Provide Professional Engineering Services for the Lafitte Bike Path

The Parish of Jefferson is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (TEC Professional Services Questionnaire) for persons or firms interested and qualified to provide professional engineering services for the Lafitte Bike Path. The scope of work consists of designing 2.75 miles of new bike paths in Lafitte from existing Wetland Trace northward toward LA Highway 45 and then eastward along the highway. The project aims to promote tourism and commerce by installing new bike paths and connecting the bike path to the existing Wetland Trace boardwalk, expanding accessibility to natural features further up Bayou Barataria and along LA Highway 45. • The project requires professional engineering services, including traffic engineering, landscape architecture, geotechnical services, land surveying, and resident inspection. • The compensation for the required design services will be made on an hourly rate basis or a fixed fee basis, or a combination of both, depending on the scope and complexity of the work. • The Parish reserves the right to determine the method of payment (hourly or fixed) for each individual assignment. • The selected firm will be required to submit a Statement of Qualifications, including information on the firm's experience, qualifications, and approach to the project. • The evaluation criteria will include professional training and experience, size of firm, capacity for timely completion, past performance, location of principal office, and prior successful completion of projects.
