7) NORTH KONA:
QUEEN KA‘AHUMANU HIGHWAY WIDENING, PHASE 2 – TRI-PARTY
A.
AGREEMENT:
At the February 25, 2014, Water Board meeting, the Board was informed that the Department of
Water Supply (DWS), the State Department of Transportation (DOT), and Goodfellow Brothers,
Inc. (GBI) were working on a Tri-Party Agreement for the redesign of the project.
The Tri-Party Agreement was done because DWS and GBI did not agree to the redesign costs of
the waterline resulting from the realignment of the highway. Based on our negotiations, DWS
and GBI agreed that the cost would be lowered substantially, if DWS basically provided a “red-
line” design to GBI, and work with them to incorporate that into the overall highway design.
The current proposal is for DWS to contribute $54,804.00 which would come out of the existing
contingency from the original contract.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Water Board approve the tri-party
agreement for $54,804.00, and that either the Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson be authorize to
sign the documents, subject to approval by Corporation Counsel.
