NEW BID DATE - 2025 Citywide Striping Package

The City of Lake Charles is soliciting sealed bids for the 2025 Citywide Striping Package (Capital Project No. CP3051) with bids due November 17, 2026 at 2:45 p.m. central time and public opening at 3:00 p.m. the same day in City Council Chambers at City Hall, 326 Pujo Street. This is Addendum No. 2 to the original solicitation, which initially carried a September 15, 2026 bid date; the November 17 date supersedes that earlier deadline.

Bidders must personally inspect the project site and certify familiarity with it prior to submission. Contract documents, including drawings and technical specifications, are available for examination at the office of the Engineer, Lancon Engineers, Inc., 905 McKinley Street, Westlake, Louisiana, or as electronic PDF copies at no cost from jveronie@lanconengineers.com. Plans and specifications remain available until 24 hours before bid opening.

All bids must be accompanied by a certified check, cashier's check, or bid bond equal to five percent of the base bid and all alternates, payable to the City of Lake Charles. The successful bidder must furnish a Performance and Payment Bond equal to 100 percent of the contract amount from a U.S. Department of Treasury–approved surety. Contractors performing hazardous materials work must hold proper licensure for any contract amount; contractors performing other work must be licensed for contracts of $50,000 or more under Louisiana Revised Statutes Chapter 24, Title 37.

Evaluation is based on the lowest responsible bid submitted in compliance with specifications. Bids may not be withdrawn within 45 days of opening except as prescribed in LA R.S. 38:2214. The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids. Bids may be submitted electronically via www.bidexpress.com or by mail or hand delivery to the Clerk of Council's office. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was scheduled for September 8, 2026; no current pre-bid or site-visit date is listed for the November 17 deadline.
