RebidMand. Visit* Reverse Osmosis System

The Louisiana Office of State Procurement is conducting a competitive sealed bidding process for a Reverse Osmosis (RO) System installation project in Baton Rouge. The solicitation (RFx No. 3000024742) requires the procurement and installation of multiple RO systems, specifically one M2-2 RO System for room A115 and three M1-2S RO Systems for rooms B212, B213, and B214. Vendors must complete a mandatory jobsite visit by contacting Phi Nguyen at 225-219-5244 or Phi.Nguyen@la.gov prior to bidding. The procurement is structured as an all-or-none award, targeting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who meets detailed technical specifications. These specifications include precise requirements for inlet pressures, operating voltages, water temperature ranges, and system performance. The bid requires vendors to remove existing RO systems and dispose of them at the loading dock. Bids are due on May 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with submissions accepted through the LaGov vendor portal or physically at the Claiborne Building in Baton Rouge.

The contract includes several preferential considerations for Louisiana-based businesses, with potential advantages for vendors with workforces comprising at least 50% Louisiana residents or offering Louisiana/U.S. manufactured products. Bidders must be registered in the LaGov system and comply with various state and federal requirements, including civil rights laws and ADA accessibility standards. The procurement allows for potential contract renewals, with the possibility of two additional 12-month periods at the same prices, terms, and conditions, potentially extending the total contract term to 36 months. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability. While no specific budget is explicitly stated, the project involves multiple complex RO system installations with detailed technical requirements. Funding is contingent on legislative appropriation, with potential delivery scheduled no earlier than July 1st of the next fiscal year. Newly registered vendors must also include a W-9 form with their submission.
