The New Orleans Redevelopment Authority (NORA) is requesting proposals from qualified environmental consultants to provide environmental consulting services. NORA’s projects and programs receive funding from various sources, including federal, state, local, and private funds. This includes funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), such as Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), Neighborhood Stabilization Program II (NSP2), and HOME federal funds. Many of the projects are subject to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and related federal environmental review requirements. Therefore, NORA requires professional environmental consulting services to prepare environmental assessments, prepare compliance documentation, and maintain Environmental Review Records (ERRs).
The contract resulting from this RFP shall be structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, under which individual Task Orders will be issued as service needs arise. Compensation for services under each Task Order will be based on the rates and fees established in the contracted fee schedule. Services may include, but are not limited to, technical support during project planning and implementation; coordination with the responsible entity for environmental reviews; preparing cost estimates and scopes of work for environmental remediation activities; documenting unanticipated environmental conditions; and verifying compliance with NEPA, HUD regulations, and other applicable federal, state, and local requirements. The selected environmental consultant may also be required to coordinate with and oversee qualified subcontractors performing remediation or abatement activities.
