Addendum 01

Supplier Inquiry and Response

Q) In the invitation to bid the specifications for pilots changed from 2024 to 2025 in which 2025 is calling for not only the LA Department of Wildlife and Fisheries certification, but also a US Coast Guard captains license. In the past we have not had to have a US Coast guard license to operate the vessels we use for transportation. What brought about this policy change?

A) After further review, both the LDWF certification and US Coast Guard Captain’s license are not required for this solicitation. See below for revised requirements.

Specification Change

The following section of the original solicitation shall be replaced with the revised requirements below:

Pilots Pilots must possess and maintain the following:

• Pilots are required to have certification through LDWF- LA Department of Wildlife and Fisheries OR U.S. Coast Guard

LSU will provide any valid permits from private and/or state landowners to access experimental sites, if needed.

Working in the wetlands requires experience and knowledge of boat operation in these unique conditions. Supplier should provide a short resume of pilot’s experience under such conditions. Pilot resume and qualifications must be provided upon request.
