Environmental Services

The procurement encompasses comprehensive environmental remediation and management services for state properties, including Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to identify potential contamination, Phase II Environmental Site Assessments involving soil and groundwater sampling and analysis, contamination evaluation, and development of remedial action plans for identified contamination. Qualified vendors must demonstrate expertise in site assessment methodologies, environmental sampling protocols, and remedial action planning. The contract is structured with a three-year initial term and two optional one-year renewal periods, providing a maximum contract duration of five years. The procurement employs a unit pricing structure requiring vendors to submit competitive bids for individual environmental assessment and remediation activities. Key deadlines include a posting date of May 11, 2026, and a proposal due date of June 11, 2026, with specific response deadlines, bidders' conferences, site visits, and award dates outlined in the scope of work document. Evaluation criteria include technical qualifications, cost competitiveness, and the vendor's ability to manage complex environmental assessment and remediation projects.

The State of Louisiana has established procurement preferences for Louisiana-based businesses and minority-owned enterprises consistent with state procurement policies, which may influence vendor selection and evaluation. Prospective vendors should review current environmental conditions at subject properties and historical contamination data available through the state to facilitate accurate cost estimation and project timeline development. The contract funding is provided through the State of Louisiana's environmental remediation budget and may include federal or state environmental grant funds depending on specific project allocations. Vendors should identify any incumbent contractors or existing relationships with state environmental agencies, as this information may impact proposal evaluation and transition planning. While specific award values or budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, vendors should note that the three-to-five-year contract term with multiple properties under assessment suggests a substantial procurement opportunity with significant potential contract value.
