BID REQUESTS
NOEL has partnered with the Jefferson Parish Department of Community Development (JPDCD) to complete a program for homes impacted by Hurricane Isaac. This program is funded with United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) CDBG-DR funds pursuant to PL113-2. NOEL will oversee the implementation of all construction projects completed under this program.
NOEL is releasing 14 bids for construction projects.
Below are the instructions for those interested in participating:
Bidders are welcome to bid on all the projects listed below; however, contractors are only permitted to win four (4) projects, and may only have two (2) projects underway at any one time. Regardless of the number of projects won, all projects must be completed in the time frame listed with each site.
The bids will be opened and scored in the order listed below. Therefore, contractors may bid on all projects; however, once they have been awarded four projects, they will not be eligible for any additional projects until those projects are complete
Site Visits:
NOEL and JPDCD staff will coordinate site visits to each of the 14 project sites. Attending a site visit is not required to bid. If a bidder would like to attend the site-visit, the bidder must RSVP with NOEL. Bidders may RSVP by emailing or calling Philip Thomas at
[email protected]
or (504) 837-2700.
Bidders are ONLY allowed to enter the property during the window of time provided by the program.
