The Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development (DOTD) has issued a Request for Bid (RFx Number 3000025385) for procuring plate steel specifically for District 03 located in Lafayette Parish. The solicitation seeks 320 square feet of hot-rolled steel plate, specifically four pieces of 8' x 10' x 1" ASTM A-36 steel, to be delivered to the DOTD District 03 Welding Shop at 228 Rue des Voyages, Lafayette, LA 70508. Delivery is restricted to Monday through Thursday between 7:00 AM - 3:30 PM, excluding holidays, weekends, and disaster periods, with no Friday deliveries permitted. Bids must be submitted electronically via email to adrian.stallone@la.gov by 11:59 PM CST on September 9, 2025. Vendors are encouraged to accept Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments and must be registered with the Louisiana Secretary of State. Unit prices must not exceed two digits to the right of the decimal point, and prices will remain firm for the initial contract period. The solicitation includes potential provisions for U.S. and Louisiana product preferences, which could provide price advantages for vendors manufacturing products domestically or within Louisiana. To qualify for the Louisiana preference, a bidder's workforce must consist of at least 50% Louisiana residents, and the cost of Louisiana-produced items cannot exceed out-of-state items by more than 10%. Similarly, U.S.-manufactured products can receive a 5% price preference if they meet specific manufacturing origin requirements. The contract allows for potential renewals, with the possibility of two additional 12-month periods at the same prices, terms, and conditions, for a total contract term not exceeding 36 months. State agencies are exempt from state and local sales taxes, and the bid emphasizes compliance with federal and state regulations, including civil rights laws, ADA accessibility requirements, and E-Verify provisions. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a defined quantity of steel plates with potential multi-year renewal options.
