RS 48:2186
§2186. Contracts; construction and law enforcement
A. Contracts of a compact for the construction, improvement, repair, or maintenance of any municipal street system project, parish-related project, or project of a compact as defined in R.S. 48:2172(9) shall be made and awarded pursuant to Chapter 10 of Title 38 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950.
B. Exceptions shall be made for publicly funded improvements made to private railway property under contract to the compact for a public benefit, where the labor organizations of the private railway have agreements to carry out work on such property. In this case, the granted public benefit by the private railway company shall be considered an intangible asset owned by the compact.
C. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, a compact may contract with a private entity to provide services for design, cost estimate, feasibility studies, operations, management and construction management services, provided that any contract awarded for such services shall be awarded only after the compact drafts and uses a request for proposal seeking proposals from qualified providers. Notice of such requests for proposal shall be published twice, once a week for two weeks, in the official journal of the compact and once in at least one trade journal.
Such notice shall give a brief description of the services sought, where a complete request for proposal form may be obtained, and the deadline for response to the proposal, which shall be no less than thirty days from the last publication in the official journal. Nothing in this Subsection shall be construed to allow contracts for the construction, improvement, repairs, or maintenance of railways to be awarded in any manner other than as set forth in Subsection A of this Section.
D. A compact created hereunder shall contract with the state police, a law enforcement district, or a municipal law enforcement agency for law enforcement and patrol functions.
