This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for weekly solid waste removal services at Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park (KAHO) in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Managed by the National Park Service (NPS), the contract requires the contractor to supply, maintain, and empty one 6-cubic yard dumpster once per week. Park staff will transport daily visitor trash to this central dumpster, located behind a park gate. The contractor must provide all necessary management, labor, equipment, and vehicles, ensuring that the dumpster is secure from spills and free of rust, holes, and organic debris. Strict biosecurity measures are enforced to prevent the introduction of invasive species (such as little fire ants and Rapid 'Ōhi'a Death); all contractor vehicles and equipment must be pressure washed, free of dirt, and pass NPS inspections before entering the park. Additionally, the contractor must develop a Quality Control Plan (QCP), adhere to scheduled weekly pickup times during standard weekday operating hours (Monday–Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. HST), and avoid working on weekends or federal holidays. To protect the park's sensitive natural and archaeological resources, all driving and maneuvering must be restricted strictly to designated roads and driveways.

This informational document from the National Park Service (NPS) details the history, ecological significance, and visitor guidelines for Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park in Hawaii. Established in 1978, the park preserves a coastal section of five traditional Hawaiian land divisions, known as ahupuaʻa, which stretch from the mountain of Hualālai to the sea. The document highlights how ancient Hawaiians managed water and coastal resources through the ahupuaʻa system, recognizing the interdependence of upland (mauka) and coastal (makai) environments. Central to this system are the park's historic loko (fishponds and fishtraps)—including the Kaloko and 'Aimakapā fishponds and the 'Ai'ōpio fishtrap—which utilized sophisticated engineering like stone kuapā (walls) and mākāhā (sluice gates) to cultivate fish. In addition to historic preservation, the park serves as a critical habitat for native wildlife, such as the honu (green sea turtle), ae‘o (Hawaiian stilt), and 'alae ke'oke'o (Hawaiian coot). For modern visitors, the park offers recreational opportunities, including hiking trails (Ala Mauka Makai, the coastal trail, and Māmalahoa Trail), snorkeling, and wildlife viewing. The document outlines strict federal regulations to protect these sacred cultural sites and natural resources, emphasizing trail safety, wildlife protection, and the preservation of historic features like petroglyphs (ki'i pōhaku) and temple sites (heiau).
