This is Addendum #2 to a sealed bid solicitation issued by the Jefferson Parish Department of Purchasing on behalf of the Department of Emergency Management in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. The solicitation requests bids for a three-year pre-placed emergency contract for emergency transportation assets to be mobilized during declared emergencies within Jefferson Parish. The original bid opening date of August 25, 2026 has been postponed to September 1, 2026, with bids due at 2:00 p.m. and the public bid opening scheduled for 2:30 p.m. at the West Bank Purchasing Department located at 200 Derbigny Street, Suite 4400, Gretna, Louisiana. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of all addenda, including Addendum #2, by listing each addendum number on their bid form; failure to do so will result in bid rejection.

Bidders are required to meet a Motor Carrier credential requirement, which may be satisfied through a subcontractor arrangement rather than held directly by the prime contractor. A surety bid bond equal to five percent of the total bid amount is required and must be submitted electronically through the designated clearinghouse bond management system with the bond number included in the bid submission; scanned paper copies are not accepted. Bid specifications are available through the Jefferson Parish Purchasing Department webpage via the LaPAC Tab and the online supplier portal. Jefferson Parish strongly encourages participation from small businesses, minority-owned businesses, women-owned business enterprises, and veteran-owned businesses. The Jefferson Parish Council reserves the right to reject all bids or any bids for just cause.
