The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) is seeking to procure multiple salt spreaders through a competitive Invitation to Bid (ITB) process, solicitation number 3000024533. The procurement involves acquiring a total of 28 salt spreaders with varying specifications: 7 units of 3 cubic yard poly spreaders, 2 units of 5 cubic yard stainless steel spreaders, 5 units of 4 cubic yard stainless steel spreaders, and 14 units of 4 cubic yard poly spreaders. All spreaders are required to be from the SaltDogg product line or equivalent, with specific technical requirements including 12v DC-powered electric drive, independent motor configurations, adjustable height chutes, and compatibility with dump trucks and flat beds. The bid is set to be publicly opened on April 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with electronic submissions accepted through the LaGov vendor portal. Bidders must be registered in the system and provide comprehensive product information, with the state intending to award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting the detailed specifications. The procurement covers East Baton Rouge Parish and Baton Rouge City, with delivery instructions specifying acceptance Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM. The solicitation includes several preference provisions that may provide advantages to certain vendors, including Louisiana-specific procurement preferences for businesses with at least 50% Louisiana workforce, Louisiana product producers, or those processing products within the state. There is also a United States manufacturing preference allowing up to a 5% price differential for domestically manufactured items. The contract potentially allows for extension for two additional 12-month periods, with a total contract term not to exceed 36 months. Payment will be processed electronically, with a preference for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and acceptance of LaCarte procurement cards. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive specifications and multiple unit requirements suggest a significant procurement investment. The state reserves the right to reject individual line items and award the contract based on the most advantageous bid meeting all technical specifications. Vendors must carefully review all attachments, complete all required forms, and ensure compliance with the detailed technical requirements outlined in the solicitation documents.
