The Louisiana Office of State Procurement has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for grease trap cleaning services at the DOC Raymond Laborde Correctional Center (DOC-RLCC) located in Cottonport, Louisiana. The solicitation (RFx Number 3000024996) seeks a service contractor to perform monthly and as-needed grease trap and lift station cleaning across five specific locations within the facility. The required services include cleaning a 2000-gallon main grease trap monthly, servicing a 50-gallon small grease trap as needed, cleaning a 400-gallon grease trap near the east gate as needed, maintaining a 1500-gallon lift station monthly, and addressing a catch basin as needed. The contractor must provide a vacuum truck with specific equipment specifications, including a 3600-gallon tank, 4" suction hose, and a 25' wand. Work must be performed Monday through Friday between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm, excluding weekends and holidays. The bid opening is scheduled for July 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with a non-mandatory jobsite visit available by contacting James Desjardine. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specified requirements.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Contractors must undergo a security clearance process, which includes providing detailed personnel information for background checks and complying with strict security regulations at the correctional facility. Insurance requirements are substantial, mandating Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Automobile Liability coverage with defined minimum limits. The contract's initial period runs from July 1, 2025, or the date of award through June 30, 2026, with options to renew for two additional 12-month periods, not to exceed a total of 36 months. Payment will be processed through electronic methods, including the LaCarte procurement card for purchases under $5,000 and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for other payments. The contract is funded with next fiscal year funds and is contingent on legislative appropriation. While no specific budget range is provided, the scope involves 12 jobs over the initial contract period, suggesting a moderate-scale service contract for ongoing facility maintenance.
