n their most recent 2012 reports, both Dr. Leroy Laney, economic advisor for First Hawaiian Bank, and UHERO (University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization) downgraded their forecasts, found on pages 60 and 58, respectively. “Hawaii’s recovery process is tenuous and far from complete,” states UHERO. “Our forecast is for gains as we move into 2012, but not at a pace that will lead to rapid improvement in economic conditions.” Laney asserts, “Hawaii’s outlook for 2012 is likely to be somewhat more downbeat than was envisioned just a few months ago.” But while the much anticipated turnaround remains elusive most forecasts predict slight growth or, at the very least, some stability. Much of it will be in the public sector. Despite budget woes, federal, state and even county agencies will likely still be the largest sources of work in 2012. “In these lean fiscal times it’s great to be able to offer good news on our construction/contracting, energy and

small business efforts in Hawaii for …2012,” says Capt. John Coronado, commanding office of Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii. He goes on to state that 2011 was a record workload year, anticipating similar volume of work for 2012. Through Lend Lease, $206 million in contracts is scheduled to be awarded at the Island Palm Communities project for the Army in 2012, and changes to its development scope have resulted in potentially $1.1 billion in work through 2020. If you look closely at the state Department of Transportation project lists, starting on page 67, the agency potentially has more than $350 million in projects expected to be out to bid this year. Not to be outdone, the counties, through various strategies, anticipate funding a variety of construction projects, ranging from expansions of wastewater treatment plants and roadwork to energy-efficiency retrofits. All in all, the worst seems to be over, and most anticipate the beginnings of forward momentum.

Shovel-Ready Projects Will Have Immediate Impact By Neil Abercrombie, Governor State of Hawaii

I

n this New Year, we are moving forward with focus on continuing to turn the corner on our economy. Despite a worldwide economic climate that has put other states and entire countries on the brink of financial collapse, the State of Hawaii has managed to balance its 2011 checkbook and set the stage for growth in the New Year. The construction industry will help lead the charge in terms of reinvigorating our islands’ economy and job creation. Last month, my administration submitted a balanced budget that seeks to achieve a healthy surplus, incorporates savings achieved through solid fiscal management, funds highpriority programs, and does not rely upon any tax increases. This budget includes additional Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) that address critical infrastructure needs, are shovel-ready and will provide the most immediate impact and job creation. It is important to point out that these projects are in line with President Barack Obama’s priorities – creating jobs through modernizing infrastructure and investing in people – which create opportunities for our state to take advantage of opportunities for federal funding. One year ago, we learned that the state was in dire need of getting its finances in order. We have stayed the course by being fiscally disciplined and holding to clear, decisive objectives. We refused to flinch in the face of tough decisions and even garnering criticism for those hard choices. Now, we have turned the corner. Investors have taken notice and rating agencies are affirming that our state’s “financial management is sound.” We have a clear understanding of our finances and have established unprecedented collaboration to initiate projects that will grow a sustainable economy and invest in the people of Hawaii. We are working in cooperation with the private sector to establish public 8 CONSTRUCTION PREVIEW 2012

private partnerships to move the New Day agenda forward. In addition to education, one of our top priorities is investing in renewable energy. Our administration is already working with private sector partners to help the state fulfill the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative’s goal of achieving 70 percent clean energy by 2030. In December, the Department of Education

The construction industry will help lead the charge in terms of reinvigorating our islands’ economy and job creation. (DOE) awarded a power purchase agreement to Hawaii Pacific Solar, LLC, for installation of photovoltaic (PV) systems at 15 Kauai schools. Under the agreement, the installation of the PVs at the schools will be completed at no cost to the state. The project will begin immediately in January 2012 and is expected to be completed by summer 2014. Ultimately,

the DOE will save an estimated $30 million over the life of the project, taking into account a projected 3 percent yearly increase in commercial electricity rates. Over the next decade, we plan to aggressively expand its PV project statewide to all schools. There is no better place to set the example of changing the way we approach our energy than in our schools, setting an example to our future leaders. Projects such as these also create opportunities for Hawaii to take a leading role in setting standards for the rest of country in employing clean energy technologies. This combination of fiscal prudence, focusing on capital improvement projects and investing in energy technology will have a much needed stimulating effect, growing a sustainable economy, creating jobs and accelerating our economic recovery. Working together, we can achieve this sustainable economic approach that supports a strong construction industry, ensuring that the people of Hawaii have amble opportunity to continue raising their families in Hawaii, now and in the future.

Gov. Neil Abercrombie and Schools Superintendent Kathryn Matayoshi announce that the state Department of Education (DOE) has awarded a power purchase agreement (PPA) contract to install photovoltaic (PV) systems at 15 Kauai schools. Under the agreement, the installation of the PVs at the schools will be completed at no cost to the state.


More Than $100 Million in Projects Scheduled to Open Bids in 2012 By Duane Kashiwai, Public Works Manager Department of Education (DOE) State of Hawaii

D

espite the continuing economic uncertainty, the Department of Education (DOE) continues to maintain an aggressive pace in its efforts to improve the condition of Hawaii’s public schools. This is reflected in the estimated $104.2 million in construction projects scheduled to open bids in the next 12 months. This project list includes $15 million for the renovation of science classrooms statewide to meet the Board of Education’s new science requirements. In addition, the DOE expects to issue $10.8 million in new electrical upgrades for various schools around the state to increase the

electrical capacity at our older schools and meet the increased demand for electrical power.

The Department of Education continues to maintain an aggressive pace in its efforts to improve the condition of Hawaii’s public schools. Other notable projects include: s $8.1 million for a new classroom building at Waipahu Elementary School

s 6 million for a new library at Kapaa Elementary School s $5 million in projects to comply with American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements s $8 million for temporary classroom space statewide s $2.2 million for a new data center s $2 million in projects to increase energy efficiency and sustainability Repair and maintenance projects account for more than 270 projects estimated at $28.4 million.

Modernization to Keep Hawaii Moving By Glenn M. Okimoto, Director Department of Transportation (DOT) State of Hawaii

I

n our first year under the AbercrombieSchatz administration, our state Department of Transportation (DOT) has continued its diligent work towards improving the safety and efficiency of Hawaii’s highways, airports and harbors systems. 2011 saw the completion of major projects to enhance air travel statewide, continued progress on harbor improvements and the opening of significant highway projects designed to improve traffic and keep motorists safe. Construction is under way at the Honolulu International Airport (HNL) on a new Emergency Power Facility (EPF). Comprised of four generators, the EPF will provide up to 10 megawatts of electrical power to the airport in the event of a major emergency or natural disaster. The facility will be linked to the existing Hawaiian Electric Co. power grid but will be able to isolate

itself to provide power solely to the airport in case of an emergency. Work on the $19.9 million project is anticipated to be complete in late 2012.

The $66 million EDS Integration Improvements Project started in July 2010 and is scheduled to be complete in January 2013. Improvements continued at HNL with the completion of a newly renovated ticketing lobby in October. The redesigned Lobby 8 in the main terminal building includes a brightly colored back wall made of cast glass depicting the Pacific Ocean and a “wave� wall made of shaped wood spanning the entire lobby. A similar Hawaiian Islands-

themed renovation is planned for Lobby 7 with continued improvements planned for Lobbies 4, 5 and 6. Lobby 8 renovations also included the creation of more open space with the removal of old ticket counters and the installation of 46 new, state-of-the-art ticketing counter positions and informational video displays. The lobby renovation is a part of the In-line Explosive Detection System (EDS) installation, currently under way at HNL. The $66 million EDS Integration Improvements Project started in July 2010 and is scheduled to be complete in January 2013. It includes 16 in-line explosive detection machines provided by the Transportation Security Administration in Lobbies 4, 5, 7 and 8, four explosive trace detection rooms and construction of a new baggage handling system.

At a cost of $8.1 million, the first of three phases will consist of harbor dredging to accommodate large vessels that will dock at the future Pier 4. The second phase will construct a $10 million cargo yard, scheduled to begin 2012. Construction of the $37 million Pier 4 will be the third phase with work set to begin in the summer of 2013. Road improvements at Hilo Harbor are also

planned to relieve traffic congestion in and out of the area. Our Highways Division also continued to make great strides this year with the completion of the highly anticipated H-1 Freeway Kapolei interchange complex, Phase I, in Kapolei. Four new entrance and exit ramps give motorists additional options and balance traffic volumes throughout the Kapolei, Makakilo and Kalaeloa regions. The project’s new Wakea Street extension also provides a connection for the area’s three main thoroughfares: Farrington Highway, Kamokila Boulevard and Kalaeloa Boulevard, giving motorists even greater travel options. Phase I construction was completed at an approximate cost of $18.7 million. Phase II, anticipated to begin construction in mid-2013, will include additional ramps connecting the Wakea Street extension to the westbound lanes of H-1 Freeway. Further future phases will construct more entrance and exit ramps, linking major roadways and balancing the distribution of traffic throughout the region, allowing motorists to spend less time in traffic. Construction of the new Wailua Cane Haul Bridge was completed on Kauai, replacing the original single-lane, northbound

took a top priority and several major projects were completed at HNL to improve appearances and ensure that facilities are maintained for air travelers. New Terrazzo flooring was installed in the Ewa Concourse pedestrian breezeway replacing decades-old flooring that had degraded beyond repair. A decorative Polynesian navigational compass designed by the Polynesian Voyaging Society was also installed to enhance the airport’s unique sense of place. In the International Arrivals Building, a “wave” ceiling façade was constructed, providing a truly distinctive appearance for visitors. This project and other needed restoration work, including walkway renovations, planter replacements and canopy repairs, were completed in November at an approximate cost of $7 million. At our Harbors Division, improvements are continuing at Honolulu Harbor’s Pier 29, where reconstruction work will add approximately 12 acres of upgraded cargo yard. Along with pavement reconstruction, the project includes new drainage, water, lighting, sewer, fire protection and electrical systems and will increase Honolulu Harbor’s cargo capacity, creating space for more efficient commercial operations.

bridge over the Wailua River with a new, pre-fabricated, two-lane bridge that includes a multi-use bicycle and pedestrian path. The $29 million project widened this section of Kuhio Highway from three lanes to four lanes and eases traffic congestion. Repair and maintenance work was also done on the southbound, two-lane Wailua River Bridge, along with new intersection improvements at Kuamoo Street. Only four months into its third year of service, the popular Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program announced an expansion of its service area to include an additional 3.8 miles on the H-1 Freeway from Vineyard Boulevard to University Avenue, for a total coverage of approximately 23 miles of freeway in both directions. The FSP provides free emergency roadside service to motorists to keep freeways clear. Removing vehicles in distress helps to prevent traffic from backing up, improving commute times especially during peak rush-hours. Among our major projects currently in-progress are the Kaumualii Highway widening project on Kauai, the construction of Lahaina Bypass Road, Phase 1B-1, on Maui, the Queen Kaahumanu Highway widening project on the Big Island and

dowel retrofit pavement maintenance projects on Oahu’s H-1 Freeway. Also very near completion are the replacements of the North Kahana Stream and South Punaluu Stream Bridges on Oahu.

