The Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development (DOTD) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for precast bridge components, specifically soliciting eight (8) precast concrete spans with a 20 ft clear roadway and guardrail, and nine (9) one-piece precast caps for steel piles. This procurement is focused on bridge infrastructure within East Baton Rouge Parish and Baton Rouge City, with components to be constructed according to the 2016 Louisiana Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges. The RFx Number 3000025429 requires vendors to be registered with the Louisiana Secretary of State and provides specific delivery instructions, including a five-working-day notice prior to delivery and prohibiting deliveries on Fridays, weekends, and holidays. Bidders must notify DOTD personnel two weeks before fabrication and prior to shipping, with the bid opening scheduled for October 2, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST. Vendors are expected to submit bids to a designated PO Box in Baton Rouge and are encouraged to use electronic funds transfer (EFT) for payments. The solicitation includes provisions for Louisiana and U.S. product preferences, allowing bidders to claim a ten percent price preference for Louisiana-made products or a five percent preference for U.S.-manufactured items, subject to specific conditions. These preferences apply to vendors with at least 50% Louisiana workforce and require detailed documentation about manufacturing locations and processes. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the bid emphasizes compliance with civil rights laws and requires vendors to provide certifications regarding non-discrimination, firearm industry interactions, and federal debarment status. Vendors must complete registration in LaPac prior to bid award, though there is no guarantee of future solicitation notifications. The procurement does not explicitly outline a total contract value or budget range, but the technical specifications suggest a significant infrastructure investment in bridge component manufacturing and installation.
