Taxilane Mill and Overlay

The City of Slidell, Louisiana is soliciting sealed bids under Invitation for Bids 27-B009 (Job No. 4000-72) for a taxilane mill and overlay project, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on October 29, 2026 and bids due 10:00 A.M. Central Time on November 10, 2026. Bidders must hold a Louisiana Contractor's license in Highway, Street and Bridge to be considered responsive bidders. Funding is a live risk: the project relies on Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LaDOTD) grant funds that will not be available at bidding, and the City may reject all bids and cancel the solicitation if adequate funding is not secured within 45 days after bid opening.

The scope covers removal and disposal of existing asphalt, sub-grade preparation and stabilization, installation of a fiberglass-polymer reinforcement layer, new asphalt overlay, associated earthwork, site restoration, and drainage improvements, plus pavement striping, raised pavement markers, and signage. The listed jurisdiction is Washington Parish (FIPS 22117).

Every bid must include bid security equal to 5% of the sum of the base bid and all alternates. Certificates of Liability Insurance must name the City of Slidell as "additionally insured," and an executed affidavit and attestation form must be submitted before award. The City encourages participation by Minority, Women-Owned, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise firms.

Contract documents are available from the engineer at www.civcastusa.com or through the City's Online Bidding Portal at www.centralbidding.com, and obtaining them through one of these channels is required for responsiveness. Sealed bids are due at the Office of the Finance Director, 2045 2nd Street, Suite 214, Slidell, Louisiana 70458, and will be publicly opened and read aloud on the due date. The pre-bid conference will be held at the Slidell Airport Terminal Building, 62512 Airport Road, Slidell, LA 70460.