Progress Through Construction Approximately $154.1 million is slated for projects on our state highways in 2012, with approximately $110 million of this allocated for the neighbor islands. Among the largest of these project outlays will be $35 million for the rehabilitation of the Umauma Stream bridge on Hawaii Belt Road on the Big Island and $18 million for two bridge replacements on Farrington Highway in Makaha, Oahu. Our Harbors Division is planning approximately $13.2 million in improvements and maintenance projects at our harbors across the state. Among the largest of these projects will be a $2 million structural repair project at Honolulu Harbor Piers 24-26. More than $1.1 million will be dedicated to projects at Kahului Harbor on Maui and another $830,000 at Hilo Harbor on the Big Island. Our Airports Division is moving forward

with nearly $189 million in projects at our state airports. Among the largest of these projects is the $50 million construction of the new Kahului Airport access road on Maui, which will create a new thoroughfare connecting the airport directly to Hana Highway. Also slated for construction is a $17 million cargo facility at Hilo International Airport on the Big Island and another $16.7 million for continued construction of the commuter terminal at HNL. The continued rebound of Hawaii’s economy and construction industry will be fueled by highway, airport and harbor modernization projects such as these. The DOT will continue its work to further ensure that Hawaii’s present and future transportation needs are met, as they are the lifelines of our economy. These infrastructure upgrades and improvements will also improve our quality of life, so that we are spending less time stuck in traffic and more time at home with our families, doing the things we enjoy.

After the $908 million (31.2 percent) and the $679 million (18.9 percent) declines in private building permits suffered in 2009 and 2008, respectively, the $19 million (0.9 percent) decline in private building permits in 2010 seemed to suggest the decrease had finally stabilized; however, during the first three quarters of 2011, private building permits decreased $188 million or 12.2 percent. Of that $188 million, residential building permits decreased $85 million or 13.7 percent compared with the same period in 2010. Commercial & industrial building permits decreased $83 million or 31.9 percent, and additions & alterations permits decreased $20 million or 3 percent compared with the same period in 2010. While government contracting is helping keep the industry more stable, it is unable to replace private sector losses – nor is it able to maintain a high level of spending. In 2010, government contracts awarded increased $279 million or 35.8 percent compared to the previous year; however, it decreased $526 million or 66.7 percent in the first three quarters of 2011 from the same period in 2010.

The federal government also plays an important role in Hawaii’s economy. According to the most recent data available, total federal direct expenditures or obligations in Hawaii reached $20.9 billion in the federal fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2010, an increase of 9.8 percent over the previous year. Between federal fiscal years 2000 and 2010, the annual average growth rate for federal expenditures was about 8.7 percent. As of the first two quarters of 2011, federal contract awarded totaled $293 million. The impact of the Federal Budget Control Act to Hawaii’s economy is not known at this time, and the sequestration process is not going to start until January 2013.

The Counties In 2010, the value of private building permits increased $110 million or 8.8 percent in Honolulu, increased $51 million or 16.5 percent in Hawaii, but decreased $29 million or 13.3 percent in Maui, and decreased $150 million or 68.8 percent in Kauai. During the first three quarters of 2011, the value of private building permits decreased in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Kauai, but increased in Maui, compared to the same period in 2010.

City Focuses Investment on Infrastructure

onolulu is now the 10th largest city in the United States, just after Dallas, Texas. Census 2010 put the population of Honolulu at 953,207, a nearly 9 percent increase over 10 years. It is estimated that this growth trend will continue for the simple reason that people continue to want to live on Oahu. Honolulu ranks high in studies and ratings for its economic health, fiscal responsibility of municipal government, availability of services, and natural resources and is the number one city in the nation for quality of life according to a recent survey by the consulting group, Mercer. Given these circumstances, the city administration is focusing its efforts on providing infrastructure that will meet the long-term needs of Honolulu. This includes three major areas as far as construction is concerned: roads, sewers and rail transit. Roads continue to be a priority for the city in fiscal year (FY) 2012. In the Capital Improvements Program budget for FY 2012, $90.4 million has been allocated for highways and streets.

The city also continues its work on creating and maintaining a pavement management system that will track the status of all city highways and streets

Utility relocation work is in progress as of the publication of this periodical in preparation for the anticipated construction of the transit guideway beginning February 2012. on the island and will assist the city in determining the appropriate allocation of resources to the appropriate areas. Sewer infrastructure improvements are another long term priority budgeted at $230.5 million this fiscal year, an increase of $30 million over last year. The comprehensive settlement reached between

the city and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has focused the administration on moving forward with specific “consent decree” projects. Finally, ground was broken in February 2011 for Honolulu’s rail transit system. Construction commences for the project, which will bring muchneeded jobs to our community during these tough economic times. It also will provide a solid transportation option and restore quality of life for our residents who are forced to fight traffic daily, at the expense of time with their families and friends. Rail is a green and sensible solution to our gridlocked roads and highways. The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) became a semiautonomous agency on July 1, 2011 with an appointed board of directors and a budget that is separate from the city’s operating and capital budgets. HART finalized the $1.4 billion core systems contract in November 2011 with Ansaldo Honolulu JV, moving the project forward with the design and continued on page 24

quarters of 2011 was far less than the decrease in 2010. For construction jobs, Honolulu has been doing better than the neighbor islands. In the first three quarters of 2011, Honolulu added 700 construction jobs compared with the same period last year. Maui lost 650 construction jobs, followed by Hawaii (250), and Kauai (50)

Home Sales Conditions in the existing housing market also affect future construction activity. However, residential real estate sales in Hawaii have lost some ground in 2011 after rallying in 2010. In Honolulu, in the first 10 months of 2011, single-family home resale 22 CONSTRUCTION PREVIEW 2012

declined 2.7 percent. The median price for single-family home was $570,000, down 4.4 percent compared with the same period in 2010. The condominium unit resale increased 1.5 percent. The median price for a condominium unit was $302,790, down 0.8 percent from the same period of 2010. In Maui, single-family home resale increased 8.6 percent in the first 10 months of 2011. The median price for single-family home was $435,000, down 5.4 percent compared with the same period in 2010. The condominium unit resale remained the same.

The condominium unit resale decreased 6.9 percent. The median price for a condominium unit was $215,000, down 24.6 percent from the same month of 2010. On Kauai, in October 2011, singlefamily home resale remained the same. The median price for single-family home was $452,500, down 21.3 percent compared with the same month in 2010.

Building Permit Numbers Rise, But Valuations Decline By David K. Tanoue, Director Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) City & County of Honolulu

F

iscal year 2011 continued a four-year trend of peaks and valleys for the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) in terms of building permits processed and issued, and their valuations. In FY2010, statistical data showed a measure of improvement; however, FY2011 saw a substantial decline in permit valuations. While the number of permits issued increased over the previous year, their valuations decreased in 2011, evidence that smaller projects are being undertaken on Oahu. These statistics also reflected the volatility of the construction industry during continued difficult economic times. In FY2011, the department issued 15,631 building permits representing a total construction valuation of

$1,564,016,170, compared with the 14,248 permits issued in FY2010 with a total construction valuation of $1,996,237,417. Although there was an increase of 1,383 permits issued (up

9 percent), the construction value that those building permits represent decreased by $432,221,247 (down 12 percent). Total valuation is a better indicator of construction activity than the number

Perhaps more important than rail transit itself is its ability to influence neighborhood revitalization. With the right incentives and public policies, economic growth and improved community amenities can be realized through transitoriented development (TOD).

Water Rates, Spending Going Up By Dean A. Nakano, Acting Manager Board of Water Supply (BWS) City and County of Honolulu

T

he Board of Water Supply (BWS) is the state’s largest water utility serving approximately 150 million gallons of water a day to roughly 1 million customers. The agency is responsible for managing Oahu’s municipal water resources and distribution system, which includes 94 active potable water sources, 90 booster pump stations, 170 reservoirs and nearly 2,100 miles of pipeline serving the island of Oahu. Our focus continues to be on our core function of delivering water. This involves repairing and replacing aging infrastructure and maintaining and updating components to the water system that are critical to delivering water. Like other utilities across the nation, we face challenging economic times and must operate with decreased revenues and increased costs. While steps have been taken to address increases in costs for fuel, electricity, labor, construction materials, supplies and services, we need to raise water rates to fund the maintenance and replacement of infrastructure to meet our operational requirements and to ensure system reliability. The funding will go toward proactive pipeline replacement to minimize water main breaks and also to renew our pumps, reservoirs and treatment plants. Not surprisingly, the bulk of our future projects will address our aging infrastructure to ensure system

adequacy, efficiency and dependability to meet current and future demands. Approximately $4.5 million is budgeted for renovation at various well sites and key booster and pumping stations throughout the island. Of that, $1.5 million is budgeted for the Hauula Wells renovation project to replace pumping units and upgrade electrical systems and controls. Another nearly $6 million is earmarked for projects related to

Approximately $17 million is proposed for construction of pipeline replacement, including projects in Hawaii Kai, Kakaako, Liliha and Manoa. our various reservoir facilities island wide. Repair and renovation projects are slated at three of our reservoirs to ensure our water tanks are safe and in proper working order. Another five reservoirs in Waipahu, Aiea, Makiki, St. Louis Heights, and Alewa Heights will get a needed facelift and be repainted. Approximately $17 million is proposed for construction of pipeline replacement,

including projects in Hawaii Kai, Kakaako, Liliha and Manoa. Finally, another $2 million is budgeted for an emergency generator system upgrade for the Board of Water Supply Beretania Pumping Station. Proposed projects in our 2012 calendar year total more than $28 million. The Board of Water Supply is presently implementing alternate project delivery methods to improve performance and ensure projects are completed on schedule and within budget. In seeking the best value for our ratepayers, water main replacement projects will continue to use a request for proposal evaluation process to allow for procurement of construction services considering experience and past performance, rather than simply a low bid. The Board of Water Supply is continuing to address immediate needs and to set the groundwork for future gains as we build and maintain a water system to serve generations to come. Working together, not only within the Board of Water Supply but also within the community, we can ensure water for life - safe and dependable water now and into the future. More water saving tips and information about Board of Water Supply programs are available on the Board of Water Supply web site, www. boardofwatersupply.com.

stations can save on transportation costs by thousands of dollars annually just by using the train, rather than their cars. Developers and businesses will not have to provide customer and employee parking, but will allow them to invest in housing and office/ retail spaces. Consumers and visitors will have a convenient way of visiting local neighborhoods for unique groceries, cultural events and specialty stores they otherwise may not consider, bringing new dollars into these communities.

