DOTD Corr, Polypro, DW Pipe(D61)

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) is soliciting a fax bid (RFx No. 3000024836) for 100 linear feet of 60-inch diameter polypropylene corrugated double-wall pipe, specifically targeting infrastructure projects in Webster Parish. The procurement requires all pipes and gasket materials to be sourced exclusively from manufacturers listed on the Approved Materials List, with approved suppliers including Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (ADS) and Prinsco, Inc. Bid responses must be submitted electronically to adrian.stallone@la.gov by May 25, 2025, at 11:59 PM CST, with the RFx number included in the subject line. Vendors must contact Jonathan Catlett at least 24 hours prior to delivery, with deliveries accepted Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and no Friday deliveries permitted. Critical qualification requirements include vendor registration in LaPac, compliance with federal and state regulations, and adherence to civil rights laws, ADA accessibility requirements, and E-Verify provisions.

The procurement opportunity includes potential preferences for Louisiana-based and U.S.-manufactured products, with vendors able to claim a ten percent price preference for Louisiana products and a five percent preference for U.S.-manufactured items. Corporations and limited liability companies must be in good standing with the Louisiana Secretary of State to hold a purchase order or contract exceeding $25,000. Due to fiscal year constraints, funding may be unavailable for items not delivered by June 30, 2025, and the DOTD reserves the right to reject bids that cannot meet this delivery timeline. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests a focused infrastructure improvement project with strict material specifications. Potential bidders must ensure their products meet the detailed requirements outlined in the Approved Materials List for both pipe and gasket materials, with specific approval dates and manufacturing location details provided in the supporting documentation.
