Description
The City of New Orleans issued a closed solicitation (Contract No. 1364) for the design‑build construction of two elevated water storage tanks (Panola and Claiborne) along with extensive site‑preparation, demolition, utility removal, and associated mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation work. The scope includes mobilization, demolition of roadway and parking structures, removal and replacement of power duct banks, construction of the tanks, yard work, and installation of process piping, electrical, and control systems. Two firms submitted lump‑sum bids of roughly $20 million each, but the award decision is not disclosed in the available documents. This opportunity would suit companies experienced in heavy civil construction, tank fabrication, and integrated MEP (mechanical‑electrical‑plumbing) services.
• Demolition & site prep (roadway, parking lot, power duct bank)
• New elevated storage tank construction at two sites (Panola & Claiborne) with full yard infrastructure
• Integrated piping, electrical, and instrumentation/control installations for the tanks
• Lump‑sum contract valued at approximately $20 million per bidder; engineer’s estimate around $30 million