Based on this potential, DPP in 2007 began to prepare TOD projects along the transit corridor. We began drawing up neighborhood plans, defining how TOD can best add to the quality of life in each neighborhood. Along with identifying important development priorities, the plans assess the ability of current infrastructure systems to support TOD. In addition, more landowners and developers within the transit corridor (Ewa to Ala Moana Center) are beginning discussions with the city on

how best to incorporate TOD elements in their own investment planning. By mid-2012, 19 of the 21 transit station areas will have TOD plans completed, pending, or initiated. Follow-up zoning to implement the plans are being developed and should be in place in the next year or two.

Belt Tightening Helps Hawaii County Pursue Capital Improvements

COUNTY AGENCIES

By Billy Kenoi, Mayor County of Hawaii

I

t’s been a challenging year economically for the County of Hawaii, but a careful program of belt tightening during the last three budget cycles has left us with a leaner, more efficient government and the confidence to make capital investments in our future. Restrictions on hiring, overtime, purchases and other expenses resulted in a fund balance of $24.7 million at the end of the fiscal 2011, or $10.74 million more in county coffers than we expected. This year’s operating budget is $35.9 million or 8.9 percent less than the budget in effect when this administration took office in 2008. Since then, we have unfunded 222 positions and reduced the total number of employees by 166 as of Oct. 1. I am extremely proud of our employees for doing more with less. We know we still face difficult times ahead, but our cost-cutting efforts coupled with our excellent bond rating has made us confident that we are positioned to provide essential services such as police and fire while still pursuing much needed capital improvement. This ability to float bonds during a down economic period is a significant opportunity. In addition to providing work to an ailing construction industry short on private sector opportunities, the competition for these public works projects will result in attractive bids that will save taxpayer dollars. In April, the Hawaii County Council approved our $56 million bond float proposal that we had been working on for at least a year. This approval came despite the former council majority delaying our proposal until after the 2010 General Election so the current council could vote on whether to borrow the money. Many of these projects can be found in the Hawaii County list later in this publication, but we’d like to point out a few highlights, such as the $20 million Laaloa Avenue connector in West Hawaii which should be out to bid in the first half 28 CONSTRUCTION PREVIEW 2012

of 2012, and the $8.7 million Kapiolani Street extension in Hilo, which will stimulate further public investment by the University of Hawaii. Another project highlighted on the bond float is the Kalanianaole Street interceptor sewer project. Estimated between $8 million and $10 million, the project is moving smoothly with 90 percent of the design complete. Environmental management officials are optimistic this project will go out to bid by January 2012. Also to be offered sometime in 2012 is the $1 million Hilo wastewater outfall repair.

The $20 million Laaloa Avenue connector in West Hawaii should be out to bid in the first half of 2012. In other areas, the Office of Housing and Community Development has unveiled the first increment of Kamakoa Nui, a workforce housing project that has already injected nearly $44 million worth of infrastructure into the local economy. Construction of four model homes is complete, and pre-sales of the first increment of this community is set to begin next month. Designed by MVE Pacific, prices will range from $240,000 to $325,000. We anticipate putting about two dozen homes out to bid sometime in the first quarter of 2012. However, that time frame will be determined by the public’s interest in these attractive and affordable units. Housing also has put out to bid a $1.2 million educational training facility at the Kaloko Transitional Housing complex currently with proposals expected in December. At Parks and Recreation, a number of large projects also are expected to be put out to competitive bid, including the

$1.5 million Alii Kai subdivision park in Kailua-Kona, $1.2 million to re-roof the Pahala Community Center, $1.25 million in repairs to Yano Hall in Captain Cook and $850,000 in ADA improvements at Waiakea Recreational Center. The Water Department will be busy in 2012 with an $11.7 million CIP budget and a long list of projects that are aligned with its 20-year Water Master Plan. Some of the possible expenditures include the $5 million Ahualoa-Honokaa transmission waterline, $3 million Kulaimano production well and support facilities in South Hilo, $3 million Halaula well and $2.5 million Waikoloa Reservoir emergency earthquake repairs. Perhaps one of the most exciting developments will not direct funds into any particular project, but facilitate private sector investment. The County of Hawaii has fine tuned its efforts to streamline our permitting process. So far, we have received rave reviews, from the contractor building a simple addition to a singlefamily residence, to those who have much larger plans. Essentially, this streamlining process consists of representatives from the departments of public works, planning, fire, environmental management and the state Department of Health to meet four times a week to review plans. Through this review process, nonresidential and residential permits are typically completed in two to four weeks. In the past, these reviews would drag on from weeks to months, even for relatively minor applications. As we all know, those who wish to invest will shy away from uncertainty or lengthy processes. While we have no control over national or worldwide economic factors, there are things that we can control, and this will be a key component to successful local investment as our economy gets back to full strength.

This project puts more than 1,000 solar panels on the rooftops of county facilities on Maui and Lanai, work that is sure to continue in 2012. Our administration also is working very closely with developers, consultants and other professionals to come up with a better, faster and more efficient permitting process. The way to do that is to start from the first part of the process, namely the application process. If we can reduce processing times and avoid common mistakes, the permitting process will go more smoothly and projects will get approved more quickly. To do this the county held a Permitting for Professionals Workshop on Dec. 9, 2011. At the time of this writing, I am pleased to say that the workshop is already booked solid by the many architects, contractors, engineers and other industry professionals who want to work with the county on this endeavor. Presenting departments at the workshop include the Department of Water Supply, Department of Public Works, Department of Fire and Public Safety, Department of Environmental Management, Department of Planning, Department of Housing and Human Concerns and the State Office of Environmental Quality Control.

2012 Has Cause for Optimism

COUNTY AGENCIES

By William Spence, Director Department of Planning County of Maui The Maui Planning Department is cautiously optimistic for the construction industry in 2012.

Focus for New Year is on New Construction and Distribution By David Taylor, Director Department of Water Supply (DWS) County of Maui

hen the new administration took the lead in 2011, the County of Maui Department of Water Supply implemented improvements for more accountability and better customer service. As a first priority, we worked to assess the long-term needs of the department to create a 20-year schedule to meet these goals. The primary focus is on long-term capital improvement and infrastructure replacement. Without a doubt, our first priority is to ensure the long-term viability of Maui County’s drinking water system. As a result, future projects are prioritized on a six-year capital improvement schedule and a 20-year strategic business plan. The schedules provide a more systematic approach to planning projects and identify funding necessary to implement the projects. Each project is prioritized and includes work-hours required and estimated

For fiscal year 2012 the budget is $18.85 million start and end dates. The benefits of committing projects to a timeline include reasonable scheduling for implementation, an outline of project goals to stay on schedule, and the foresight to avoid scheduling conflicts. Funding is the key to success for both the six-year CIP and the 20-year strategic plan. The county’s legislative body, the County Council, determines water rates and bond issuance, so the department is preparing options to help them determine what level of service the department will provide to the community. The elected officials have some tough decisions in front of them with the weak economy and the ongoing need for infrastructure replacement. For fiscal year 2012 the budget is $18.85 million; the budget

for fiscal year 2013 is tentative and should be completed by spring 2012. The department improved the building permit application process to quicken review time. In addition, recent changes to the Maui County code also have improved building permit review. The end result is better customer service. Staff continues to work on improving the permitting process and work with other agencies and consultants to reduce review time. Fiscal year 2012 CIP focuses on the construction of new and replacement source, storage tank replacement, and water distribution improvement. State Revolving Fund (SRF) loans are budgeted for three projects, totaling $3.3 million. Other projects include the Waikamoi Flume replacement project to eliminate leaks and improve source transmission for the Upper Kula raw water collection system. This construction project is budgeted at $13 million and is tentatively scheduled for late 2012. Source development projects include Mahinahina Well development in Lahaina, Wailuku Well development in Central Maui, and Kawela Exploratory Well on Molokai. Waterline projects are planned for Kula and for Ualapue on Molokai. For the surface water treatment facilities in Upcountry Maui, $5 million is tentatively budgeted for the Piiholo Water Treatment Facility to reduce the naturally occurring carbon in the water from the rain forest, and $1.5 million is budgeted for the Olinda Water Treatment Facility to refurbish the 8.5 million gallon sedimentation basin. Like water utilities across the state, the department is working hard to maintain an aging water system, meet state and federal water quality regulations, satisfy customers, and stay within budget constraints. The CIP schedule and 20-year strategic plan will help the department prioritize its

