Honolulu Rapid Transit Facebook Page / HART Details of the two bids to construct and manage the final 4.2 miles of Honolulu's rail project have been released. The priority listed offerors (PLO) bidding on the city center project were City Center Connection Group and Imua Transit Honolulu. According to the city, both bids were more than a billion dollars higher than the affordability limit -- the highest the city was willing to accept -- to design and build the rail project from Dillingham Boulevard to Ala Moana Center. "Both came in . . . almost $1.3 billion above the affordability limits. That was 60% higher than anticipated," said Mayor Kirk Caldwell during a press conference yesterday afternoon. "And to get that price down, it would be nearly impossible."
