One Bidder for $33.4M Rail Contract

By /
Jim Dooley had a good story last night in the Hawaii Reporter revealing that InfraConsult scored another $33 million contract with no competition. That’s on top of previous consulting and management contracts with the rail project.

Here’s an excerpt:

Although the city sought competitive bids for the project management contract, only Infraconsult submitted an offer, according to the procurement posting.

The same thing happened the last time the city put the rapid transit management contract out for bid in 2009.

Only Infraconsult submitted an offer for that $36.7 million contract and city officials speculated then that other possible bidders felt they could not compete with Infraconsult for the work.
