PS 299 REGIONAL PUMP STATION City-Parish Project No. 20-PS-IF-0109R - 20-PS-IF-0109R Addendum No 2R Signed

The City of Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish are soliciting bids for the PS 299 Regional Pump Station project (City-Parish Project No. 20-PS-IF-0109R), a comprehensive municipal infrastructure development initiative. The procurement involves installing a new submersible pump station with an odor control system, which includes five sanitary sewer manholes, demolition of an existing pump station, and extensive piping infrastructure. Specifically, the project requires 860 linear feet of 18" PVC gravity sewer pipe, 90 linear feet of 12" gravity PVC sewer pipe, 50 linear feet of 16" ductile iron forcemain pipe, and 830 linear feet of 8" ductile iron forcemain pipe, along with associated site work. Electronic or sealed bids will be received until 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 23, 2025, with bid openings available in person or via teleconference. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for October 8th, 2025, at the Environmental Services Facility. Bidders must hold an active license in Municipal and Public Works Construction and must submit a Certified Check or Cashier's Check for 5% of the total bid. Bids will remain firm for 60 days from the opening date.

The project has a minimum Eligible Business Enterprise (EBE) goal of 21% of the contract amount, requiring bidders to either achieve this goal or demonstrate good faith efforts. The procurement will be partially funded by federal funds from the United States Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration, which subjects the project to associated federal laws and regulations. Bidders must obtain bid documents from Central Bidding for a $100 fee and comply with specific enterprise participation requirements. The City of Baton Rouge and Parish of East Baton Rouge reserve the right to reject any and all bids for just cause. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the requirement for a 5% bid bond suggests a substantial project value. The federal funding and infrastructure nature of the project indicate this is a significant municipal investment aimed at improving regional wastewater infrastructure and supporting economic development in the Baton Rouge area.
