Orleans Parish School Board is requesting bids for a 24-month lease of approximately 2 acres at 2832 General Meyer Avenue in New Orleans under ITB 654321-27-FAC-0059, with proposals due October 20, 2026 and a mandatory site visit on October 7. The lease runs December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2028, with an option for two additional one-year extensions subject to board approval.

The reserve price is a minimum of $12,000 annually ($1,000 monthly), and the lease will be awarded to the highest bidder based on annual rental offer. All bids must include a cash payment or certified check equal to one year's rental amount as required by Louisiana Revised Statute 17:87.8. The property is offered in its current condition; the lessee assumes full responsibility for site maintenance, utility establishment and funding, permits, property improvements, and insurance — including commercial general liability coverage with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. The lessee also covers all costs associated with lease preparation and recording, and the school board provides no district funding for improvements or operational costs.

Questions are due by 4:00 P.M. on October 9, 2026, with a final addendum deadline of October 13. Electronic proposals must reach the Procurement Department by 11:00 A.M. on October 20. Award notification and lease execution dates are to be determined.
