Renovation of a municipal facility in Covington, Louisiana. Completed plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

St Tammany Parish Government is requesting quotes to replace damaged section of pre-cast stone on the Northeast top corner of the Justice Center at 701 N. Columbia Street, Covington LA, 70443. Damage took place during Hurricane Ida, and is at the top of the building, approximately 50' up. This section measures approximately 3' wide by 2' top to bottom. Replacement piece should match existing pieces nearby in profile and color, as closely as possible. All caulking and/or mortar materials should match existing colors as closely as possible as well. A 3' x 3' stone cap, along with some lightning protection cabling and rod, that lays on top of that corner may or may not need to be removed in order to replace damaged section underneath. If removed, these items should be placed back just as they were prior to any work being done. Stone pieces on either side of damaged section should be inspected for additional damages. If any roofing material is affected during the process, repairs to those areas should be made accordingly and tested for leaks. In addition to the above, the same band of pre-cast stone at the top level that continues around the entire building should be inspected and assessed for potential damages or cracking that could cause similar breakage to what occurred at the damaged corner area Each Quote must be sealed. In addition, the outside of the envelope, box or package containing the Quote should be marked with the following information. Name and Address, State Contractor's License Number (if the estimated cost of the work is $50k or more), Quote Number, and the Quote Name. Quotes submitted without this information may be deemed non-responsive St. Tammany Parish Government reserves the right to reject any or all quotes and to waive informalities. All quotes shall be considered valid for acceptance until such time an award is made, unless the Respondent provides for a different time period within its quote. However, the Parish reserves the right to reject a quote if the Respondent's acceptance period is unacceptable and the Respondent is unwilling to extend the validity of its quote. In case the work is not completed in every respect within the time that may be extended, it is understood and agreed that per diem deductions of the sum of $500.00 for liquidated damages, as stipulated in the quote and/or contract, shall be made from the total contract price for each and every calendar day after and exclusive of the day on which completion was required, and up to the completion of the work and acceptance thereof by the Parish. It is understood and agreed that time is of the essence to the contract, and the above sum being specifically herein agreed upon in advance as the measure of damages to the Parish on account of such delay in the completion of the work. It is further agreed that the expiration of the term herein assigned or as may be extended for performing the work shall, ipso facto, constitute a putting in default, the Contractor hereby waiving any and all notice of default. The Contractor agrees and consents that the contract price, reduced by the aggregate of the entire damages so deducted, shall be accepted in full 14 satisfaction of all work executed under the contract. It is further understood and agreed that Contractor shall be liable for a reasonable attorney fee and all costs associated with any breach of this agreement, including but not limited to this subsection. In the event that any dispute or breach herein causes referrals to counsel, then Contractor agrees to pay a reasonable attorney fee at the prevailing hourly rate of the private sector. In no event shall the hourly rate be less than $175.00 per hour.
