Maui Master Builders ............. 2,555,046 Kula Highway Resurfacing - Haakakai Bridge to Old Lower Kula Road and Honoapiilani Highway Resurfacing - Kapoli Street to Kaheawa Wind Farm Access Road, Makawao and Wailuku Aiea to Get New Library The state Department of Accounting and General Services will soon be procuring a general contractor for the new Aiea Public Library, with bids due April 5. “The new Aiea Public Library will be located on a 2.254-acre site that was part of the former Aiea Sugar Mill property,” explains Carol Sakata, executive vice president of CDS International, the architect for the project. “The 17,135-square-foot building will contain stack space for approximately 78,000 books along with a circulation desk, workroom and a children’s reading room,” Sakata continues. “The building’s interior and exterior design is reminiscent of the old Aiea Sugar Mill. The interior space will have a high, open ceiling with exposed structural elements and air conditioning ducts, and abundance of clerestories and skylights. A tall, gable glass facade will be the focal point for pedestrians and drivers coming up Aiea Heights Drive while opening up the interiors to views of Pearl Harbor. The community room occupies one wing of the structure and is separated from the library proper by the main entrance breezeway to facilitate after-hours use.” The planned parking area is expected to accommodate 53 vehicles. In addition, the project is being designed to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) silver criteria, employing concepts such as daylighting and photovoltaicgenerated electricity. Tentative completion of construction is scheduled for early 2014. Bids are estimated to come in between $5 million and $10 million. Though most of the funding has been appropriated, Senate Bill 2999 requests an additional $1.75 million for the project, which will go primarily toward construction costs as well as furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E). The bill passed its first reading and was referred to the Ways and Means Committee on Jan. 27. If the additional funds are not approved, the project may have to be scaled back, or rely on fundraising and other monies for FF&E.
