Submitted bids must remain firm for sixty (60) days from the opening date, and bidders are required to comply with standard licensing requirements and professional standards for municipal infrastructure projects.

The procurement includes a Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (SEDBE) program with a 10% contract amount goal, specifically designed to promote participation from qualified minority and disadvantaged business entities. Bid documents are exclusively available through Central Bidding (www.centralbidding.com), with electronic bids accepted exclusively through their platform. All subcontractors are expected to adhere to state licensing laws, and the City and Parish reserve the right to reject any bids for just cause.
