Contract to Provide Reflective Sheeting as Needed

The City of Kenner, Louisiana is requesting electronic bids for reflective sheeting products on an as-needed basis under Electronic Bid No. 26-2221, with bids due August 13, 2026 at 9:45 a.m. CST. All materials must be 3M brand to ensure compatibility with Kenner's electronic cutting equipment — a single-source requirement that filters supplier eligibility.

The scope covers enclosed-lens reflective sheeting (3M Series 3400 and 4000), clear transfer tape, protective overlay films, and electronically cuttable films, all specified to detailed photometric, adhesive, weathering, and warranty standards. Reflective sheeting must employ spherical lens elements within transparent plastic with smooth flat outer surface and weather-resistant, pre-coated adhesive backing. The estimated aggregate requirement over the two-year initial term is 2,500 square feet each of Series 3400 and 4000 in various sizes and colors, 5,000 square feet of clear transfer tape, and 250 square feet each of protective overlay films.

The contract is not to exceed $30,000 annually and runs October 27, 2026 through October 26, 2027, with an option to renew for one additional year on unchanged terms and pricing. Pricing is unit-based with freight included in all quotes. The successful bidder must maintain sufficient stock and ship requested quantities within seven calendar days of purchase order. Control sample test panels demonstrating three years of continuous outdoor exposure prior to bid opening are required, or the vendor must provide evidence of successful performance in similar municipalities. Technical assistance including quarterly instruction and training at Kenner Traffic Shop at no additional cost is mandatory. Bids may be submitted electronically to FinContracts@kenner.la.us or in person at the Finance Department, 1610 Reverend Richard Wilson Drive, Building D, Kenner, Louisiana 70062. Payment follows completion and acceptance, with invoices due within forty days of service delivery.
