The City is currently facilitating a contract protest for the first of nine planned construction projects designed to improve infrastructure in the Filmore neighborhood. The Filmore North Group A construction contract is delayed until the contract protest is resolved. Construction is still anticipated to begin later this year.
The estimated budget including engineering, design, geotechnical testing and construction planned for the entire Filmore neighborhood is approximately $67M. This budget is likely to change pending project bids and construction costs.
Designed by Professional Engineering Consultants Corporation (PEC), the first project will include a variety of work that varies by block with some waterline replacements:
- Patch Mill / Overlay: Repaving the asphalt roadway from curb to curb and repairing damaged sidewalks;
- Patch Concrete: Removing damaged portions of the concrete roadway and replacing them with new, smooth concrete pavement;
- Incidental Road Repairs: Removing damaged portions of the asphalt roadway and replacing them with new, smooth pavement; and
- Non-Paving Incidentals: Repairing damaged sidewalks, driveway aprons and curbs within the public right-of-way.
The City will host a pre-construction public meeting to discuss anticipated construction impacts prior to the start of construction. To be added to the project contact list, and to track our progress, visit RoadWork.nola.gov.
