Project-Specific Nonavailability Waiver of Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) Requirements to the Hawaii Department of Water Supply for Emergency Well Repair Pump Prepositioning for Deep Well Pump Assemblies

Procurement Summary

Project-specific waiver for the Hawaii Department of Water Supply, on the Island of Hawaii. The project consists of deep well repair and replacement of pump assemblies, where the replacement assemblies will be pre-positioned and made ready for use. The project requires Baker Hughes pump assemblies including submersible motor, sensor with surface choke panel, surface electronics panel, sensor cable, and non-shielded, armored pump cable. Due to months long lead times on replacement products, the intent of the waiver is to prevent a lengthy shut-down of one of the two deep wells on the island. Baker Hughes assemblies are required for the system to resume full integration and fully efficient, synced operations.