Construction Industry to Grow: Slightly

COUNTY AGENCIES

By David Goode, Director Department of Public Works (DPW) County of Maui

C

onstruction activity for Maui in 2012 will likely mirror 2011 given the overriding national economic hesitation plaguing real property investment. Given that backdrop, Maui County under the leadership of Mayor Alan Arakawa had made it his number one priority to assist realistic projects in removing local barriers to construction. For the last 10 years, the construction industry in Maui County has maintained at around $500 to $750 million worth of activity, except for a spike in 2006 of almost $1 billion. We expect 2012 to be slightly higher than last year, but nowhere near the heightened activity we saw in 2006. 2011 looks like a modest increase over 2010 when only $223.9 million of construction activity was permitted. For the period of January through October 2011, total building permits issued were

valued at $216.3 million, up 9 percent year over the previous year. A primary barrier to construction is the time it takes to get certain permits. These permits are generally the most complex, and sometimes building plan review sets are not as complete as they could be. However, all departments are making efforts to better staff their review sections, sift out the easier projects for less senior reviewers, and streamline permit review processes and/ or regulations to assist in reducing review times. The jury is still out on significant reductions in review time, but anecdotally, permittees are reporting better success in getting their permits through. For the Department of Public Works, these streamlining efforts have come through: s #OUNCIL ADOPTION OF THE SUBDIVISION changes on conformity with the community plans;

s (OLDING STATE $EPARTMENT OF ,AND and Natural Resources, State Historic Preservation Division reviews to 30 days as required in their rules; s )SSUING TEMPORARY CERTIFICATES OF occupancy for tenant improvements so tenants have time to furnish units prior to final inspection; s 2E EXAMINING THE AGENCIES THAT REVIEW certain classes of permits; and s !GENCY COORDINATION MEETINGS ON HIGH dollar construction projects. Additional efforts coming in the near term include: s Revisions to building and subdivision codes that streamline processes and include mandatory review times; and s Online permitting of certain straightforward activities. Capital improvement projects are under way countywide and we will encumber 90-95 percent of our fiscal year 2011 CIP funds by year end. This means virtually all the projects for which we were appropriated funding will either be built, under construction, or shortly under construction, helping the building industry in terms of jobs and helping our residents with better roadway and drainage systems. Projects that are under way in the latter part of 2011 include Phase 2A of the Lahaina Flood Control Project, the roundabout and completion of the first segment of the bikeway in Kihei, replacement of Papahawahawa Bridge in Hana, replacement of the Polipoli Bridge in Kula, resurfacing in various districts, and improvements to the Kalana O Maui County building. Even though 2011 was about the same as 2010, our efforts are geared towards making sure that Maui County will be positioned to keep and spend its share of federal and local highway improvement funds on improving our roadways and drainage systems, and laying the groundwork for when construction activity picks up our permitting process will be quicker and more predictable.

Budget Committed to Improving Economy Through Construction By Kyle Ginoza, Director Department of Environmental Management (DEM) County of Maui

I

n the County of Maui Department of Environmental Management, we oversee a number of environmentally related functions, the primary thrust being the efficient and safe disposal of liquid and solid wastes. Specifically, the department handles the collection, transmission, and treatment of wastewater, residential refuse collection, landfills and landfill diversion (recycling). The department contains two divisions, the Wastewater Reclamation Division and the Solid Waste Division. Under the purview of the department, we have equipment and facilities that run the gamut from small pumps and valves and other accessories to region-wide landfills and wastewater reclamation facilities. Our primary goal has been and will continue to be proactive measures to prevent against breakdowns, which may result in environmental impacts. Consequently, we annually have a number of capital improvement projects to ensure sound operation of our facilities to protect our communities’ health and safety. Despite the challenging economic conditions in Hawaii, Mayor Alan Arakawa has expressed his vision for the department as continued protection of the health and safety of the county’s residents through infrastructure improvements, expansion of recycled water capabilities, and development of renewable energy facilities. The current year budget reflects his commitment toward improving the economy through construction project development.

Wastewater Reclamation Division The operations, maintenance and repair activities within the Wastewater Reclamation Division (WWRD) are 100 percent funded through sewer user fees. The capital improvement program (CIP)

also is largely funded through sewer user fees, though recently the division has been fortunate to be the recipient of a number of federal grants. This year, the WWRD has over 20 CIP projects totaling over $23 million. Of these 20 CIP projects, nine are construction projects budgeted at approximately $16.45 million. It is anticipated that there will be roughly the same amount of funding for CIP projects next fiscal year. This year’s CIP projects include various improvements at our major wastewater plants, regional pump station

We annually have a number of capital improvement projects to ensure sound operation of our facilities. renovations, and gravity and force main replacements. While the plant and pump station improvements require specialized knowledge in the operation of wastewater electromechanical systems, gravity and force main replacements involve excavation and installation of pipeline segments and are therefore less specialized. Our wastewater projects have a wide range of construction functions from sitework to equipment replacements to vertical construction. Upcoming areas of development next year and beyond include the expansion of our recycled water capabilities at our treatment plants on Maui and expanded regional planning and development of our facilities. The County of Maui is committed to increased use of recycled water for irrigation and will increase disinfection capacity and transmission and storage facilities for recycled water over the next few years. In addition, we are exploring our ability to serve

currently unsewered areas and are assessing our ability to accommodate future development across the county. It is likely that this assessment will result in a number of additional wastewater facility improvements.

Solid Waste Division The Solid Waste Division (SWD) completed the update of the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan in 2009 and is working on many of the studies identified. These studies will lead to design and ultimately construction of solid waste facilities. As the division completes the studies, the design phases for several projects are proposed for funding in the next budget cycle. Construction projects for the SWD all occur at our various landfills throughout the county. This year, there are four CIP projects for the SWD, totaling $2.45 million. These projects involve landfill phase closure, land acquisition, installation of monitoring equipment, and some sitework. We expect these types of projects to continue over the next few years as we continue to better serve our communities and to maintain compliance with our regulatory permits. In the short- to mid-term, we will be exploring the viability of a diversity of renewable energy initiatives and facility expansion at the Central Maui Landfill. While a methane gas-to-energy construction project is already under way, we also are contemplating a wasteto-energy system as well, designed to harvest the waste stream in order to generate electricity. In addition, we hope to acquire funding for a wind energy project for the landfill for tentative construction in the next couple of years.

Garden Isle Will Push Out ‘Ready’ Projects for Near-Term Impact

COUNTY AGENCIES

By Bernard P. Carvalho, Jr., Mayor County of Kauai

E

conomist Leroy Laney was spot-on when he said in a recent report, “Kauai’s spirit of measured optimism prevails despite the very slow pace of recovery nowadays in Hawaii and everywhere else.” I truly believe that the vast majority of people on the Garden Isle are indeed hopeful that the tide will continue to turn, especially after meetings I had last year with dozens of community organizations, businesses and individuals. The County of Kauai will certainly do its part to lead and support efforts that stimulate our economy and put the unemployed back to work. In 2012, we have a number of CIP projects on the drawing board including: improvements to county roadways, stadiums, parks, sewer pump stations, wastewater treatment plants, as well as other county facilities. Our focus will be on getting “ready” projects out – those in which the funds can be encumbered this year – in order to achieve near-term impact. The county’s three largest projects are: Kekaha Landfill Cell 2 Expansion, $8.4 million; islandwide resurfacing, $6.5 million; and multi-use Coastal Path (Lydgate to Kapaa Phase A), $5.6 million. A long list of our 2012 CIP projects can be found on our county web site, www.kauai.gov. I am happy to report that a major change in the county’s bid process occurred in July of last year when we rolled out the first phase of a userfriendly, web-based system. Now anyone interested in accessing bid information on county projects can do so from any computer, including: solicitations, plans and specifications, addenda and awards. By incorporating the new system into county operations, we have realized many benefits such as increased efficiency, tremendous cost savings and improved transparency. 36 CONSTRUCTION PREVIEW 2012

Concurrently, the county is

developing an electronic contract execution and file management system that is designed to further enhance the bid process by providing county employees quick access to documents and expediting the review process. Besides CIP projects, my administration is also focusing on our Holo Holo 2020 plan, which includes 38 projects that will bring us to the realization of a vision for Kauai by the year 2020. That vision, which I shared during my inauguration speech in December 2010, calls for all organizations, businesses, residents and visitors on Kauai to be part of creating an island that is sustainable, values our native culture, has a thriving and healthy economy, cares for all – from keiki to kupuna – and has a responsible and userfriendly local government. A list of these projects along with a progress report can be found on the county’s web site. Exciting times lie ahead! I am confident that “Together We Can!”

Improvements to wastewater treatment plants, such as this one completed by Briant Construction, Inc. in 2011, are part of the county’s CIP projects this year.


Borrowing Will Finance $27 Million in Construction Projects By David R. Craddick, Manager and Chief Engineer Department of Water County of Kauai

T

he Kauai Department of Water has not only met its goal of encumbering $40 million since floating the $60 million Build America Bond in March 2010, it actually procured and/or completed about $47 million in design and construction of Water Plan 2020 projects. Recent year’s projects were financed primarily through borrowing and with several million in grants from the State of Hawaii. This

lower our carbon footprint as it will help reduce operating costs attributed to deep well pumping. The department remains busy with the planning and design necessary to implement the second phase of our Water Plan 2020. It expects to rename Water Plan 2020 to Water Plan 2050 in the near future. Although they have made substantial progress since the implementation of Water Plan 2020, the plan is a “living” document that is revised and updated annually by staff. In doing so, projects are added to better serve customers throughout the island. As such, nearly $600 million in projects remain to be completed and are not expected to be done by 2020. Raising rates will allow the

department to get to a more sustainable level of project implementation with the projected staffing levels and our customers’ ability to fund Water Plan projects. The staff at the Kauai Department of Water has definitely risen to the level needed during this high construction activity. I am very proud of the effort put out and realize that the high level of success we’ve achieved will be difficult to repeat (hana hou). As we look forward to the New Year, we should be able to continue meeting our construction challenges with continued support of the board, County Council, Mayor Carvalho, state legislators, the governor and our congressional representatives.

year, we expect to do approximately $27 million in construction projects and most of the work will be financed through borrowing. The Water Board has now approved rates that will allow the department to shift future funding for recurring replacement type projects to cash. Increased cashed financing of future projects reduces our borrowing and in turn lowers the end cost of construction. This correlates to an increase in the total amount of projects the Kauai Department of Water can procure each year. The state Department of Health, as the primacy agency for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is working with the department on one of the most innovative projects to come along since drilling was initiated on the Ewa plains in the 1800s. The department is currently doing the environmental work to develop high level water to dramatically reduce electricity costs by drilling horizontally into the formation rather than vertically. This project is a big key to the department’s current focus to 2012 CONSTRUCTION PREVIEW 37


