Waste removal from Sauvage Bayou

The United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has issued this combined synopsis and solicitation for the removal and remediation of waste found within the Bayou Sauvage Urban National Wildlife Refuge in New Orleans, Louisiana. The project addresses waste that is regulated by APHIS or commingled with regulated material, posing a risk of spreading invasive plant pests and pathogens into the surrounding environment and agricultural areas. Requirements include the deep burial of all regulated waste at a landfill. Because the entry point to the dump site is located on private property, the contractor must assume the lease for this land for the duration of the cleanup process, a lease currently held by APHIS on a temporary basis.

This solicitation, identified by number 12639526Q0091, is categorized under NAICS 238910 for Site Preparation Contractors and PSC Y1PC for Construction of Unimproved Real Property (Land). The opportunity is designated as an SBA set-aside. Project documentation includes 11 attachments, featuring various amendments, site visit attendee lists, requests for information with official responses, and revised federal construction wage rates for Orleans Parish.

Quotes for this project must be submitted by the response deadline of May 29, 2026. Amendments to the solicitation have previously been issued to incorporate revised wage rates and extend the original closing date for submissions. Jim Roloff serves as the point of contact for this requirement.
