This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Kenner, Louisiana. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The Parish of Jefferson is hereby soliciting the submittal of a Statement of Qualifications (Technical Evaluation Committee (TEC) Questionnaire) from persons or firms interested and qualified to support an anticipated FEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Scoping award to reduce flood risk and subsidence by identifying stormwater management solutions, with an emphasis on green infrastructure, in the Bucktown neighborhood of Metairie. Proposed solutions will be developed with hydraulic and hydrologic modeling and FEMA validated benefit cost analysis. Jefferson Parish anticipates using the work as the basis for a forthcoming BRIC application to support construction, or other federal funding submission opportunity that may arise. The general scope of the project includes the following which will be further refined during contract negotiation: Coordination with relevant Parish administrative departments and/or Council Offices, including but not limited to: Floodplain Management & Hazard Mitigation, Drainage, Ecosystem and Coastal Management, Planning, Engineering, Streets, Parkways, Environmental Affairs and Council District 5. Advanced 2-dimensional (2D) Hydraulic and Hydrologic (H+H) Modeling to holistically evaluate the existing stormwater conditions and validate potential solutions. The team will produce a final modeling report and methodology that justifies the selection of the preferred solution(s). Alternatives Analysis and Solution(s) Development to identify the preferred suite of structural and/or non-structural flood risk reduction measures. Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) using the FEMA approved BCA tool or other methodology accepted by FEMA. The team will be expected to produce a BCA methodology that clearly articulates the rationale for all benefits claimed. Public Engagement with the Bucktown neighborhood and key stakeholders to inform and solicit feedback on the overall project intent and timeline, alternatives considered, and the preferred solution(s) and residual flood risk. It is preferred that the team have visualization and communications skills to clearly communicate all H+H modeling, alternatives analysis, preferred solution, and residual risk to the public. Project Scoping, Engineering and Cost Estimating to support the preferred solution(s) and inform the BCA. Projects may include the following supplemental services: surveying and geotechnical services The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time
