The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for treated timber products, specifically solicitation number 3000025450 for District 05, covering Orleans Parish. The procurement seeks 119 total pieces of creosote-treated timber with specific requirements, including 20 timber piles at 25 feet long, 10 timber piles at 35 feet long, 11 structural timbers at 6x16 inches by 20 feet, 3 structural timbers at 12x12 inches by 32 feet, and 75 tongue and groove timbers at 4x12 inches by 30 feet. All timber must undergo 16 lb. creosote treatment and comply with 2016 Louisiana Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, with vendors required to follow a Quality Control program in accordance with AWWA M3 standards. The bid is scheduled for public opening on October 6, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with delivery to the DOTD Engineering & Operations Monroe District 05 location. Bidders must submit unit prices not exceeding two decimal places, and the award will be made to a single successful bidder meeting all requirements. Vendor qualification includes mandatory registration in LaPac prior to bid submission and electronic funds transfer (EFT) payment capabilities. The procurement includes several important compliance requirements that may impact bidder eligibility, such as adherence to civil rights laws, ADA accessibility standards, and various federal and state regulations regarding non-discrimination and anti-boycott provisions. Vendors can potentially qualify for a five percent price preference by demonstrating that their products are manufactured in the United States, with specific certification requirements outlined in the U.S. Preference form. The bid submission process is strictly regulated, with detailed instructions for delivery via hand/courier service or U.S. Postal Service to the DOTD Procurement Section in Baton Rouge. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive timber specifications suggest a significant infrastructure project. Bidders must verify their company standing and comply with all listed regulatory requirements, with failure to meet any specification potentially resulting in bid disqualification. The procurement emphasizes comprehensive vendor vetting and strict adherence to technical and procedural standards.