Another Busy Year for Engineers By Lt. Col. Douglas B. Guttormsen, Commander and District Engineer Honolulu District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

FEDERAL AGENCIES

T

he Honolulu District continues to offer its customers a full menu of services and benefits that aid both the nation and the people of Hawaii. Fiscal year 2012 has the potential to be another busy year for the district. Annually, military-related missions account for more than 80 percent of the district’s workload. These projects improve the readiness and quality of life of our soldiers and airmen and their families living in Hawaii. Honolulu District’s services for military customers include overseeing design and construction for the Army and Air Force. We also provide real estate services and a variety of environmentally related assistance for our Armed Forces. The Honolulu District also works closely with the State of Hawaii and its counties to improve the quality of life of Hawaii’s residents through water resources and infrastructure development. The district’s civil and public works program helps maintain and improve Hawaii’s harbors,

ecosystems, and infrastructure – missions that are vital to Hawaii’s environment and economy – while protecting the community by building and maintaining storm damage reduction projects. In September 2011, the construction contract for the Kawainui Marsh restoration project was awarded to a Hawaii based contractor, Performance Systems, Inc., that will build waterbird ponds beginning in July 2012. Honolulu District’s emergency management program helps the community recover from natural disasters by providing emergency assistance immediately following a disaster. The district’s regulatory program protects the environment by reviewing and evaluating all work in waters of the U.S. In fiscal year 2011, which ended Sept. 30, Honolulu District contract actions totaled more than $544 million. Honolulu District anticipates military construction opportunities at Army installations in Hawaii which include barracks, training facilities

and operational facilities at Schofield Barracks and at Pohakuloa Training Area on the island of Hawaii. A variety of other construction opportunities will also be available. In the civil works arena, the Ala Wai Watershed Feasibility study continues, and there are also a number of other projects currently scheduled for Guam, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas. A vast amount of Honolulu District’s design work and all of its construction work is done by private sector architectengineer (A-E) and construction contractors. Through the years Hawaii’s A-E and construction firms have proven to be competitive and extremely talented, and we regard you as both partners and as valuable resources. We encourage you to learn more about contracting opportunities with the Honolulu District, including our small business program, by visiting our contracting division’s Internet web site http://www. poh.usace.army.mil/CT/CT.htm#DB.

Record Workload Pace to Continue By Capt. John Coronado, Commanding Officer Naval Facilities Engineering Command Hawaii (NAVFAC)

I

n these lean fiscal times, it’s great to be able to offer good news on our construction/contracting, energy, and small business efforts in Hawaii for both 2011 and 2012. For Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii, 2011 was a record workload year and a major success. Overall, our volume of business totaled $732 million, up from $585 million in 2010. In 2011, we provided significant opportunity for employment in the construction industry by completing a number of large construction projects such as American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) Repair Wharf S-1 at Pearl Harbor ($10.9 million), repaving and increasing the Arizona Memorial Visitor Parking area ($7.3 million), and the Installation of Photovoltaic Systems, Kauai ($6.7 million). Other non-ARRA items included the Pacific Fleet Submarine Drive-In Magnetic Silencing Facility ($88.1 million), Arizona Memorial Visitor Center Replacement Project ($32.7 million), Repair Wharf A-7 ($12.2 million) and Repair V-1 Dock ($9.6 million). All were completed on time and within budget. As one of the top consumers of energy in Hawaii, Navy Region Hawaii, with direct assistance from NAVFAC Hawaii’s energy team, is implementing several energy initiatives to decrease energy use and improve energy security by reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Conservation efforts and alternative energy opportunities are key components to maintaining mission readiness through sustainability and energy security initiatives. In 2011, the Navy installed 2.6 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaics on buildings at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Oahu and Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai. Also, $6.5 million worth of energy and water efficiency projects were designed and awarded to include energy efficient lighting, chillers, occupancy sensors, variable frequency drives and cool roof coating. On the small business front, NAVFAC

Hawaii executed over $530 million of contract work, of which 40 percent was awarded to small businesses. This exceeded command goals for small business, small disadvantaged business and HUBZone small business. NAVFAC Hawaii continued to encourage small business by sponsoring outreach events to bring them together with federal contracting agencies, large businesses and private agencies. The command participated in the ninth annual Department of Defense (DoD) Hawaii Small Business Forum where panel members discussed upcoming small business opportunities.

NAVFAC Hawaii executed over $530 million of contract work, of which 40 percent was awarded to small businesses. Forecast for FY12 NAVFAC Hawaii anticipates a similar volume of new work for 2012. A list of our major projects to be awarded is provided later in this publication and includes harbor maintenance dredging, construction of another Child Development Center, pier repairs, drydock structural and electrical repairs, an operations complex and hangar infrastructure work for the Marines at Kaneohe, and electrical work at Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai. Although the dollar amounts available for large project awards is not as prevalent in 2012, there are many more smaller projects for facility repairs and modernization, which should provide local job opportunities. We also believe the continuance of the competitive bidding climate will continue to provide a tremendous value for taxpayer dollars. We expect our in-house public works sustainment, maintenance, transportation and utilities work to remain at the same

level as in 2011 thereby maintaining a solid employment base for our employees. Additionally, we have planned for an increase in environmental restoration project funding to support a number of new cleanup investigations that have been waiting their turn on the Navy environmental priority list. NAVFAC Hawaii will continue to participate in various events to increase small business awareness of federal prime and subcontracting opportunities and provide forums to network. In addition, we plan to procure a Service Disabled VeteranOwned Small Business Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) intended to provide efficient procurement on fixed price construction projects valued $250,000 to $7 million. This contract will set aside projects for competition amongst Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small business firms. Our successful efforts in 2011 in awarding various special small business contract vehicles to promote partnerships and increase both competition and opportunities will carry into 2012. They include awards of (1) an 8(a) Developmental MACC for fixed price construction projects below $500,000, (2) a HUBZone Small Business MACC for construction projects between $500,000 and $10 million, and (3) an 8(a) Exterior/Interior Painting MACC for fixed price painting projects between $2,000 and $1 million. These new vehicles will help small businesses, stimulate the local economy, and encourage job growth. NAVFAC Hawaii is committed towards building upon the strong partnerships that we’ve established with local firms that help us deliver best-value planning, engineering, public works, environmental, and acquisitions services to our DoD and federal customers in Hawaii. We look forward to another challenging year and will assist whenever possible to help stimulate the local economy and provide job opportunities while we continue to strengthen the Department of Defense’s combat readiness through sustained lifecycle management of our facilities in Hawaii. 2012 CONSTRUCTION PREVIEW 39


Project Labor Agreement Assures Continuing Work for Signatory Unions By Jim Ramirez, Vice President Forest City Hawaii

E

mbarking on a partnership eight years ago with the Department of the Navy to develop, design and construct homes in a major privatization enterprise, Forest City has now provided new, high quality and sustainable homes for over 3,000 Navy and Marine personnel and their families. This has included the renovation of over 1,500 homes with many of the homes in the historic category. Forest City Military Communities Hawaii which comprises about 36 neighborhoods located around the Pearl Harbor vicinity and the Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH) at Kaneohe Bay. Eleven of the neighborhoods have undergone complete redevelopment from the demolition of the 1940 vintage homes to the construction of very spacious and comfortable homes with multiple recreational amenities for adults and children. At the present time, Forest City is in the final months of the construction of its largest neighborhood, Mololani, which is located at MCBH, and seven months ahead of the

contract schedule. This means that many of the Marine families were able to have their Christmas holiday in a new home rather than in their current residence. Ulupau, the last phase at MCBH, is under way and this 218 home neighborhood is scheduled to be completed in early 2014. In this phase, Forest City is incorporating all of the lessons learned from previous phases with more efficient construction details, energy savings design and more sustainable finish products. This is also being accomplished very cost effectively due to efficiencies that the contractors developed in the previous phases. Although there are no other new phases currently under contract, the 50-year Privatization Agreement between Forest City and the Department of the Navy allows for future redevelopment for neighborhoods as they mature into their useful life. This means that within the next 43 years, some of the Navy neighborhoods will undergo reconstruction similar to the construction programs that started in 2004. The new neighborhoods that are not rebuilt will then be renovated in the next 10 to 15 years. Throughout the last seven years of construction, an important element for Forest City’s success in the privatization initiative is the result of the cooperative relationship with the unions and the workforce. The Ohana Stabilization Agreement, which is the Project Labor Agreement (PLA) between 10 union contractors and Forest City, relationship has proven to be a very successful partnership from the start of construction seven years ago. For future new construction and major renovation work, the PLA will remain in place and be the source of additional work for the signatory unions.

Energy Developer With this long-term arrangement in place, Forest City is committed to investing in the Hawaii market through various business initiatives, such as the renewable energy business. In the past year, Forest City entered into the energy development business and formed a subsidiary Forest City Sustainable Resources (FCSR), which is in the business of selling power to Hawaiian Electric Company or other large entities. FCSR and Hawaiian Electric Company signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for 1 megawatt (MW) of solar photovoltaic (PV) power to be generated at the Kapolei Sustainable Energy Park in Kapolei, Oahu. FCSR then contracted with Hoku Solar to design and construct the solar farm consisting of more than 4,200 solar panels, and it is anticipated that the solar farm would be operational in mid-December 2011.

ontracts valued at more than $1.7 billion have been executed since Lend Lease entered into its partnerships with the Army and Air Force in Hawaii in 2004 and 2005. On the receiving end have been local subcontractors that received more than 90 percent of the contracts and nearly 5,000 service members and their families now living in a new home and enjoying wonderful community amenities. Construction and renovation at Hickam Communities, where Lend Lease is the owner and the Air Force’s preferred developer, will wrap up in July 2013. Over its remaining initial development period, more than 100 new homes will be constructed, fulfilling its commitment to build 1,208 homes for Airmen and their

An estimated $206 million in contracts is scheduled to be awarded at the Island Palm Communities project in the coming year. families. Lend Lease also is undertaking one of the largest historic residential rehabilitation projects in the nation in Hickam’s Historic District. More than 600 historical homes will be renovated into 423 homes, which include the restoration of 24 museum-type homes. At Island Palm Communities, the partnership between Lend Lease and the Army, an astounding 3,600 new homes have been built and the outlook for 2012 is more new homes. Construction will continue in Aliamanu Crater with work getting under way in the Valley View, Hibiscus and Red Hill neighborhoods. And, after a year hiatus from construction on Army installations in Central Oahu 44 CONSTRUCTION PREVIEW 2012

in order to focus on the Army’s south communities, trailers, excavators and tradesmen will head back to Schofield and Helemano Military Reservation to begin work on nearly 500 new homes.

