§92. Orphan site restoration
A. The secretary is hereby authorized to expend sums from the fund and enter into
contracts for the purpose of site restoration on any site declared to be an orphaned oilfield
site. The secretary may conduct site restoration, expend sums from the fund, and enter into
contracts for the purpose of site restoration to respond to an emergency as provided in R.S.
30:6.1.
B. Any contractor bidding for a contract to provide services for site restoration as
provided in this Part shall take into account the salvage value of all equipment which shall
be removed in the clean-up and restoration process and shall so stipulate and identify the
value in his bid.
C. A contract for site assessment or site restoration shall require a formal bid
process. All contracts shall be exempt from the provisions of the Public Bid Law and the
Louisiana Procurement Code; however, before this exemption from the Public Bid Law and
the Louisiana Procurement Code can be effective, the secretary shall promulgate rules in
accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act to set forth the procedures, which, to the
extent practicable, shall be in substantial compliance with the Public Bid Law and shall
require a formal bid process. A project which the secretary has declared in writing to be an
emergency may employ a written and thoroughly documented informal bidding procedure
in which bids are solicited from at least three bidders. All such contracts shall be reviewed
prior to execution by the secretary, and all informally bid contracts shall be reviewed by the
secretary. Notwithstanding any other requirements in this Part, any monies deposited
pursuant to R.S. 30:86(D)(9) or (10) may be expended by the secretary through a contract
entered into under any competitive process authorized by Title 38 or 39 of the Louisiana
Revised Statutes of 1950.
