The Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development (DOTD) is soliciting bids for one (1) full matrix towable message board through Solicitation Number 3000024920. The procurement requires vendors to submit electronic bids via email to adrian.stallone@la.gov by 11:59 PM CST on 06/08/2025, with all submissions referencing the RFx Number in the email subject line. Bidders must be registered in LaPac prior to submission and provide descriptive literature with their bid, adhering to DOTD Equipment Specifications 278-000E (Revised 4/11/24). The solicitation requires a delivered price with no additional fees or charges, and vendors must demonstrate the ability to deliver the message board by June 30, 2025, due to fiscal year constraints. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) will be the payment method, and the contract may potentially be renewed for two additional 12-month periods, with a total contract term not exceeding 36 months. The procurement includes specific preference provisions that provide competitive advantages to Louisiana and U.S.-based businesses. Louisiana's preference policy allows for up to a ten percent cost differential for products produced, manufactured, or assembled within the state, with a requirement that the vendor's workforce consist of at least 50% Louisiana residents. Additionally, a U.S. manufacturing preference offers a five percent price advantage for domestically manufactured goods. Vendors must complete respective preference forms, specifying line items and manufacturing locations. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests this is a single-unit procurement for a towable message board. State agencies are exempt from state and local sales taxes, and DOTD reserves the right to reject bids that cannot meet delivery timelines or specifications. Successful bidders must demonstrate compliance with detailed manufacturing origin requirements and provide comprehensive documentation of their product's production process.
