RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS (11/10/2026)

1. Question: Will the Navy load the contractor’s roll-off bins, or should we include labor to load the material? If the Navy loads the bins, will steel-reinforced hoses be kept separate or mixed with the other material?
Response: Yes, Navy will load the bins that the contractors will provide us. We would like to have 2 bins to keep the steel-reinforced hoses separate from the other rubber. 2. Question: If the hoses need cutting or metal removal before disposal, can that work be done at the shipyard before loading, or must we haul the material off-site for processing? If on-site work is allowed, will a work area be provided?
Response: We would like to turn in the bins with the hoses uncut and have the contractor take it off yard to cut if the hoses are required to be cut for disposal. 3. Question: Can a hauling contractor bid as the prime using third-party disposal facilities? Does the prime need to hold the Hawaiʻi DOH Solid Waste Management Permit directly, and can H-POWER qualify as a primary or backup facility for material it accepts?
Response: TPOC is unsure who the third-party disposal facilities are? The Prime contractor should have a good understanding of the disposal process and requirements for HPWR and PVT. H-Power can be used as a primary and backup facility for materials they will accept. If PVT and HPWR will not take the hoses…yes, we would like to have the contractor use a third-party disposal facility. 4. Question: PWS 6.1 requires the Contractor to hold a Hawaii DOH Solid Waste Management Permit. Would the requirement be met if the permit is held by our transportation/disposal subcontractor and the disposal facility, rather than by the prime contractor? Response: The Prime contractor shall hold Hawaii DOH Solid Waste Management and all associated Permits.
5. Is there a preferred bin or dump trailer type and size, and how many bins should be kept on site at any one time?
Response: The customer would like 2ea. 40 yard rolloffs. The smaller sizes lose packing space due to a u shape in the trailer rather than a squared off bottom.
6. Is there a deadline for questions, and has any amendment been issued? Response: Questions are due by 11/10/2026 8:00 AM HST.
