Description
This solicitation called for a contractor to construct and install a sludge‑dryer system at the East Bank Waste Water Treatment Plant, along with mobilization and minor mechanical repairs. Two firms submitted bids, but the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans rejected all proposals and announced a re‑bid, leaving the opportunity open for qualified bidders.
• Core work: design, construct, and install a large‑scale sludge dryer (lump‑sum).
• Ancillary tasks: site mobilization, repair of seven columns and six wind‑post structures (unit‑price).
• Estimated contract value ranges from roughly $6.8 M to $9.5 M, depending on the selected vendor.
• Competition was limited (only two bidders), suggesting a strong chance for firms with relevant wastewater‑treatment equipment experience to win the forthcoming re‑bid.
