The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) is soliciting bids for gas-powered anti-ice spray systems and ground speed brine application control systems under RFx No. 3000024575, specifically targeting procurement for East Baton Rouge Parish. The procurement involves five line items: one single-lane 1,065-gallon anti-ice spray system, two three-lane 1,065-gallon anti-ice spray systems, and two Micro-Trak Roadmaster Ground Speed Control Systems. Each system must feature a slide-in self-powered brine application design with a high-density UV-stabilized polyethylene tank, integrated baffling, stainless steel spray bar systems, and a gas-powered engine. Technical requirements include a 1,065-gallon tank capacity, minimum pump flow rate of 185 gallons per minute, and a black powder-coated leg stand for loading, unloading, and storage. The bid is due on April 30, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with electronic and physical submission options available through the LaGov system. Evaluation criteria will focus on selecting the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specified technical requirements, with the state reserving the right to reject individual line items. The procurement offers potential advantages for Louisiana-based businesses, particularly those with a workforce comprising at least 50% Louisiana residents. Vendors must be registered in the LaGov system and can propose "or equal" alternatives to the listed Buyers model numbers, providing flexibility while maintaining performance standards. Louisiana-produced products may receive up to a 10% price differential, while United States-manufactured items can receive up to a 5% price advantage. The state intends to use LaCarte procurement cards for purchases under $5,000 and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for larger transactions. The contract potentially allows for two additional 12-month extensions, with a maximum total contract term of 36 months. While specific total contract value is not disclosed, pricing must remain firm for 30 days and throughout the potential contract period. Delivery will be made to specific DOTD district addresses, with deliveries accepted Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, excluding holidays and disaster periods.
