NOEL has partnered with the Jefferson Parish Department of Community Development (JPDCD) to complete an Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program (OOR). OOR is funded with United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HOME funds. NOEL will oversee the implementation of all construction projects completed under OOR.

NOEL is releasing eight (8) 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 have two (2) OOR projects underway at any one time.

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 two projects, they will not be eligible for any additional projects until those projects are complete.

Pre-Bid Conference: A pre-bid conference will be held on a date, time, and location indicated in the timeline below. It is NOT mandatory for bidders to attend the pre-bid conference in order to bid, but highly encouraged.

Site Visits: NOEL and JPDCD staff will coordinate site visits to each of the eight (8) 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 at the pre-bid conference, or 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. Program staff will be present at the site during the site visit, but will not answer any questions about the scope of work or project at that time. All bidders must vacate the property at the end of the site visit.
