No 07 Mānoa Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting June 2026

The No 07 Mānoa Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting held on June 4, 2026, primarily focused on community updates, emergency preparedness, and local infrastructure concerns. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on the Alawawaii bridge project, where the Department of Transportation Services issued a request for qualifications prior to completing the NEPA environmental review process, leveraging federal allowances for design-build procurement activities. Additionally, a $1.4 million allocation was secured for a comprehensive watershed debris management and flood risk reduction strategy, matched by state funds and included in the CIP budget. The meeting also covered the demolition and site work of the vacant PBS Hawaii building at the Mānoa Eva parcel, with ongoing feasibility studies and negotiations for a three-year facilities use agreement. No formal votes on contracts or procurement were recorded, but several budget and capital improvement project updates were provided. The board also discussed procedural matters, community engagement, and environmental review processes relevant to future development and infrastructure projects.
