The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) is seeking bids for a comprehensive sign post assembly procurement in East Baton Rouge Parish. The solicitation (Number 3000025340) requires vendors to provide specific quantities of sign support components, including 690 three-inch pipe mount clamp assemblies, 300 four-inch pipe mount clamp assemblies, 95 twelve-foot steel sign posts, 19 fourteen-foot steel sign posts, 180 channel anti-rotational clamps, and 54 multi-directional slip base assemblies for concrete surface mounting. Bidders must adhere to DOTD Specifications 299-007 Revised 4/6/17 and provide detailed brand and model information for each line item. The bid is scheduled for public opening on September 15, 2025, at 10:00 AM Central Standard Time, with non-electronic responses required to be submitted to a PO Box in Baton Rouge. Vendors must include all applicable taxes in their pricing, with unit prices not exceeding two decimal places, and deliveries will be accepted Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, requiring 24-hour advance notice. The procurement offers preference opportunities for U.S. and Louisiana-based manufacturers, with potential five percent and ten percent price preferences respectively for qualifying vendors. To be eligible for the Louisiana preference, vendors must have a workforce comprising at least 50% Louisiana residents and meet specific manufacturing or assembly criteria. Bidders must be registered in LaPAC and with the Louisiana Secretary of State if they are an LLC or corporation. The contract requires compliance with civil rights laws, ADA accessibility standards, and E-Verify provisions, with vendors required to certify they have not been suspended or debarred. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the procurement suggests a significant investment in transportation infrastructure components. Vendors must demonstrate technical capability to produce sign support assemblies that meet NCHRP 350 or MASH criteria, with potential material certification from an independent test laboratory required to ensure structural integrity and performance of the sign support systems.