Meeting Our Partner’s Needs In July 2011, a change was made to Island Palm Communities’ development scope in response to the Army’s need for more four and fivebedroom homes; the shift extended the construction period from 2015 to 2020. When the $2.5 billion initial development is completed, service members and their families will have 5,241 new and 2,515 renovated homes, seven new community centers, and dozens of community amenities and recreational facilities.

Skilled Workforce Supports Projects Helping Lend Lease meet construction timelines and deliver a quality product have been hundreds of skilled workers representing nearly all trades. Project labor agreements have been signed with a dozen unions, and a positive relationship with union representatives and subcontractors has been enjoyed since the projects’ inception.

Green Building Initiatives Lend Lease has a long history of developing sustainable communities; the ultimate aspiration, carbon neutral communities. Within its Hawaii military housing portfolio it has worked closely with partners to maximize the use of renewable energy resources through photovoltaic and solar hot water. Island Palm Communities is on track to have more than 25 percent of its energy needs met by renewable energy

by 2025, becoming one of the largest solar powered residential communities in the world. Never satisfied with the status quo, the project’s Simpson Wisser neighborhood at Fort Shafter was among a select group chosen to participate in the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED for Neighborhood Development (ND) pilot to help establish the first green rating system for neighborhoods. In May 2011, it became one of the first LEED-certified ND in the nation. Not to be shown-up by its sister project, Hickam Communities over the summer entered into a power purchase agreement with solar provider SolarCity to install 4 megawatts of photovoltaic atop roofs of existing homes, which is expected to produce more than 5.6 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually. The amount will offset more than 260 million pounds of carbon dioxide over the system’s lifetime, the equivalent of taking close to 23,000 cars off the road for a year.

Lend Lease manages the largest Military Housing Privatization Initiative portfolio and holds the largest share of privatized housing within the U.S. military. It is responsible for 40,000 homes, including nearly 8,500 hotel rooms in more than 21 military installations across 19 states. In Hawaii, Lend Lease will provide development, design, construction and asset and property management for the Army and Air Force through 2054 and 2055, respectively.


The project is expected to create more than 55 green jobs in Hawaii during the two-year installation period. Another milestone at Hickam Communities in 2012 is the final delivery of new homes in Onizuka Village. It will be the first neighborhood on an Air Force base to feature all Certified LEED-silver certified homes, a total of 304. A new initiative Lend Lease recently launched across its military portfolio is President Barack Obama’s Better Buildings Challenge, an energyefficiency program developed to create jobs, save money and reduce the nation’s dependence on foreign oil. In the islands, Lend Lease has already conducted a green retrofit analysis of renovated homes and recommendations are expected to commence in 2012. The work scope likely will include installing dual pane windows, tightening the building envelope to minimize energy loss that would mean better insulation, energy savings thermostats, more efficient air conditioning systems, and resident usage recommendations to minimize energy consumption. The target is to reduce energy consumption by 20 percent within the next five years.

Positive Outlook in 2012 and Beyond Although the initial development scope with the Air Force is winding down, the local construction industry can still look forward to a positive year with Lend Lease. An estimated $206 million in contracts is scheduled to be awarded at the Island Palm Communities project in the coming year. Moreover, work during the project’s remaining initial development scope through 2020 is valued at more than $1.1 billion.

ptimism runs high for economic improvement in 2012, which could rejuvenate the consulting and construction community. However, national and global economic challenges continue to impact the financial well being of our local industry. With reductions in government funding and lack of private financing, many projects continue to be delayed or cancelled. Our clients continue to explore ways to be more efficient and cost-effective in the manner that they conduct business. Consequently, insourcing (rather than outsourcing) work has become part of the process for businesses (including government agencies) to keep their employees gainfully employed.

Rationale: Because increasing the skill level of the workforce through new workforce entrants is a slow process it is critical to raise the skill level of the existing (incumbent) workforce to help keep the economy competitive. This is the major avenue lower-skilled individuals have to increase their earning power. Economic development is about more than increasing jobs and income. Ultimately, it is about improving the standard and quality of life. Of course, the economy and economic development are just not the only factors affecting the quality of life and the efforts to improve it. Health care, education, public infrastructure, the availability of affordable housing and other factors also affect the quality of life.

A Flat and Level Forecast By Wayne Kawano, President Cement and Concrete Products Industry of Hawaii (CCPI)

F

latness (FF) and levelness (FL) are terms we commonly use for measuring floor surfaces of newly constructed concrete slabs. Flat and level also describes our industry’s low production output since the impact of the economic demise in 2008. Recovery has yet to materialize as our annual volume plunged as much as 40 percent from the peak volumes just prior to 2008, a percentage drop that corresponds with the U.S. mainland statistics. Our 2012 forecast? ... (sigh) … flat and level. The precarious economic conditions and the delays, for various reasons, of project startups, are reasons to forecast another flat year; but with the anticipation of gradually elevating those FF and FL numbers as we move forward into 2013. Despite the numbers, our CCPI organization remains solid and strong, committed to the advancement of the concrete industry in Hawaii. These are challenging times as public agencies are faced with limited funding resources as well as for the private sector, securing financing and analyzing the cost-benefits for their projects. We’re all being challenged to seek new ways of doing things. The use of economic analysis to evaluate design alternatives in a project is even more essential today. This cost-effective consideration challenges the project team to become more transparent in the decision-making process of design alternatives based on life cycle cost, lowest operating and maintenance cost, longer service life, and greatest return on investment. In addition to the economic benefits, an investment decision should also incorporate the intangible benefits such as aesthetics, preservation, security and safety. Flat or level, it’s a great opportunity to “rethink concrete” as a sensible construction material with innovative applications. Building codes continue to evolve to incorporate more safety and stability features in the design of concrete structures, creating

opportunities for high performance concrete materials. The aesthetics and versatility of concrete design have made it trendier with more uses of colors, surface textures and unique shapes. We are already using innovative applications such as self consolidating concrete; pervious concrete parking lots; architectural ground face water repellent, integral color masonry units; marine concrete for long-lasting durability; and incorporation of recycled materials in concrete.

Our Organization CCPI (Cement and Concrete Products Industry of Hawaii) is a non-profit trade association, comprised of member firms located throughout Hawaii. Our member firms are

comprised of cement and concrete suppliers; construction tools and equipment vendors; manufacturers of masonry units, precast products, and prestressed structural elements; aggregate producers; specialty concrete contractors; consulting and inspection service firms. Since 1965, we have provided technical resources and educational seminars on concrete design and its applications.

Technical Resource, Education & Training CCPI is the local sponsoring group to administer the training and examinations for the ACI (American Concrete Institute www.concrete.org) Certifications and the NRMCA (National Ready Mix Concrete Association www.nrmca.org) Certifications.

A Call for Progress on Three Key Residential Projects By John White, Executive Director The Pacific Resource Partnership (PRP)

P

ASSOCIATIONS

rivate sector construction permit value peaked in 2006, topping $3.3 billion based on major project data PRP compiles. Three years later it reached barely half that level. This sort of volatility is extreme, but is hardly without precedent. Dating back to 1998, private sector construction projects have accounted for roughly 62 percent of industry activity. As we enter 2012, the health of our industry will rely largely on how resilient private sector demand is. Forthcoming redevelopment projects involving Sheraton Princess Kaiulani, Westin Moana Surfrider and Hilton Hawaiian Village are significant but alone won’t be sufficient to revitalize

We are advocates of rail not only because of the jobs it will create but for the way it can transform Honolulu, making it a more livable and convenient city. an entire industry. For that to happen, a pickup in residential construction is vital, making progress on approval of the Hoopili, Koa Ridge and the Kam Drive-In development projects essential. The annual value of residential construction permits issued peaked in 2005, reaching $2.25 billion, according to the state Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism (DBEDT) data. Without large-scale projects, the residential construction outlook is troubling. For the first three quarters of 2011, residential permit value was on pace to make it the weakest year since 1999, when permit 50 CONSTRUCTION PREVIEW 2012

value reached just $628 million. To give an idea of how important the residential sector has been to Hawaii, permit value reached just $779 million in 2010. Permit value last exceeded $1 billion in 2008. Between 2002 and 2008, the total value of residential construction authorizations was $11.52 billion, an average of $1.64 billion per year. This sort of level won’t be repeated unless the climate facing developers changes. The construction industry has been able to weather the private downturn because of a recent increase in public sector awards, most of them federal projects on Oahu. The political reality is that such money won’t continue to flow unabated from Washington D.C. PRP sees two other sources of potential public sector demand. Rail transit has gotten too much of the wrong sort of press due to the shortsighted efforts of its critics. We are advocates of rail not only because of the jobs it will create but for the way it can transform Honolulu, making it a more livable and convenient city. The transitoriented development (TOD) made possible by rail will mean significant work for our industry for decades. The second source of public sector demand also involves the private sector and our future: our educational system. Hawaii’s 255 public schools together occupy nearly 4,000 acres of land and contain roughly 19 million square feet of building space. As of 2010, the repair and maintenance backlog for state Department of Education (DOE) schools stood at $392 million. That comes to $2,200 per public school student, a sad commentary on how we value our students and their future. Many current school locations, especially older schools located within the urban core, have redevelopment

potential that can fundamentally alter our educational system’s ability to succeed. Harnessing that potential presents tremendous opportunity for the state, its students, and the construction industry. Because everyone in Hawaii benefits from better schools, improving them is an ideal extension of the publicprivate partnerships that have been so instrumental in improving housing for U.S. service members. The Military Housing Privatization Initiative, established by Congress in 1996, has made it possible for the Department of Defense to work with the private sector to create better and more affordable housing for military personnel across the nation, with Hawaii among the most successful areas. A similar approach – where a Public School Land Trust holds title to public school lands and revenues created by their sale, lease or joint-use – would create a means to build and finance schools to meet student needs in the 21st century. Redeveloping Hawaii’s underutilized plots will result in better school facilities. As importantly, it will generate revenue that can be used throughout Hawaii’s public school system, both for long-overdue facility repair and for creating environments that enhance learning opportunities. In its November report summarizing the state of Hawaii’s economy during the third quarter, DBEDT was blunt: “The indicators of Hawaii’s construction industry were mostly negative.” PRP recognizes the hurdles our industry faces, but also the opportunities. Working to clear the way for big projects – for starters Hoopili, Koa Ridge, and the Kam Drive-In – to begin is the best way to return the industry and state to a sustainable level of prosperity.

