Limestone For Floy McElroy WMA - LDWF Bid Cancelled: 10/02/2025 - Synopsis Description: Addendum No. 1 – CANCELLATION Date Issued

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) #3000025326 for the procurement of 500 tons of #57 Limestone to be delivered to the Floy McElroy Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Sabine Parish. The limestone will be distributed across two specific locations: approximately 250 tons for a 40-acre house site road and 250 tons for the main road. The bid opening is scheduled for September 17, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with bidders able to submit proposals either physically to the Office of State Procurement or electronically through the LaGov vendor portal. Bidders must provide a comprehensive price quote that includes transportation, freight, delivery, unpacking, and debris removal, with the limestone price expected to include tailgate spread. The state intends to award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specified requirements, with potential for contract extension up to 36 months. Evaluation will focus on compliance with bid specifications, pricing, and vendor qualifications.

The procurement opportunity includes several preferences and considerations for bidders, particularly those based in Louisiana. Businesses with a workforce comprising at least 50% Louisiana residents may qualify for state procurement preferences, potentially receiving price margin advantages for Louisiana-produced products. The solicitation emphasizes preferences for U.S.-manufactured products and Louisiana-based businesses. Vendors must be registered in the LaGov system and comply with civil rights laws, accessibility requirements, and various federal clauses. Payment will be processed electronically, using either the LaCarte procurement card for purchases under $5,000 or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the total project value encompasses 500 tons of limestone delivery. The state reserves the right to reject individual line items from the award and requires all new vendors to submit a W-9 form as part of the bidding process.
