REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
FOR
2022 STANDBY CONTRACT FOR
DEBRIS REMOVAL AND SITE MANAGEMENT FOR DEBRIS REDUCTION, EMERGENCY ROADWAY DEBRIS CLEARANCE AND WATERWAY DEBRIS
 
The Parish of Livingston is soliciting a Request for Proposal (RFP)/Solicitation from professionals to provide debris removal and site management for debris reduction, emergency roadway debris clearance and waterway debris services in the event of a natural or manmade catastrophe.
 
Our community is subject to the ravages of such disasters and catastrophes.  Therefore, as set forth by FEMA, each community should be prepared in advance for such an occurrence. One step in this process is to contract with qualified firms for them to be on standby to assist immediately in the Response, Logistics, and/or Recovery from any such disaster.
 
We are therefore soliciting proposals from experienced disaster management and emergency response firms for debris removal and site management services. This solicitation contains detailed requirements and directions.  Please follow them very closely.  Failure to follow these directions, provide the required attachments, or submit the proposal in the required format, may lead to disqualification.
 
Proposers shall be judged on multiple criteria, not primarily on price, and the firm or firms found to be the most qualified and in the Owner’s best interest shall be selected.  Minority, women-owned, and small disadvantaged businesses are encouraged to participate. 
 
Interested parties are invited to obtain a Request for Proposal package by contacting Ms. Brandi Janes at (225) 686-3066 or by sending an e-mail request to [email protected] or by mailing a written request to Ms. Brandi Janes, Director, P.O. Box 1060, Livingston, LA 70754.
