THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Council is considering authorization to acquire water system assets from Launiupoko Water Co., Inc. and Olowalu Water Company, Inc. for up to $6,000,000, excluding closing costs and expenses. Bringing these private systems into County ownership will trigger due diligence, integration planning, and eventual operations, maintenance, and capital improvements. Engineering, utility operations, and asset management vendors should view this as a major upcoming transition, with potential work on condition assessments, system upgrades, SCADA, and regulatory compliance once the acquisition proceeds.
Acquisition cap set at up to $6,000,000 under subsection 3.44.015(C), Maui County Code; detailed scope of assets not provided here.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Maui County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Maui County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Maui County before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more utilities government opportunities in Hawaii?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces utilities pre-RFPs in Hawaii as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
