St. Tammany Parish Government's Procurement Department is issuing a Notice of Quote Request for the Cherry Street Drainage Phase 2 project in Slidell, Louisiana, a drainage improvement initiative requiring contractor services for labor, equipment, materials, and supervision. The scope of work encompasses the removal, replacement, and repair of concrete and asphalt driveways, removal and replacement of driveway culverts, installation of 18-inch equivalent RCPA storm drain pipe (456 linear feet), asphalt driveway and turnout placement (10 tons), concrete driveway removal and replacement (300 square yards), rip rap installation (40 square yards), and sodding work (100 square yards), with all work to be completed within 30 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Sealed quotes must be submitted by 2:00 p.m. on May 28, 2026, with an inquiry deadline of May 20, 2026, and an addendum deadline of May 22, 2026; a mandatory site visitation is required for respondents to familiarize themselves with surface and subsurface conditions. The award will be made to the lowest monetary quote in compliance with the Quote Request, and evaluation will be based on price competitiveness and adherence to all specification requirements. Qualified respondents must possess a state contractor's license for Highway, Street and Bridge Construction if the project cost exceeds $50,000, and all contractors must provide a 100 percent performance bond on projects valued at $25,000 or more. Comprehensive insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), Business Automobile Liability ($1,000,000), Workers' Compensation as mandated by state law, Pollution Liability ($1,000,000/$2,000,000), and Builder's Risk and Installation Floater Insurance at 100 percent of project value.

The procurement documents do not identify specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to disadvantaged enterprises or particular business classifications, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified contractors meeting the stated requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the available documentation. Partial monthly payments will be made at 90 percent of completed work and stored materials, with final payment of the remaining 10 percent issued 45 days after filing acceptance with the Mortgage Office and securing a Clear Liens and Privilege Certificate. Liquidated damages provisions apply based on contract value, ranging from $500 per day for contracts under $250,000 to $3,000 per day for contracts exceeding $10 million. The exact project budget or award value is not explicitly stated in the available documents, though the scope of work and bonding requirements suggest a project valued in the range of $25,000 to potentially several hundred thousand dollars, with final pricing to be determined through the competitive quote process.
