The City of Baton Rouge and Parish of East Baton Rouge are soliciting electronic bids for the Runway 22R Threshold Repair project at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, with proposals due by 2:00 PM on July 31, 2025. This procurement is for a single prime contract involving comprehensive runway rehabilitation, including concrete pavement removal, asphalt paving, and electrical equipment removal and replacement. Bidders must hold an active Louisiana license in highway, street and bridge construction, municipal and public works, or heavy construction. An optional pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the airport, with participation limited to three personnel per organization. The project is partially funded through the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, which implies strict compliance with federal procurement and construction standards. Contractors must adhere to various federal requirements, including Buy American Preference, Civil Rights regulations, and Davis-Bacon wage requirements.

The procurement includes a mandatory Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation requirement, with bidders required to make good faith efforts to subcontract a minimum of 12.0% of the contract value to DBE firms. The successful bidder will be required to provide a Performance and Payment Bond covering 100% of the contract price from an approved surety company. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the runway repair project suggests a significant infrastructure investment. Potential bidders must demonstrate technical capabilities in airport runway construction, electrical systems replacement, and compliance with complex federal and state regulatory frameworks. The project's federal funding sources indicate rigorous oversight and potential additional compliance requirements beyond standard municipal contracting protocols. Contractors will need to showcase expertise in airport infrastructure rehabilitation, with a particular focus on precise engineering standards and safety compliance for critical transportation infrastructure.
