Description
This opportunity concerns the post‑bid tabulation for a massive Hurricane Katrina recovery effort at the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans’ main water‑purification plant. The scope covers comprehensive repair, replacement, and upgrade of boiler and steam‑generation equipment, associated ductwork, elevators, instrumentation, electrical systems, and related civil‑structural components. The total base‑bid value is approximately $18 million, with several alternative cost‑reduction scenarios presented. The work will be performed on‑site at the plant in New Orleans and will likely require specialized contractors in industrial boiler repair, HVAC, water‑treatment plant systems, and heavy‑civil construction.
• Replace and re‑tube boilers #1‑#6 and associated steam‑drums, mud‑drums, and feed‑water treatment equipment.
• Repair and upgrade ductwork, elevators, lighting, handrails, and structural grating throughout the plant.
• Install, calibrate, and replace a wide range of instrumentation (pressure transmitters, temperature sensors, oxygen analyzers, etc.) and emission‑monitoring controls.
• Conduct demolition, mobilization, insurance, bonding, and other general contractor services.
• Provide FEMA‑eligible repairs totaling roughly $17.6 million, indicating disaster‑relief funding.
