The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Pipe & Bands for District 05, solicitation number 3000025343, targeting Orleans Parish. The procurement seeks bituminous coated metal culvert pipes and pipe bands in multiple diameters: 30" (150 linear feet), 36" (205 linear feet), 48" (245 linear feet), and 60" (100 linear feet), all specified at 14 gauge with required lifting lugs for pipes 30" and larger. Vendors must adhere to the 2016 Louisiana Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, provide new products, and source gasket materials from an approved materials list. The bid requires unit prices not exceeding two decimal places and submission in the correct unit of measure. The public bid opening is scheduled for September 15, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with bidders required to be registered in LaPac and comply with civil rights laws and federal requirements. The contract potentially allows for two additional 12-month renewal periods, with a total contract term not exceeding 36 months. Bidders must comply with specific preference regulations, including Louisiana's state preference for products produced, manufactured, or assembled in-state, which requires a workforce of at least 50% Louisiana residents. The procurement offers a preference for Louisiana-based products if they are within 10% of the lowest bid and meet quality standards, as well as a U.S. preference allowing a five percent price advantage for domestically manufactured products. Vendors must verify they are not federally suspended or debarred and meet non-discrimination and accessibility standards. Payment terms include remittance within 30 days after invoice or delivery, with an encouragement for electronic funds transfer. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive specifications and multiple pipe diameter requirements suggest a significant infrastructure investment. Potential bidders must carefully review the attached documents, including the Louisiana Preference form, U.S. Preference documentation, and the Approved Materials List for Gasket Materials, to ensure full compliance with procurement requirements.
