Description
The U.S. Army is seeking a private sector partner to acquire, operate, maintain, and upgrade the water‑distribution system serving the U.S. Army Garrison‑Hawaii on Oahu. The contractor will become the owner of the water utility, assume all responsibilities for service continuity, emergency response, sub‑metering, compliance, and long‑term capital renewal over a 50‑year performance period. The award will be a negotiated RFP with two pricing options (tariff‑based or fixed‑price with economic adjustments). The effort includes a mandatory transition phase, extensive reporting, and strict cyber‑ and environmental requirements.
• Acquire ownership of the existing water‑utility infrastructure via Bill of Sale and assume full operational risk.
• Provide 24/7 water service, sub‑metering, emergency response, and a 50‑year renewal‑and‑replacement plan.
• Deliver detailed O&M, quality‑management, and contingency‑loss plans, and comply with federal, state, and local regulations (AWWA, NFPA, NIST 800‑171, etc.).
