RFP - Emergency Remediation Services - ADDENDUM NO 2

St. Tammany Parish Government is soliciting proposals for a pre-positioned emergency remediation services contract through RFP #25-7-3, targeting potential disaster recovery needs for approximately 83 parish-owned buildings. The comprehensive contract seeks a qualified disaster restoration contractor capable of providing immediate emergency services including water damage restoration, mold remediation, fire/smoke damage recovery, temporary roofing, debris removal, HVAC decontamination, and related disaster recovery work. Proposals are due December 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, with contractors required to submit one signed original, four copies, and one electronic copy via USB. The evaluation committee will assess proposals across seven key criteria: compliance (15 points), project understanding (10 points), approach (15 points), performance capability (20 points), proposer qualifications (20 points), overall costs (10 points), and certified small entrepreneurship status (10 points). The contract term extends from the Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2026, with potential renewal for two additional one-year terms. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence general liability, workers' compensation, pollution liability, and automobile liability, with St. Tammany Parish Government named as additional insured.

The procurement includes specific set-aside provisions, reserving 10 percent of total evaluation points for certified Veterans Initiative or Hudson Initiative small entrepreneurship participants. Contractors must be licensed in Louisiana, hold IICRC Flood Certification and Water Damage Restoration Technician/Applied Structural Drying Certification, and obtain performance bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price. As a federally grant-funded project, proposers must secure a Unique Entity Identification (UEI) number. The contract is a pre-positioned arrangement with no guaranteed work volume, meaning actual services will be initiated only upon official disaster declaration, requiring contractor mobilization within two hours of notification. Pricing must remain firm for the entire contract duration, with rates submitted on the provided Attachment "A" pricing sheet, which includes hourly labor rates and equipment rental rates for various remediation and support equipment. While no specific budget range is detailed, the comprehensive nature of potential services and the parish's ownership of 83 buildings suggests significant potential for emergency remediation work.
