HRS §53-9
How the agency can do work on acquired land
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗The redevelopment agency can clear acquired areas and fix up buildings, but cannot rebuild or enlarge them, except for government buildings. For work costing more than $1,000, the agency must follow the state's competitive bidding rules.
The statute, as written — Work on acquired areas; competitive contracts

The redevelopment agency may, by letting of contracts therefor, or by using its own employees, clear the acquired areas and maintain and repair or rehabilitate, but not reconstruct or enlarge, any structure (except structures to be held and used by the government for public purposes); provided that any work, the estimated cost of which is in excess of $1,000, shall be let only in accordance with chapter 103D.
