Gymnasium Mechanical Improvements at Elijah Brimmer School

Orleans Parish School Board is requesting sealed bids for gymnasium mechanical improvements at Elijah Brimmer School (5624 Freret Street, New Orleans, Louisiana) under ITB 26-FAC-0110, with bids due August 20, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CDT. Bidders must be licensed under Louisiana Revised Statutes 37:2150-2163 for Mechanical and Electrical Construction classification — the binding eligibility requirement.

A pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 6, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the Elijah Brimmer School Gymnasium; while attendance is not required, bidders must state on the bid form that they are familiar with the project site. Sealed bids will be opened and read aloud publicly at bid time.

Bid security equal to five percent of the base bid and all alternates is required, in the form of a certified check, cashier's check, or an Orleans Parish School Board Bid Bond Form written by a Louisiana-licensed surety meeting specified financial rating requirements. The successful bidder must furnish Performance and Payment Bonds equal to 100% of the contract amount, with sureties meeting Treasury List approval or Louisiana domicile requirements with specified A.M. Best's ratings.

Bids may not be withdrawn for thirty days after receipt except under provisions of LA R.S. 38:2214. The project will be financed in whole or in part by federal or other funds not readily available at bid time, which exempts the Orleans Parish School Board from the forty-five-day contract award requirement under Louisiana law.
