The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) is soliciting bids for a Boom Mower Machine through solicitation number RFx 3000024706, with the procurement targeting East Baton Rouge Parish and Baton Rouge City. The primary deliverable is one self-propelled, 4-wheel drive boom mowing machine with specific technical requirements, including a comprehensive set of attachments such as a 50" mulching head, 48" single blade saw, twin saw, and 96" broom. Bidders must provide a new, current production model machine that meets all state and federal safety and emission standards, with mandatory submission of documentation from an authorized Louisiana dealer capable of providing parts and service. The bid is scheduled to open on May 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with electronic submissions required through the LaGov vendor portal. Potential vendors must complete a detailed specification compliance checklist, noting any exceptions, and understand that failure to provide complete documentation may result in equipment rejection upon delivery. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all technical specifications. The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though Louisiana does provide preferences for products manufactured by companies with a workforce comprising at least 50% Louisiana residents. The state reserves the right to adjust pricing for Louisiana-produced products and emphasizes United States-manufactured equipment preferences. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the bid requires vendors to be registered in the LaGov system and submit a W-9 form if newly registered. The procurement allows for electronic vendor payment methods, including LaCarte procurement cards and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement is for a single unit of specialized roadside maintenance equipment. Delivery is specified for Monday through Friday, between 7:00 AM and 3:30 PM, with vendors required to specify their brand, model, and estimated delivery timeline after order receipt.
