Honolulu has been planning a rapid transit project for more than 25 years. This capital city of Hawaii has a resident population of more than 850,000 and a de facto population (residents plus military and visitors) of more than a million each day. The population is primarily contained in a dense corridor on the leeward side of the island of Oahu stretching approximately 40 mi. The business and economic centers are even more condensed within the corridor, consisting primarily of Waikiki, Kakaako, downtown, Iwilei, airport, and Pearl Harbor. In November 1990 the city and county of Honolulu issued a request for proposals to procure its system. The procurement was unique in several ways: technology was not preselected but the system had to be automatic (driverless); turnkey operation would include design, build, operate, transfer (DBOT); fixed-price bids with a very detailed cost proposal were required; and joint development proposals were strongly encouraged but would be evaluated separately.
