KA`AHUMANU HIGHWAY WIDENING, PHASE 2):
Memorandum of Understanding No. 2088 (MOU 2088) was entered into between the Water
Board and the State Department of Transportation on October 28, 2010. The Department of
Water Supply subsequently submitted a check for $3,444,000.00, to the State, to cover the design
and construction of the subject project, of which, $164,000.00 was intended for contingencies.
The project has since been delayed due to permitting issues beyond the control of the contractor.
Therefore, the contractor has submitted proposals for price escalation costs for materials, labor
and equipment in the amount of $244,240.00.
The State has agreed to give the Department a credit of $50,242.23 for the interest earned on the
funds that were deposited with the State. This would result in a net increase of $193,997.77 in
cost to the Department. Therefore, it is proposed that an Amendment to MOU 2088 be executed,
to increase the Department's overall cost on the project from $3,444,000.00 to $3,637,997.77.
Staff has reviewed the cost proposals, and the Amendment to MOU 2088 and finds it acceptable.
