The Regional Transit Authority (RTA) is seeking bids from qualified, licensed structural contractors for the repair of the canopy-covered walkway structure at the Canal Streetcar Terminal Walkway, located on Canal Blvd, which sustained damage from a fallen tree. The selected contractor will be responsible for conducting a comprehensive pre-repair inspection to assess structural integrity and executing all necessary repairs—including structural framing, roof panels, trim, and decorative elements—using materials that match the original design for a "like-kind" restoration. Repairs must ensure proper alignment, stability, and weatherproofing while adhering to industry standards for durability and safety. Public safety is a top priority throughout this project. The contractor must implement strict safety protocols to protect pedestrians, transit riders, and workers, including: • Establishing a secure work zone with proper barriers, signage, and detours as needed. • Conducting daily site inspections to identify and mitigate hazards. • Maintaining a clean and obstruction-free environment to prevent accidents. • Complying with all OSHA and local safety regulations to minimize risks. Additionally, the contractor must secure all necessary permits from the City of New Orleans, coordinate approvals with the RTA’s project manager, and provide regular progress updates. The project will also require periodic inspections and compliance checks with RTA representatives.