Forecast is for Single Digit Increase in Starts By Jeff Browning, President Hawaii Lumber Products Association (HLPA)

Building and Lumber Forecast Nationally, building starts look to be flat to single digit increases in 2012 over 2011. Building trends appear to be shifting to multifamily homes (condo, town homes and apartments) versus single-family homes. Multifamily homes tend to use a little less lumber; however, lumber use should be similar to 2011. Currently the largest market for logs internationally is China. In 2011, China’s consumption of logs drove price higher. However, in the last quarter of 2011, China has become flush with inventory creating a reduction in demand and price. Consequently, lumber prices have dropped also. China’s appetite for logs has been hard to predict. Prices will swing with China’s demand. American mills will be forced to compete for the same logs. The current reduction in demand for logs has driven prices down; however, they remain vulnerable due to the volatile swings in consumption.

Value of Building Green and with Wood The building value of wood far exceeds those of other building materials. The use of wood as a building material from forests that are replanted with fast growing softwoods will guarantee that more carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere. Wood is an efficient insulator because its cellular structure contains air bubbles that reduce its ability to conduct heat. Another insulation benefit of wood’s cellular structure is that it minimizes contact sounds transfer, which reduces sound rather than amplifying it. As the demand for economical and sustainable building materials increases, wood continues to play a vital role as

a favorable building material, as it is inexpensive, natural, environmentally friendly, energy efficient, simple to use and maintain, and is used more than any other building material to provide sound and attractive structures in Hawaii.

Lumber Facts s As a natural insulator, wood reduces heat transfer from the sun, cooling Hawaiian homes and reducing energy costs by hundreds of dollars every year during the entire life of the home. s Wood-framed structures in Hawaii are designed to be exposed to the weather and high humidity. Additionally, specially engineered wood is used to combat termites and decay fungi. s Lumber is the only renewable, sustainable building material. s With today’s technology, treated lumber is a safe and effective way to protect against termites. s The U.S. and Canada are not running out of trees. There are more trees growing today than 100 years ago. s A wood-framed home is a high quality home and will provide long-term values and comfort in Hawaii’s climate. s Wood is the only building material that uses the sun’s energy to renew itself. s Wood reduces energy and resource use, minimizes pollution, and reduces environmental impact. For more information about lumber and the benefits of building with wood, please visit the Hawaii Lumber Products Association at www.HawaiiLumber.com.

Who is HLPA? Since Hawaii Lumber Products Association (HLPA) was started in 2003, it has worked hard to reach its goal to educate and promote the benefits of building with wood. HLPA is committed to educating the general public, homeowners, commercial builders, designers and architects about the performance, quality, environmental advantages, architectural benefits and cost advantages of wood-frame design and construction. Based on the proven track record of wood and its achievement of long-term performance success in Hawaii’s construction industry, lumber products are a preferred building material. As Hawaii’s only devoted lumber association, HLPA has over 35 members here and across the mainland comprised of professionals representing the development and construction industry. They continue to work hard to make major impacts on the Hawaii and mainland construction industry in order to increase lumber products demand, to increase knowledge of the “greenness” of lumber products and their environmental advantages.


Gas Company Pursuing 50 Percent Renewable Goal By Jill Tokunaga, Vice President Sales & Customer Loyalty The Gas Company

O

ne of the most commonly used buzzwords in the construction industry today is sustainability. From a home’s design to the products being used in construction, more and more consumers and government regulators are calling for builders to make homes that use energy-efficient, low-impact, natural resources. The Gas Company understands the importance of protecting the environmental quality of our state and making efficient use of available and sustainable resources. Gas is a substantial energy saver and,

therefore, a crucial component in the sustainability goals of the design and construction industry today. The Gas Company is constantly working on new ways to use gas as an even more cost-efficient form of energy for Hawaii’s consumers. Gas works best for cooking, water heating and clothes drying. Developers who want to achieve a green building status include gas appliances in the design of residential projects. Modern gas appliances add an attractive selling point for today’s home buyers.

home designs will help their customers save on energy costs and reduce the carbon footprint of homes. The Gas Company’s synthetic natural gas (SNG) plant on Oahu is the only one of its kind in operation in the United States. Through a 1,100-mile pipeline network, the company supplies SNG to nearly 30,000 commercial and residential customers on Oahu. In addition, it supplies propane to more than 40,000 commercial and residential utility customers statewide. Consistent with the State of Hawaii’s goal to reduce its dependence on imported petroleum, The Gas Company also has designed and built a renewable natural gas (RNG) production plant. This facility will process 1 million gallons of non-food grade agricultural oil per year, converting it into renewable gas with exactly the same performance characteristics as the gas now produced from petroleum feedstock. The Gas Company intends to integrate more gas from renewable sources into its existing system, for all of its customers. The renewable natural gas pilot plant is collocated with the existing SNG plant in order to allow maximum efficiency and minimal waste with easy access to our pipeline distribution system. In 2012, The Gas Company will continue to work toward the long-term goal of producing 50 percent of plantmanufactured gas from renewable feedstock sources, assisting in Hawaii’s 30-year goal of reducing petroleum imports by 70 percent. This will help The Gas Company to create an even more secure, cost-efficient way to sustain the future of Hawaii’s energy.


Upgrades to Replace Aging Electric Facilities By Dan Giovanni, Vice President, Energy Delivery Hawaiian Electric Co. (HECO)

B

eneath the streets of Waikiki, upgraded power cables are providing more reliable electric service to the center of Hawaii’s visitor industry. In urban Honolulu, new computerized substation controls will help restore power more quickly during an emergency. Across Oahu, utility poles are being replaced faster than ever to make circuits stronger and more reliable. These are just a few examples of Hawaiian Electric’s grid modernization program, a comprehensive initiative to upgrade the electric system to improve service and make it better equipped to provide clean energy to the people of Oahu. Like many utilities across the nation, Hawaiian Electric installed most of its equipment during the boom years following World War II. More expansion came in the years following statehood. Now, after serving Oahu’s electric customers for decades, that infrastructure is aging and reaching the end of its useful life. It’s time to retire these aging facilities and install upgrades to take advantage of new technology. One example is Hawaiian Electric’s East Oahu Transmission Project. Using $5 million in federal stimulus funding and $10 million in company funds, the project is installing new computerized substation controls in urban Honolulu. Upon completion in 2012, the project will make service more reliable to customers in large portions of eastern Oahu, including Manoa, Waikiki and Kaimuki. In the past, Hawaiian Electric would have needed to install miles of underground power lines to achieve the same results. This kind of work would have required lane closures on major roadways in the area. By taking advantage of new technology, Hawaiian Electric is able to improve service while minimizing construction impacts to the community and at a lower cost to our customers.

As our society becomes increasingly digital, reliable electric service is more important than ever. However, we also need a grid that is flexible enough to integrate new advances in technology

Hawaiian Electric is able to improve service while minimizing construction impacts to the community. and increasing amounts of power generated by the sun, wind and other natural renewable resources. Hawaiian Electric’s grid modernization program aims to accomplish all of these goals.

Positive Progress Hawaiian Electric also is aggressively ramping up its efforts to make needed improvements. Some examples of this progress include: UÊÊI nstalling 97,000 feet of underground power cables in 2011, up from 26,000 in 2010 UÊÊR eplacing 840 utility poles in 2011, up from 600 in 2010 UÊÊR eplacing five transmission structures in 2011 (large towers or pole structures like those seen in mountainous areas) UÊÊU pgrading seven substation transformers in 2011 (large transformers used to send power into entire neighborhoods, approximately 10 times larger than the transformer vaults seen in residential areas)

Housing Growth There are currently nearly 31,000 housing units in Kapolei and more than 25,000 additional units are projected for the region by the year 2035. Kapolei’s housing choices will continue to grow to meet demand with a number of planned residential communities, including Kapolei West and Makaiwa Hills which will have spectacular views of Ko Olina Resort and the ocean beyond. Makaiwa Hills, a planned hillside residential development by Makaiwa Hills LLC, will have 4,200 homes that will include affordable rentals, affordable homes and market homes. Luxury executive homes will be located 1,300 feet above sea level and offer panoramic coastline views. Kapolei West, a planned residential community by Aina Nui Corporation will offer golf course and ocean views at its 2,500-unit development.

Commercial Growth Kapolei’s commercial sector continues to grow and it is expected that commercial space will reach 7.8 million square feet by 2025. The number of jobs in Kapolei has grown by more than 80 percent since 1990 and there are now more than 36,000 jobs 56 CONSTRUCTION PREVIEW 2012

in the region. Job growth is expected to increase by another 186 percent to more than 103,000 in 2035. The planned 351-acre Kapolei Harborside development located next to Kalaeloa Harbor will be the next premier site for business. It is the last significant industrial site on Oahu and will provide an estimated 3,800 high-paying jobs. A project currently moving forward is the Kapolei Sustainable Energy Park, which is a partnership between the James Campbell Company, Forest City, Hoku Solar and Hawaiian Electric Company to build one of Hawaii’s largest solar facilities. James Campbell Company owns the 12-acre site, which was rendered unusable due to industrial waste that was sealed and capped on site. Forest City will develop the solar plant and Hoku Solar will design and install a racking system for the 4,200 solar panels that will sit on top of the cap without disturbing it. Kapolei Commons completed Phase 1 of its development with the opening of Down to Earth, Denny’s, Vitamin Shoppe and Bank of Hawaii over the last year. Still to come are additional stores and restaurants as well as Regal Cinemas and other outlet stores. There are approximately 300 jobs there now with a total of 1,300 at full build-out. Construction of the new Kapolei campus of University of Hawaii West Oahu is proceeding as planned for a fall 2012 opening. The first phase includes classroom and administration buildings to accommodate 3,700 students. At full build-out, the campus is expected to accommodate 7,600 students and 1,000 faculty and staff. Other developments in the region include the recently completed Disney project as well as the continued construction of the FBI building in Kalaeloa.

