About this opportunity
The Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College is requesting bids for a term contract to provide campus-wide backflow preventer inspection and testing services, with bids due September 22, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. CT. The awardee must hold Louisiana State Plumbing Board licenses and Water Supply Protection Specialist (WSPS) endorsements; testing personnel must maintain current certifications recognized by the State Plumbing Board.
The scope covers annual inspections and performance testing of approximately 206 backflow prevention assemblies serving LSU campus buildings and infrastructure, including domestic water, fire protection, irrigation, and other testable systems. Additional services include testing after authorized repairs, identification and documentation of deficiencies, device tagging, test reporting, and maintenance of LSU's device inventory. The supplier must provide all labor, supervision, tools, test equipment, transportation, and documentation necessary to complete the work. Pricing is structured on two bid line items: annual re-inspections following failed inspections (estimated 25 devices) and annual backflow preventer inspections campus-wide (206 devices). All bid prices must be quoted FOB LSU Destination, inclusive of shipping, handling, and all applicable charges, with prices remaining firm for the contract duration.
The contract period runs from the award date through June 30, 2027, with an option for two additional one-year renewal periods under the same terms and conditions. Required submittals include evidence of licensing, WSPS certification, test kit calibration certificates, proposed testing schedules, and personnel contact information. LSU reserves the right to award all items to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder on an all-or-none basis. Bids must be submitted electronically to lsubids@lsu.edu. No formal bidders' conference or site visit is scheduled.
