Central Catholic Window Wall Replacement

The Diocese of Houma‑Thibodaux is seeking contractors to replace the window wall system at Central Catholic in Morgan City, Louisiana, which was damaged by Hurricane Francine. The project’s base‑bid estimate is $850,000 and requires a licensed building‑construction contractor with a valid state license. Bidders must submit a sealed bid envelope (or electronic bid) by the deadline and provide a bid bond, certified check, or cashier’s check equal to at least 5 % of the bid amount. The contract documents are available for a $100 deposit and must be returned in good condition for a partial refund. Key points include: • Scope: complete removal and replacement of existing window wall assemblies with new construction. • Mandatory licensing: Louisiana Building Construction license in effect on bid date. • Bid security: 5 % of bid amount in bond or cash, with special form required for bonds. • Pre‑bid conference (non‑mandatory) will be announced; attendance encouraged. • Documents available from the diocesan office and the architect (Carl P. Blum AIA).
