Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole Courtyard Inflation Reduction Act Waterproofing and Concrete Replacement – Design-Build (DB) Services   3

Pre-Solicitation Notice for Solicitation 47PK0124R0017

1. Project Description

The Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole (PJKK) Federal Building and Courthouse in Honolulu, HI provides office space for the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii, the United States Attorney for the District of Hawaii, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Honolulu Division), the offices of Hawaii's U.S. Senators, the offices of Hawaii's U.S. Representatives for Hawaii's 1st congressional district and Hawaii's 2nd congressional district, and branch offices for the federal government. The lead agencies are U.S. Judicial Courts, US Marshals, US Coast Guard, and US Attorney. Other larger tenants include DHS-CBP and ICE, SSA, and Fish & Wildlife. Since this is the only federal building in Honolulu, there are about 60 different federal agency tenants covering both Hawaii and the Southern Pacific areas.

Over the past 40 years, the Courtyard at the PJKK Federal Building and Courthouse has experienced water infiltration from cracking of paving joints which has subjected the structural slab to corrosive action. During periods of heavy rain and high tide, flooding occurs at the Courtyard and at the basement level, presenting a threat to the subterranean electrical rooms.

This project provides upgrades to the existing paved exterior courtyard, infant/toddler playground, exterior stairway, and accessible ramp. The intent is to provide a complete waterproofing solution to eliminate leaks within the basement while improving the appearance of these public areas with an updated planter and landscaping design.

A Feasibility Study was completed in June 2017 and subsequently a Project Development Study was completed in April 2018. A Determination of Eligibility (DOE) report for Historic Property was completed in May 2023.

This project will be partially funded by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and includes installation of low embodied carbon (LEC) concrete paving, security walls, exit stair & ramp, and planter replacement at the courtyard. Associated necessary IRA scope includes design, demolition, new waterproofing membrane, and fountain dismantling and reinstallation after completion of waterproofing and concrete paving replacement. Non-IRA funding includes courtyard drainage, site lighting & controls, fences & gates, handrails at stair & ramp, irrigation, planting & landscaping, and replacement playground surfacing in the courtyard.

1. SUPPLEMENTAL PROJECT INFORMATION
