Annual Supply of Ready Mix Concrete Re-Bid

The City of Shreveport, Louisiana, located in Caddo Parish, is soliciting bids for an annual supply of ready mix concrete through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #25-045, a re-bid procurement. The contract seeks two distinct quantities of Grade "B" ready mix concrete: 4,500 cubic yards for pickup and an additional 4,500 cubic yards with delivery service, representing an estimated annual expenditure of $250,000. All concrete must be produced from Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development certified plants using Type I cement that conforms to ASTM C-150 specifications, with specific requirements for Structural Class A (minimum 6 bags of cement per cubic yard) and Pavement Type B (minimum 5.8 bags of cement per cubic yard). Suppliers must provide concrete in lots of no less than one cubic yard and be prepared to make mix available for loading within 24 hours of notice from the City's Streets and Drainage Division. Bids are due by 2:00 P.M. on August 19, 2025, with electronic submissions accepted through BidNetDirect.com as an alternative to paper bids. No prebid conference is scheduled, and no bid bond is required.

The City reserves the right to renew the resulting contract for four additional one-year terms, with price changes limited to documented increases in the contractor's actual cost of doing business. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, bidders must comply with various City requirements, including submitting adjudicated property affidavits, felony conviction statements, and demonstrating E-Verify participation for employee verification. Successful bidders must maintain firm pricing for the initial contract period and be prepared for potential contract extensions. The procurement does not specify restrictions on vendor types or disadvantaged enterprise participation. The total contract value is estimated at $250,000 annually, with potential for up to five years of total contract duration if all optional renewal periods are exercised. Vendors must be prepared to integrate with the City of Shreveport's existing infrastructure and meet all technical and administrative requirements outlined in the bid documentation.
