly reviews project accounting information to provide cost control. For each project a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)—consistent with scope and budget source—is developed to organize the project into elements that effectively facilitate tracking of progress, cost, and schedule. Budget is allocated over the WBS and Project Task structure and cost authorizations and expenditures are controlled at the Project Task level. This yields a schedule of budgeted costs and a baseline for subsequent comparison to actual progress and cost. The key to successful cost control is early detection of cost or schedule variances, while corrective action is still possible, through diligent tracking of costs incurred, costs committed, deliverables completed, and projections of cost at completion. Project Managers are responsible for developing and updating the project schedule, coordinating with County of Hawai’i , and planning resources needed to keep the project on schedule. HHF holds monthly project manager meetings and weekly staff meetings to ensure all projects are resourced to the level required to meet project milestones. Cost control is accomplished through proper up-front planning, regular monitoring of financial reports by the Principal-in-Charge and the Project Managers, and then follow-up action. Labor effort is logged daily and input into electronic timesheets. The management staff is able to access financial information on a daily basis. 16 HHF’s team, led by the Principal, will work closely with HHFDC to set goals, exchange information, identify potential problems, propose effective solutions, develop responsive schedules, establish program standard operating procedures, assure resource availability, and share ideas on innovative and cost-effective means to support the client. HHF’s experience successfully executing planning projects has produced a Program/Project Management Team that focuses on: Simple program/project organization with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and authorities Corporate commitment and participation from the highest levels of our management Project control systems for monitoring and forecasting costs and schedules, with a proactive approach to correcting variances Quality and safety control systems that provide the level of quality our clients expect, and protect the health of our employees, client, installation personnel, and the surrounding community Standard operating procedures that conform to the needs of our client The supervising Principal-in-Charge assigns each new project to a Project Manager, who holds primary responsibility for day-to-day project management, coordination with stakeholders and client interface. HHF also has other Principals of the firm that can assist as Deputy Principal-in-Charge if needed. The supervising Principal-in-Charge regularly monitors and reviews project status with the Project Manager, evaluating progress and overall quality of work. The Project Manager conducts work tasks and manages additional staff assigned to assist on a project. HHF’s Principal-in-Charge and Project Manager would be the primary points of contact. However, the HHF point-of-contact for daily coordination with County of Hawai’i will be the Project Manager. HHF’S QUALITY MANAGEMENT APPROACH IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT OUR TEAM IS AN ACCOUNTABLE, FUNCTIONAL, AND IN-DEPTH EXTENSION OF OUR CLIENT, AND WILL REMAIN A SUPPORTING PARTNER FOR THE DURATION OF THE PROJECT OR CONTRACT. Quality Management 17 Approach 18 HHF Quality Control Process C OMMUNITY PLANNING Community planning and consultation is an important element of all projects, and HHF’s staff is well qualified to undertake all aspects of such consultations. This includes conducting public informational meetings, preparations for public hearings, neighborhood boards or smaller presentations, and working with citizen’s advisory groups and stakeholders. Participatory planning is a theme that runs through most of HHF’s community-based planning work. Each project requires an approach that meets the unique needs and characteristics of the resident community to ensure appropriate public disclosure and broad-based community input. Techniques involve a variety of participatory tools to solicit meaningful public contributions, including: project websites, interactive online maps, social media, surveys, charrettes, sub-regional workshops and presentations, affinity groups, personal interviews, and small-group meetings. Presentations and informational documents are thoroughly illustrated to provide the public with intuitive and user-friendly project descriptions.

MASTER PLANNING SITE PLANNING LAND USE PLANNING ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING COMMUNITY-BASED PLANNING LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE HHF Planners (HHF) led a project team to develop a master plan for the Hanalei Black Pot Beach Park, which includes the existing beach park and additional parcels, in support of the planned expansion of the park by the County of Kaua‘i, Department of Parks and Recreation. Black Pot Beach Park is located on Hanalei Bay, adjacent to the iconic Hanalei Pier and Hanalei River. It is arguably one of the most scenic locations in Hawai�i, attracting visitors from all over the world, as well as providing one of the touchstone recreation spots and gathering places for residents of Hanalei and the North Shore of Kaua�i. Surfers, kayakers, stand-up paddlers, swimmers, fishermen, runners, walkers, and sailors gravitate to Black Pot, making it one of the most heavily used beach parks in the State. HHF’s approach to the implementation of the project was heavily influenced by an aggressive community outreach program, including a Citizen’s Advisory Committee (CAC), focus group meetings, and larger community meetings. The participants on the CAC and the focus groups include a diverse representation of stakeholders that include recreational users, fishermen, canoe clubs, Native Hawaiian groups, landowners, and others. The uniqueness of the Hanalei community required inclusion of as many viewpoints as possible when considering the elements of the master plan. In addition to the effort to reach community members with a mix of in-person meeting opportunities, HHF developed a project website, Facebook page, and a virtual open house to provide background information, work products, and the opportunity for residents to comment on the project. The preferred planning alternative – which was completed before an unprecedented, catastrophic flood event in April 2018 decimated portions of the beach park — was instrumental to the County’s swift response efforts to rebuild and implement $6 million of improvements as part of the recovery effort. The HHF-led project team consisted of civil engineers and surveyors, archaeological consultants, landscape architects, planners and a local community liaison.

