THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The County Engineer briefed Council on partnership talks with DHHL to relocate Wailua Wastewater Treatment Plant to DHHL’s Wailua lands using a shared package plant. DHHL would build a 0.5 MGD facility for its new development; the County is considering adding 1.5 MGD capacity and investing about $50,000,000 for conveyance, reuse lines, and golf course supply. Design, studies, permitting, funding structure, operator, and technology (including non-injection disposal and possible constructed wetlands) are still being worked out. This is early-stage planning for a major wastewater relocation, creating room for engineering, environmental, financing, and program-management vendors to shape solutions and funding strategy.
Council strongly signaled the County should ultimately lead, own, and operate the expanded regional plant, not just be a customer. Options like constructed wetlands and avoiding injection wells are on the table; ADC farmlands and DHHL hotel/cultural center concepts may drive reuse needs.

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 Kauai County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Kauai 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 Kauai 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.
