Rip Rap - CRT

The Louisiana Office of State Procurement is seeking a vendor to supply Rip Rap materials for Jimmie Davis State Park through a competitive bid solicitation numbered 3000024748. The procurement specifically requires two types of Rip Rap: 352 tons of 30lb Class Rip Rap and 44 tons of Gabion Class Rip Rap, to be delivered Monday through Sunday between 7am-5pm. The initial delivery must occur within 15 days after order receipt, with a total delivery expectation of 60 days. The bid will be opened on May 20, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with vendors able to view the opening via a Zoom link. Evaluation criteria focus on selecting the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with the state intending to award the contract on an all-or-none basis. Vendors must complete online bidding through the LaGov system and be registered in the vendor portal, with newly registered vendors required to submit a W-9 form.

The procurement includes several important restrictions and certifications for potential bidders. Vendors must comply with civil rights laws, ADA accessibility requirements, and federal clean air and water act clauses. Specific non-discrimination certifications are required, including prohibitions on discriminatory boycotts of Israel and against firearm and ammunition industries. Bidders must certify they are not suspended or debarred by federal agencies and must comply with Louisiana Secretary of State registration requirements for corporations and limited liability companies seeking contracts over $25,000. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the solicitation does include Louisiana and United States product preferences, potentially advantaging bidders with a Louisiana business workforce of at least 50% Louisiana residents or products manufactured in the United States. The contract will support infrastructure improvements at Jimmie Davis State Park, though no specific budget range is detailed in the provided documentation.
