The Louisiana Office of State Procurement is requesting bids for removal and installation of a double-wall fire-protected above-ground storage tank at the Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women in St. Gabriel under Invitation to Bid 3000026474, with bids due August 4, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time. A mandatory jobsite visit prior to bid submission is a gate requirement — failure to submit a completed Jobsite Verification Form or signed agency letter confirming the visit results in automatic elimination from bid consideration.

The scope includes supply of all labor, rentals, permits, and materials for removal and installation in accordance with detailed specifications covering tank materials, dimensions, installation procedures, corrosion resistance, pressure testing, and inspection protocols. Bidders must provide a lump sum bid with all delivery costs on an F.O.B. destination basis. All products must be new and current models unless specified otherwise.

For bids of $50,000 or more, bid security equal to 5% of the bid amount is required. Upon award, the contractor must execute a Performance Bond and Labor and Materials Payment Bond, each equal to 100% of the contract amount, secured by A.M. Best A- or higher-rated surety or insurance companies. Required insurance includes Workers' Compensation with $1,000,000 employer liability limits, Commercial General Liability with $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate, and Automobile Liability with $1,000,000 combined single limit. If asbestos or hazardous materials abatement is involved, Pollution Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per claim is also required. A contractor's license number in Building Construction, Steel Erection and Installation, and/or Mechanical classifications must appear on the bid envelope. Liquidated damages are assessed at $100 per day for work incomplete beyond the established completion date, unless delays result from strikes, transportation delays, or other uncontrollable conditions. Progress payments are 90% of work value monthly for projects exceeding 30 days, with 10% retained until 45 days after completion. Bid prices must remain firm for 30 days after opening. Written questions are due July 21, 2026, with responses due July 28. Jobsite visits should be scheduled by contacting Clarence Bourgeois at (225) 354-6949 or Jeff Ridgel at (985) 269-4160.
