The Hawaii Department of Public Safety (PSD) provides correctional and law enforcement services to Hawaii’s communities with professionalism, integrity, and fairness. With increasingly aged and obsolete correctional facilities, PSD is proposing to modernize existing facilities where feasible and construct new institutions to replace others where necessary. Among the priority projects is replacement of the Oahu Community Correctional Center (OCCC).

A new OCCC will employ the latest cost-savings technologies, allow PSD to better meet the needs of the offender population, and provide for the continued safety and security of offenders, staff and the public. With the planning process well underway, this page will be regularly updated with current information regarding the OCCC project, public outreach activities, and milestones and accomplishments.

With the passage of time, correctional facilities have grown aged and obsolete with the State proposing to improve its corrections infrastructure through modernization of existing facilities when possible and construction of new institutions to replace others when necessary. Among the State’s priority projects is development of a new Oahu Community Correctional Center (OCCC) to replace the current OCCC located at 2199 Kamehameha Highway, in the Kalihi neighborhood of Honolulu. Leading the effort is the Hawaii Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) which has issued this Request for Interest (RFI) to ascertain interest in development of the new OCCC.

The information, input, and advice received from Respondents to the RFI will inform and/or refine assumptions and expectations regarding the planning, procurement and eventual delivery of the new OCCC.
