Procurement of two (2) fully trained Border Collies from Kuykendall Border Collies, LLC to Perform Wildlife Damage Management for the Hokuala Resort K9 Project
Project Hōkūala Resort K9 Hazing Project General Information 1.0 Scope of Work Provide a brief statement of the overall project, including goals and objectives. The Hōkūala Resort is a property adjacent to Lihue Airport, the Part-139 airport servicing the island of Kauai. The presence of the Hawaiian goose or nēnē (Branta sandvicensis) poses considerable bird aircraft strike hazard risk to the daily operations at the airport, threatening human health and safety.

Because Hawai-i is rabies free, there is State of Hawai`i law requiring a rabies titer be conducted on the K9 120 days before it can be admitted into the state. Additionally, the K9s require a health certificate specific to Hawai`i. Border collies shall be fully trained as goose-dogs, with a strong desire to work and the ability to work long hours. T...
