The Louisiana Office of State Procurement is soliciting bids for a comprehensive electrical equipment package for the Jimmie Davis State Park in Chatham, Louisiana. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) with RFx Number 3000024700 seeks a detailed procurement that includes multiple electrical components such as 400 amp outdoor distribution panels, meter bases, various breakers, copper and aluminum wire, PVC pipes and fittings, ground equipment, and associated installation hardware. Potential vendors must be registered in the LaGov vendor portal and can submit bids electronically or physically. The bid opening is scheduled for May 13, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with submission requirements including precise specifications for each item, encompassing brand, model, dimensions, and technical characteristics. The state intends to award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with the explicit right to reject individual line items from the overall bid.

The procurement opportunity includes several Louisiana-specific vendor preferences, notably a preference for businesses with a workforce comprising at least 50% Louisiana residents. Additional procurement preferences are structured to benefit Louisiana-produced products, with a 10% cost differential allowance for Louisiana products and a 5% differential for US-manufactured items. Electronic payment will be processed using either the LaCarte procurement card for purchases under $5,000 or through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Vendors must comply with civil rights laws, accessibility requirements, and standard state procurement terms. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the electrical equipment list suggests a significant infrastructure investment project. The solicitation applies specifically to Claiborne Parish and requires vendors to adhere to building security protocols and precise submission guidelines outlined in the attached documentation.
