South Central Planning and Development Commission Building Expansion

South Central Planning and Development Commission is soliciting sealed bids for a building expansion at 5058 West Main Street, Houma, Louisiana 70360, with bids due July 20, 2026 at 2:00 PM CST through Central Bidding (www.centralbidding.com). Bidders must hold a Louisiana building construction license under Louisiana Revised Statutes 37:2150-2164.

The scope encompasses furnishing and completion of all work associated with the expansion (Architect's Project Number 2418). All work must be completed within 270 calendar days from the written Notice to Proceed, subject to milestone phase completion deadlines. Failure to meet the completion date triggers stipulated daily damages deducted from moneys due the contractor. Final occupancy approval is required from the State Fire Marshal's Office.

Bids must be submitted on the Louisiana Uniform Public Works Bid Form and accompanied by bid security equal to not less than five percent of the bid amount in the form of a certified check, cashier's check, or bid bond made payable to South Central Planning and Development Commission. Proposal prices must specifically exclude all state and local taxes, as local governments are exempt under Act 1029 of 1991, and shall include applicable shipping or transportation charges.

The commission reserves the right to reject any or all bids for just cause and will award to the lowest qualified bid offering the best advantage to the commission. No bid may be withdrawn for at least 45 calendar days after closing, except under Louisiana Revised Statutes 38:2214. A pre-bid conference originally scheduled for July 9, 2026 at 9:00 AM CST was canceled.
