PARISH PRISON BUILDING Q ROOF RECOVER CPP NO. 21-ASC-CP-1605 Bid Cancelled: 08/08/2025 - 25_ADD1_Parish Prison Building Q Roof Recover

The City of Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish are soliciting bids for the Parish Prison Building Q Roof Recover project (City Parish Project No. 21-ASC-CP-1605), a public works construction initiative focused on roof restoration. The specific project involves recovering the roof of Building Q at the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison, located at 2867 Brigadier General Isaac Smith Ave., Baton Rouge, using an elastomeric silicone roof coating designed to achieve a 12-year warranty. Contractors must hold an active Louisiana state contractor's license in Roofing and Sheet Metal, Siding, and submit a bid bond or certified check for 5% of their total bid. Electronic and paper bids will be accepted until 2:00 PM local time on Tuesday, August 12th, 2025, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for July 22nd at the Department of Buildings and Grounds Building Maintenance Parish Prison Building. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with the City-Parish reserving the right to reject bids that exceed the preconstruction cost estimate or are deemed inappropriate.

The procurement includes a specific Emerging Business Enterprise (EBE) requirement, with the East Baton Rouge Parish Purchasing office establishing a minimum 7% EBE participation goal for the contract amount. Bidders must either meet this goal or demonstrate good faith efforts to do so, which creates opportunities for smaller or disadvantaged businesses to participate in the project. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the documentation, contractors should be prepared to submit competitive bids for a roof recovery project at a parish prison facility. Bid forms, specifications, and additional information can be obtained through www.centralauctionhouse.com or by contacting the Purchasing Division at (225) 389-3259. Interested contractors will need to carefully review all requirements, including licensing, bonding, and EBE participation, to ensure compliance with the solicitation's detailed specifications.
