Qualified contractors must hold an active license in Municipal and Public Works Construction and comply with State Licensing Law requirements. Electronic or sealed bids will be received until 2:00 p.m. local time on Thursday, May 15, 2025, with bid openings available for in-person or teleconference observation. Submitted bids will remain firm for 45 days from the opening date, and no bids will be accepted after the specified time.

The procurement includes a Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (SEDBE) program with a mandatory 6% minimum Enterprise Business Enterprise (EBE) goal for the contract amount. Bidders must either achieve this goal or demonstrate good faith efforts toward compliance. To submit a bid, contractors must provide a certified check or cashier's check payable to the Parish of East Baton Rouge, or submit a satisfactory bid bond equal to 5% of the total bid amount.
