The Louisiana Office of State Procurement has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for building materials for the David Wade Correctional Center (DWCC) Recreation Building located in Homer, Louisiana. The procurement (Bid No. 3000024639) is a rebid seeking comprehensive building materials including framing materials, windows, doors, lumber, oriented strand board, metal roofing components, insulation, and interior trim. Specific materials range from treated lumber in various grades and dimensions to vinyl windows with Low-E glass and specific door hardware specifications. The bid opening is scheduled for April 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with vendors required to submit responses through the LaGov vendor portal. Bidders must be registered in the LaGov system and can view the bid opening via a provided Zoom link. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with the state reserving the right to reject individual line items. Evaluation will focus on compliance with detailed material specifications, pricing, and ability to provide the exact quantities and types of building materials outlined in Attachment D - Line Item Responses. The solicitation provides significant preference considerations for Louisiana-based businesses, including advantages for companies with local workforce composition and products manufactured in Louisiana or the United States. Vendors may receive price advantages for Louisiana-produced or US-manufactured products within specified percentage margins of the lowest bid. The contract potentially allows for two additional 12-month renewals, with a total contract term not exceeding 36 months. Payment will be processed electronically, using the LaCarte procurement card for purchases under $5,000 and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for other payments. Bidders must comply with various state and federal requirements, including civil rights laws, ADA accessibility standards, and anti-discrimination provisions. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive material list suggests a substantial procurement for the correctional center's recreation building project. All potential bidders must submit required documentation, including a W-9 for newly registered vendors, and carefully adhere to the detailed specifications and submission guidelines outlined in the solicitation documents.
