Engineering and Planning Services for Amelia Levee – Bayou Boeuf Project

The Assumption Parish Police Jury is soliciting qualifications for engineering and planning services for Phase I of the Amelia Levee – Bayou Boeuf Project (TE-0192), with responses due November 2, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. No set-aside, preference program, or sole-source intent is stated. Written inquiries closed October 27, 2026. A blackout period runs from October 6, 2026 through contract award.

The Phase I study will define a regional flood risk reduction strategy for the Lake Verret Basin, Bayou Boeuf, and Bayou Chene areas. It must evaluate hurricane storm surge, riverine flooding, and rainfall-driven drainage and backwater flooding, and assess how existing and proposed flood-control, drainage, navigation, and operational features affect risk. The consultant must develop and evaluate a reasonable range of alternatives, including structural, conveyance, pumping, operational, and alignment concepts. The project is not predetermined to a single solution. The deliverable is a science-supported implementation roadmap for coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies on potential future federal participation. Engineering license verification is required before specifications are distributed.

The source lists Allen Parish and New Orleans City as jurisdictions. The opportunity is categorized under Architectural and Engineering services, and seven bidding plan holders were visible at publication. The public notice ran October 6, 13, and 20, 2026.

Responses may be submitted through the Assumption Parish website, the Central Bidding website, hand delivery to the APPJ office at 4813 Highway 1, Napoleonville, LA 70390, or certified mail to P.O. Box 520, Napoleonville, LA 70390. A five-member committee appointed by APPJ will open and evaluate qualifications.
