Listing Information/Advertisement

The Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority – East (“Authority” or “SLFPAE”) covers three consolidated districts: East Jefferson Levee District, Orleans Levee District, and Lake Borgne Basin Levee District.

Our mission is to ensure the physical and operational integrity of the regional flood risk management system, and to work with local, regional, state and federal partners to plan, design and construct projects that will reduce the probability and risk of flooding for the residents within our jurisdiction. 

SLFPAE invites interested contractors qualified to provide Pre- and Post-Event Complex Structure Maintenance and Operation Services (RFQ 2017-003) to submit Qualifications. The Authority intends to pre-qualify contractors for future competitive bidding for operation and maintenance of flood control structures and facilities owned and operated by SLFPAE. Operation may be required due to the oncoming threat of a storm, after a storm has passed, or as part of a routine maintenance plan. The contractors may also be required to provide rapid repairs to structures before a storm event if operations are hindered in some way or after a storm event if the structure has been damaged.

Minimum Qualification Requirements – The Authority is seeking to procure one or more qualified and experienced firm(s) with extensive expertise in Flood Control Facility Maintenance and Operations as required by the Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”). The firm must possess a minimum of five (5) years’ experience in operating, maintaining and providing emergency repairs to movable protective flood control features and must have a proven record of successfully completing projects with a similar size, scope, and complexity.
