The City of Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish are soliciting bids for the Annual Parishwide Homeowners Sewage Pump Installation and Maintenance Project (Project Number 25-LP-WC-0004). This procurement seeks a contractor to install homeowner sewage pump systems on private sewer service laterals within private servitudes granted by homeowners, as well as maintain existing homeowner sewage pumps. Qualified contractors must hold an active license in Municipal and Public Works Construction and participate in a mandatory pre-bid conference on April 1, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. at the Environmental Services Facility to be eligible for project award. Electronic or sealed bids will be received until 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, with bid openings available for in-person or teleconference observation. Bidders are required to submit a Certified Check or Cashier's Check for 5% of the total bid amount, with bid documents available for purchase at $100.00 from the Public Works and Planning Center.

The solicitation includes a Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (SEDBE) program with a specific requirement of a minimum 6% Economically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (EBE) goal for the contract amount. Only EBE firms certified under the Parish SEDBE Certification Program will count toward this goal, and bidders must either achieve the goal or demonstrate good faith efforts to do so. While specific contract value details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial investment in municipal infrastructure maintenance and improvement. Potential bidders must carefully review the project requirements, including the necessity of operating within private servitudes and maintaining existing pump systems. The procurement appears designed to support ongoing municipal infrastructure needs while providing opportunities for disadvantaged business enterprises to participate in significant public works projects.
