The City of Shreveport is conducting a procurement for the 2025 LPSC Public Entity Energy Efficiency Program, specifically targeting LED lighting upgrades across 13 fire department stations. The project involves supplying and installing approximately 1,515 LED lights, with a comprehensive scope that includes retrofitting existing fluorescent, incandescent, HID, and some current LED fixtures using two primary Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) codes: RLED (retrofit with new LED lamps) and SRF-FLED (remove and install new LED fixtures). Contractors must possess a valid Louisiana state contractor's license and be prepared to complete the work within a 60-calendar-day timeline. The bid is formally solicited through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #25-057, with critical dates including a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on September 24, 2025, and bid submissions due by 2:00 p.m. on October 9, 2025. The designer's estimated project cost is $342,317.08, and the work is classified as Electrical Work. Evaluation will likely consider compliance with bid specifications, technical capabilities, and submitted documentation. The City has established specific requirements for small and disadvantaged business participation, setting a 25% goal for small, disadvantaged business concerns in the contract. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond, provide fair share documentation, and meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including Commercial General Liability and Workers' Compensation coverage. Contractors must also demonstrate E-Verify participation and submit various affidavits regarding felony convictions and property ownership. Prime contractors will be required to pay subcontractors within 15 business days of receiving payment, and the project includes equal employment opportunity and civil rights compliance mandates. The procurement emphasizes local economic inclusion and provides opportunities for businesses meeting specific disadvantaged enterprise criteria. While no incumbent vendors are specified, the project represents a significant municipal infrastructure improvement initiative focused on energy efficiency and modernization of public facilities.
