Painting and Body Repairs Bid 2025-2026

The St. Bernard Parish School Board is seeking sealed bids for painting and minor body repair services for its district vehicles and buses, covering the fiscal year from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The procurement is a competitive bid process soliciting proposals for both labor and material rates for painting and body repairs. Interested vendors must submit comprehensive pricing information, including hourly rates for body and paint labor, as well as paint material costs. The bid evaluation will utilize a weighted scoring method, with 80% of the score allocated to body and paint labor rates and 20% to paint material rates. Potential bidders can obtain bid documents from the School Board Office, the district's website (www.sbpsb.org), or through BidNetDirect. All bid questions must be submitted in writing to lcarlin@sbpsb.org by 4:30 PM on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, and the sealed bids are due by 10:30 A.M. on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. Proposals can be submitted electronically through BidNetDirect or via hand delivery, registered mail, or certified mail.

The bid documents do not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. There is no mention of incumbent vendors or existing contractors for these services. The School Board reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids, and no bid can be withdrawn for at least 45 days after the bid closing. Bidders are required to provide complete contact information and must have an authorized representative with the ability to bind the company to the contract. While no specific budget or funding range is explicitly stated in the documents, the procurement covers painting and body repair services for an entire school district's vehicle fleet for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The bid form requires vendors to provide detailed rate information, suggesting the potential for a significant contract value based on the comprehensive service requirements for the district's vehicles and buses.
