Jefferson Parish Purchasing Department is requesting bids for the complete modernization of two hydraulic passenger elevators at the Jefferson Parish Juvenile Court in Harvey, Louisiana, with bids due September 29, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Bidders must hold Louisiana State Contractor licensure in the Limited Specialty Services class, Louisiana State Fire Marshal's Office Conveyance Device Mechanic certification, and either National Association of Elevator Contractors or NEIEP Certified Elevator Technician (CET) certification — mandatory qualifications that gate entry.

The scope encompasses furnishing and installing all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and incidentals to modernize two in-ground hydraulic passenger elevators (one with glass back) while maintaining existing 100 feet-per-minute speed, two-button selective collective operation, and in-ground jack configurations. Work must conform to ASME A17.1 and A17.2, National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), Life Safety Code (NFPA 101), ADA requirements, and Local Fire Authority codes. A qualified elevator inspector inspection is required prior to project closeout. Work occurs during regular business hours (7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday) with no-cost option to work outside regular hours. Liquidated damages of $300 per day commence on the 180th day following notice to proceed until substantial completion. All materials and workmanship carry a one-year warranty from project completion.

An electronic bid bond equal to 5% of the total bid amount must accompany the bid through Central Bidding; performance and payment bonds of 50% of the total contract price are required upon contract execution. The apparent low bidder must provide proof of required licenses and certifications within 10 days of bid opening. Final retention is withheld until the owner receives complete maintenance documentation, wiring diagrams, parts catalogs, and operational manuals within 30 days of final acceptance. Site visits may be scheduled with Robbie Brouillette, Department of General Services, at 504-364-2675 (Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.).
