Lacombe Turning Radii Improvements

St. Tammany Parish Government is requesting sealed quotes for turning-radii improvements along four streets in Lacombe, Louisiana—Charlotte Street (R07E044), North 25th Street (R07E030), Cloverland Drive (R07E040), and North 8th Street (R07E002)—with quotes due July 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The project scope includes installing drain pipes, catch basins, patching, and shoulder materials as specified. Respondents must conduct site visitations to familiarize themselves with surface and subsurface conditions.

Contractors must hold an active Louisiana state license for Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction if the estimated project cost is $50,000 or more. A performance bond equal to 100 percent of the project cost is required for projects costing $25,000 or more, with bond costs borne by the contractor and due within ten working days of request. The contractor bears all costs for labor, materials, equipment, supervision, permits, and taxes.

The contract completion period is forty-five calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The Parish will issue the Notice to Proceed within twenty calendar days of contract execution, and contractors must commence work within ten calendar days thereafter. Liquidated damages are assessed on a tiered schedule: $500 per day for contract amounts of $0–$250,000; $1,000 per day for $250,000–$1 million; $1,500 per day for $1–$5 million; $2,000 per day for $5–$10 million; and $3,000 per day for amounts exceeding $10 million. The lowest monetary quote in compliance with the Quote Request will be awarded. Pricing quoted must be firm for the contract term.

Inquiry deadline is July 9, 2026. Addendum deadline is July 13, 2026. Sealed quotes will be publicly opened at the Procurement Department, 21454 Koop Drive, Suite 2F, Mandeville, Louisiana 70471, with only respondent names identified aloud. The Parish reserves the right to modify quantities by up to 25 percent and may perform additional work or engage other contractors. Extensions of time may be granted for unusual circumstances beyond the contractor's control and for inclement weather, as documented by the Parish Inspector and verified against National Weather Service records.
