The Ouachita Parish Police Jury in Monroe, Louisiana, is soliciting sealed bids under bid number 26-1117015 for Type 3 wearing course asphaltic concrete, with bids due November 17, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST, submitted electronically through www.bidnetdirect.com/ouachitaparishpolicejury. The listing metadata tags the opportunity to Orleans Parish (FIPS 22071), while the attached solicitation identifies the Ouachita Parish Police Jury as issuing body.

Material must conform to the Louisiana Standard Specification for Roads and Bridges, 2000 Edition, with 12.5mm nominal maximum size aggregate. The Parish is offering two separate contracts: Contract "A" for a plant site in West Ouachita Parish and Contract "B" for a plant site in East Ouachita Parish. Parish trucks pick up product at the plant site daily, Monday through Friday. Bidders must demonstrate financial resources and available equipment to perform the contract. The Parish reserves the right to award by item or in combination and to waive defects and informalities.

Pricing is a net price per ton, excluding sales tax, because the Parish is exempt under Act No. 1029. Actual cost equals the unit price per ton multiplied by the quantity delivered during the bid period, so the source states no fixed contract value. The contract period runs January 1, 2027 through June 30, 2027, with one optional six-month renewal by mutual agreement. Bids remain effective for forty-five days after opening. Bidders must return the entire bid packet intact and acknowledge all addenda. Oral, telephonic, and telegraphic bids and modifications are not accepted.
