The Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for design and permit support services for the "Louisiana International Terminal," which the port plans to build in the town of Violet, La., within St. Bernard Parish.The port began acquiring portions of the 1,100-acre property late last year with the purchase of 81 acres along the Mississippi River that was privately owned. Over the next one to two years, the port plans to negotiate lease and purchase agreements with the St. Bernard Port Harbor & Terminal District for an eight-acre tract along the river, in addition to another 1,000 acres that are privately owned. When fully built out, the new container terminal will offer access to six Class I railroads and Interstate 10, with no air draft restrictions, and be located within the levees and flood walls that make up the federal government's Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System. |