TRANSPORTATION PLANNING The University of Hawai‘i (UH) was awarded a grant from the State Office of Planning (OP) to explore Transit Oriented Development (TOD) options at Honolulu Community College (HCC), one of three “catalytic zones” along Honolulu’s planned rail system identified by OP for assessment. The report explores TOD options on the HCC campus as appropriate and aligned with HCC’s mission. The Kapālama rail station is planned at the corner of the HCC campus at Kōkea Street and Dillingham Boulevard. The planning process has included engagement with OP, UH Systems, UH Community Colleges, HCC and its leadership on various future options. Research and analysis was conducted on various factors which may influence short- and long-term development on the HCC campus. These include but were not limited to: possible construction disruptions during rail construction, Kapālama Canal improvements, City TOD plans, area infrastructure issues, HCC issues, and current development outlook and potential. Utilizing this input, HHF Planners has formulated various future development options to consider on the HCC campus in view of its important role in TOD. The study includes a Phase 1 recommendation to construct a plaza linking the Kapālama Station with the campus promenade. This could be a relatively low-cost interim use to create a gathering place and provide HCC with revenue enhancement opportunities through pop-up vendors and programmed entertainment. In the longer term, as the neighboring Kapālama community transitions to higher density mixed-use, the TOD study shows notional higher-density mixed-use development options on the HCC campus. The study also discussed public private partnerships as an alternative means of project delivery, operation and maintenance. Client University of Hawai‘i Completed 2019 Kapālama, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i HHF Planners (HHF) completed the O‘ahu Bicycle Master Plan Update for the City and County of Honolulu Department of TransportaƟ on Services. The document covers the enƟ re island of O‘ahu, addressing islandwide bikeway connecƟ vity, safety, convenience, and bike facility integraƟ on with the City’s planned transit system. This update to the plan is focused on increasing bicycle ridership by implemenƟ ng a network of low-stress bicycle faciliƟ es that appeal to potenƟ al riders of all ages and abiliƟ es.To idenƟ fy specifi c problem areas as well as opportuniƟ es to increase connecƟ vity, HHF completed a bicycle level of traffi c stress (LTS) analysis for the enƟ re exisƟ ng and proposed bicycle network on the island. The LTS analysis allowed for an objecƟ ve evaluaƟ on of the level of protecƟ on that would be required to make a facility comfortable to the general public.Another key aspect of the current update is to modernize the types of bicycle faciliƟ es that are idenƟ fi ed and proposed in the plan. There has been signifi cant advancements in bikeway design since the previous plan so HHF+TDG developed a typical facility design guide that outlines facility selecƟ on criteria as well as design guidance for the full range of bicycle faciliƟ es along roadway segments and at intersecƟ ons.Community engagement was a criƟ cal aspect of the plan, and HHF conducted a variety of engagement eff orts aimed at gathering input from a wide range of island residents. HHF held a series of public meeƟ ngs around O‘ahu, and each meeƟ ng was live streamed to the City’s Bicycle Program Facebook page. AddiƟ onally, a web survey and crowdsourcing web map were posted to the project website to allow the public to idenƟ fy their issues and proposed soluƟ on for O‘ahu’s bicycle network.

In addition to infrastructure vulnerabilities associated with environmental factors, social characteristics that influence community resilience to climate related hazards were analyzed to inform mitigation project needs and considerations. Summary of Study Objectives •Inventory of American Samoa public harbors, airports, andterritorial highway program roadways. •Engagement of relevant stakeholders in the inventory andevaluation process. •Development of vulnerability indices to evaluate transportationassets and priorities. •Identification of priority assets and development of conceptualadaptation strategies for each. •Geospatial documentation of infrastructure vulnerabilityevaluation through development of a Geographic InformationSystem geodatabase. Village-specific assessments in high-risk areas were also conducted using coastal erosion and relative sea level change data to estimate exposure levels and calculate quantities of developable land that may be lost to sea level rise. The process included development of a conceptual framework and resulting vulnerability metrics, and the creation of geospatial data products that can contribute to further analysis of potential climate related impacts on transportation infrastructure and village residents throughout the Territory. Rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost estimates were prepared for the adaptation concepts developed in collaboration with stakeholder working groups, that could be applied beyond the focus areas assessed in the study.

Keʻeaumoku Street provides an important mauka-makai connection for the Makiki and Ala Moana neighborhoods, and the future Honolulu Rail Transit Station. The purpose of the project is to transform Keʻeaumoku into a complete street, with a street design that balances the needs of people of all ages and abilities whether they are walking, using a wheelchair, riding a bike, riding transit, or in a car. HHF conducted extensive community outreach to businesses and stakeholders along the corridor, as well as an online questionnaire and online community map which generated over 500 responses from the community. This community input, along with detailed traffic studies and multimodal transportation analyses, informed the development of two alternative street design concepts. These concepts were presented to the public via an interactive virtual public meeting. The input received on the design concepts informed the selection of the preferred design concept for the corridor which will move forward for detailed design and implementation. This comprehensive planning process will ensure that Keʻeaumoku Street becomes a street that is safe and comfortable for all users, regardless of their preferred mode of travel.

HHF Planners (HHF) completed design guidelines for Kamehameha Schools’ lands at Keauhou Bay on Hawai‘i Island’s North Kona coast. The small bay is well known as the birth site of Kauikeauoli, Kamehameha III, a former king of Hawai‘i significant for his royal lineage and for his governance and support of education of the Hawaiian people during the early 19th century. Working closely with Kamehameha Schools and drawing from previous work on an award-winning cultural landscape study of Keauhou Bay, HHF established landscape design criteria to maintain and enhance the historic character of the indigenous and vernacular landscape, accommodate a wide variety of users, and create a cohesive identity. The guidelines specifically addressed the following categories: gathering spaces, destination points, and view planes; cultural and natural resource protection and restoration; circulation; landscape design and maintenance; architectural design and character, site furnishings; and signage. These standards for redevelopment of the bayfront will support the long-term goal of Kamehameha Schools which is to promote, preserve, and protect the bay’s heritage while improving its economic sustainability.