Infrastructure Developments The first phase of the new Kapolei Interchange was opened in November. This project cost $18.7 million, with the majority coming from federal funds. The remainder, including the donation of 7.8 acres of land, came from Kapolei Property Development and local utility companies. In October, Kapolei Property Development completed and opened sections of Wakea and Ala Kahawai streets in downtown Kapolei that serve the new Cole Academy and other parcels. Roads around the Foodland project, including a portion of Kapolei Parkway, are expected to be completed by the end of the year. The actual road opening is contingent on city approval. In conjunction with the store’s scheduled opening of its Kapolei store early this year, Wal-Mart is making a number of traffic improvements surrounding the store which include: improving the Farrington Highway/ Kealanani Avenue intersection; a dedicated westbound right-turn storage lane; double east-bound left-turn lanes and a new northbound through-lane; and, improvements to the Farrington Highway/ Makakilo Drive intersection with double westbound right-turn lanes and the extension of the east-bound double rightturn lanes. Kapolei Property Development and Wal-Mart will be improving the southbound right-turn and left-turn lanes along Makakilo Drive These will be extended some 270 feet to provide additional storage space for southbound traffic traveling down Makakilo Drive.

Confidence in Kapolei Kapolei continues to hold promise for businesses seeking growth. Over the next 20 years, this confidence in Kapolei’s future is expected to manifest itself in the form of economic activity estimated at $93 billion.


Hawaii in Pause Mode November 2011 State Forecast University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO)

Hawaii’s recovery pace has slowed to a standstill this year. Despite downside risks from the U.S. and abroad, we expect modest gains for the state economy in 2012.

T

his year’s Hawaii slowdown continues to play out, with external risks heightened. While in some respects the local economy remains healthier than the U.S. as a whole, the same general problems are evident here, in particular stagnant labor markets, absent construction, and limited income growth. Hawaii’s recovery process is tenuous and far from complete. Our forecast is for gains as we move into 2012, but not at a pace that will lead to rapid improvement in economic conditions. The construction industry remains in the deep doldrums, although there is now clear evidence of stabilization on Oahu. Statewide contracting jobs have edged into positive territory, rising about 2 percent year-on-year in September. This is all about Honolulu county, with the exception of Kauai, neighbor island construction jobs are still running considerably below last year’s level. Permits for new construction are languishing at low levels. Adjusted for inflation, real building permits for both residential and nonresidential construction are at levels not seen since the early 1980s. We have written in past reports about the prospects for public sector construction to pick up at least part of the slack. Indeed there is a substantial volume of government infrastructure work that should be coming down the pike, including the Gov. Neil Abercrombie’s New Day work projects, massive sewer construction to address problems with the aging Honolulu sewer system and other projects. A number of these programs are already

moving forward, particularly transportation projects, but so far this has not led to any increase in this year’s official figures for government contracts awarded. Instead, the $63 million dollars of public contracts in the second quarter was the lowest level of government contracting since the first quarter of 1984! We continue to expect a marked upturn in public procurement in coming years, with the single biggest contribution coming from rail mass transit construction on Oahu. According to the county’s Financial Plan for Entry into Final Design, issued in September, completion of the necessary full funding agreement with the Federal Transportation Administration is not expected until September 2012. Because of this, as well as downward cost revisions, we have pushed back and lowered somewhat our estimate of the path of rail construction spending. An additional uncertainty is the pending legal challenge in federal court. Still, by late next year we expect rail to be making a substantial contribution to the state construction industry. Again, much of this will be on Oahu with a more tepid construction upturn expected for the neighbor islands. Residential real estate in the islands has lost some ground this year after rallying a bit in 2010. On Oahu, in the year to September, resale volume is off 2.2 percent and the median single- family home price is down more than 4 percent. Volumes are up on each of the neighbor islands, but median prices are down 6.0 percent 8.6 percent. On Maui and to a lesser extent the Big Island there is still a clear downward trend with no sign of price stabilization. There continues to be a substantial foreclosure overhang, equal to at least two months of resale inventory. Figures for new foreclosure

actions are down considerably from a year ago, but this is artificial, reflecting the effective moratorium that resulted from statutory changes during the past legislative session. Employment gains began in the islands at the beginning of 2010, and the number of payroll jobs reported in the separate establishment survey began to pick up about nine months later. Recovery by both measures has largely stalled out in recent months, although year-to-date averages remain in positive territory compared with the first nine months of 2010. The statewide unemployment rate has moved back up to 6.4 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis, from 6 percent in June. The statewide payroll job count in September was about equal to that of January 2011 and still 5 percent below the December 2007 peak. Clearly the jobs recovery has been disappointing. While the rather gloomy external environment will create headwinds, we do expect a resumption of limited job recovery in coming months. After 1.2 percent growth in 2011, non-farm payroll jobs will expand by 1.7 percent in 2012, with firming to 2.1 percent in 2013 as the U.S. and global economies get more firmly back on track. Recent new claims for unemployment benefits have shown promising signs, and we do expect the downward drift in unemployment to resume; how much of a burden still-high unemployment will impose on local families will be importantly impacted by whether Congress decides on a further extension of longterm unemployment compensation. Hawaii’s slowing this year has been disappointing, but not particularly surprising. The dynamic snap-back of tourism last year raised hopes of a broader acceleration of activity here, but this was not to be. Instead, the underlying economic challenges reasserted themselves, including foreign continued on page 58 2012 CONSTRUCTION PREVIEW 57


Tourism Industry’s Resilience in Islands Hasn’t Yet Spread to Construction, Other Sectors By Dr. Leroy O. Laney Economic Adviser to First Hawaiian Bank and Professor of Economics and Finance, Hawaii Pacific University

Forecast for 2012 2011 (estimate) Job Growth +1.3 percent Unemployment Rate 6.2 percent Inflation +3.0 percent Visitor Arrivals +3.0 percent Real Personal Income Growth +1.0 percent

2012 (forecast) +1.2 percent 5.5 percent +1.5 percent +2.6 percent +0.9 percent

H

awaii’s outlook for 2012 is likely to be somewhat more downbeat than was envisioned just a few months ago. The events affecting this include European debt problems and our own debt debate in Washington, a national story with implications here in Hawaii and everywhere else.

Chart 2 – Construction completed growth But other indicators in this industry don’t show cause for great optimism. Construction completed, taken from the tax base, is one widely used concurrent indicator. Chart 2 shows continuing weakness.

PRIVATE AGENCIES

Chart 1 – Construction job growth The tourism industry has been the strongest contributor to the gradual recovery of the Hawaii economy following the most recent recession. Unfortunately, the revival in the visitor industry hasn’t spread to other sectors of the economy very well. Chart 1 shows construction job growth in the islands. Construction is always an important component of economic growth, but – as elsewhere – it lags considerably in Hawaii. The monthly job growth numbers for this industry have recently edged back into positive territory. All of this is attributable to Oahu; neighbor islands continue to lose construction jobs.

Chart 3 – Private permit growth And private construction permit growth (Chart 3), a better leading indicator, continues to fall. Permits for private residential construction are still weak, like elsewhere, because the overhang of foreclosures and short sales makes buying an existing home more affordable than a new one. And public budget constraints retard public works spending. A large project like rail transit could boost Oahu construction

ances. Against this backdrop, we have seen stock market selloffs and faltering consumer spending. The biggest present risk is in Europe, where a euro zone that is probably already in recession could be crushed by the sovereign debt crisis

if political will is not found to drive a comprehensive solution. The U.S. economy and Hawaii can avoid falling into outright recession if Europe manages to get things right. We are counting on that.


next year, but uncertainty still surrounds the timing of this project. In this climate, the impotence of national policy is increasingly sinking in. Monetary policy has done about all it can. Fiscal policy has shown a similar ineffectiveness, with a recent schizophrenia between balancing the budget and additional fiscal stimulus. Even under the best of circumstances, the recovery will continue to be much slower than usual. The best scenario is a slight, but only slight, acceleration for 2012. Despite talk about a “double-dip� recession, I’m not predicting one for Hawaii. Nonetheless, practically all forecasters – local, national, and global – have been revising down their forecasts recently.

recent past is slower acceleration in the future. And we are reminded once again that we do sell a luxury good to the rest of the world; a trip to Hawaii can be cut back in tougher times. Growth in visitor arrivals has been running over 3 percent so far in 2011, but that could mean slightly slower growth next year. REAL PERSONAL INCOME GROWTH ˆ PERCENT IN Inflation-adjusted personal income growth, the broadest measure we forecast, usually corresponds closely to

state Gross Domestic Product. Economic conditions have weakened across the globe as 2011 has progressed, and there are enough threats that forecasters only hope to avoid the all too real possible setbacks – including potential double-dip U.S. recession and magnified fallout from Europe. Avoiding another recession is still quite possible, especially for a tourism-driven service economy that has demonstrated relative resilience so far. But we shouldn’t look for much above the 1 percent range for real personal income growth in the near future.

Our forecast for 2012: JOB GROWTH ˆ 1.2 percent in 2012: Partly in light of the fragile U.S. national recovery and lower confidence levels, the outlook is for only muted job growth (1.3 percent) for 2011 as a whole, with only a minor variation in 2012. Most of Hawaii’s job growth will occur in the private sector, with the public sector remaining a drag. The problem with faster job growth in 2012 is that the growing sectors have not shown much propensity to spread to other weaker sectors. UNEMPLOYMENT ˆ 5.5 percent in 2012: Hawaii’s jobless rate has been hovering just above 6 percent recently, and the average for 2011 may come in about that. If the local economy strengthens some and manages to avoid setbacks from external sources, a marginal improvement is possible in 2012.

INFLATION ˆ 1.5 percent in 2012: Local inflation was 3.5 percent in the first half of 2011, but if we manage to avoid things like oil price shocks it can be considerably lower in 2012. Inflation is not the primary economic concern nowadays – economic recovery still is. Hawaii might even welcome a higher inflation rate if it would bring with it a stronger economy and a recovery in home prices.
