The New Orleans District, US Army Corps of Engineers (CEMVN) seeks to purchase Bottomland Hardwood (BLH) mitigation bank credits located in the Lake Pontchartrain and Mississippi River Basin watersheds, as specified below, to compensate for unavoidable habitat losses caused by the construction of the Comite River Diversion (Comite) Project and the East Baton Rouge Parish Watershed Flood Risk Management (EBR) Project. As part of CEMVN’s plan to mitigate for unavoidable impacts to BLH habitat caused by construction of the Comite and EBR Projects, CEMVN will purchase BLH mitigation bank credits to compensate for impacts in the Lake Pontchartrain and Mississippi River Basins. The bank(s) from which credits will be purchased will be selected through a competitive solicitation/award process. Any mitigation bank meeting the eligibility requirements and having the appropriate resource type of credits may submit a proposal to sell credits. CEMVN may enter into one or more contracts to purchase the amount of credits necessary to meet 100% of CEMVN’s need at the time of purchase; however, CEMVN may purchase a lesser quantity of credits than it requires to meet 100% of its need. A separate contract shall be executed for each bank credit purchase. Award will be based on lowest price.
