NUUANU, KALIHI SEWER ADA PROJECT AWARDED

(Wednesday, July, 14, 2010) – Mayor Mufi Hannemann announced today that the City will begin construction of ADA improvements to driveways and curbs affected by the sewer rehabilitation work in the Kalihi/Nuuanu area.

“We are fulfilling our promise to repair our long-neglected sewer system and waste water treatment plants with these major capital investments,” Hannemann said.  “The money we collect in sewer fees goes exclusively to these projects, and we will continue to devote our resources to improving our infrastructure.”

RMY Construction, Inc., the low bidder at $554,795, will begin construction in the next few months.  The design consultant is HDR/Hawaii Pacific Engineers, Inc.  Work is expected to take one year to complete.

Due to time constraints, the ADA improvements were not included in the original Kalihi/Nuuanu sewer rehabilitation phases.
