About this file

This document is Addendum No. 01 issued by the Office of State Procurement for the State of Louisiana, specifically modifying the Invitation to Bid (ITB) for a Mandatory Pre-Bid Herbicide Treatment project (RFx Number 3000024987). The addendum, dated July 18, 2025, updates the Special Terms and Conditions related to Herbicide/Pesticide Ground Application Contractor Requirements. The bid is scheduled to open on August 5, 2025, at 10:00 AM CT, and the key modification requires contractors to be licensed with the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, submit a Ground Owner Operator Business License, and have at least one registered Commercial Applicator certified in General Forestry (subcategory 2a).

The primary change in the addendum involves expanding the contractor licensing requirements. Contractors must now explicitly demonstrate certification with the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, in addition to submitting proof of employment of a registered Commercial Applicator. The addendum provides a mechanism for bidders who have already submitted bids to acknowledge the changes or revise their submissions before the bid opening. Contractors are instructed to submit required documentation prior to contract award and are advised to bring any issues with the requirements to the attention of the Office of State Procurement Analyst before the bid opening.
