The project request issued by Parish President Michael Cooper states, “The first initial task orders will be based on waterways pre-permitted or in the Parish maintenance system. Waterways to be considered in this scope, including those in the Parish maintenance system, pre-permitted, and those not permitted. The parish reserves the right to add or delete waterways.”
According to the RPF, the contractor will be responsible for all labor, equipment, and materials to perform debris removal and disposal service for NCRS eligible and ineligible waterways debris, including construction debris, loose vegetative storm debris, hazardous leaning trees, trees with hanging limbs, hazardous stumps, and other disaster-generated debris, wherein this debris poses an imminent danger and threat to the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents in the jurisdiction of the Parish. The debris shall not be stockpiled along any navigable right of way.
The Emergency Infrastructure Restoration, Debris Removal and Disposal, RFP# 22-5-3, is for storms or other peril such as flooding, wildfires, ice storms, tornados, or other such events. The Parish will determine if the contract will be activated depending on the event’s impact in St. Tammany Parish. The Parish has 2,731 miles of waterways.
