M4486 Renovations to the Airport-EMS Station

The solicitation M4486 for renovations to the Airport-EMS Station is issued by the East Baton Rouge City Parish Purchasing Division in Louisiana under NAICS code 236220, with a response deadline of June 18, 2026. The scope includes construction work for six distinct interior and exterior areas of the station—main living area, office, kitchen, bunk room, bay interior, and bay exterior—though specific quantities, unit prices, and total contract value are not provided, indicating the bid is based on proposed costs rather than fixed-line items. Performance is to occur within East Baton Rouge Parish with delivery F.O.B. destination to the Purchasing Division at 222 St. Louis Street, Baton Rouge. The contract mandates strict compliance with federal labor and environmental regulations including the Davis-Bacon Act, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Copeland Anti-Kickback Act, requiring prevailing wages, overtime pay, workplace safety, and prohibition of wage kickbacks. Offerors must submit corporate resolutions, proof of contractor’s license, insurance certificates, and signed bid forms, with no electronic submissions accepted—only hard-copy bids delivered in person or by courier to the specified address are valid. The solicitation emphasizes Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation as a critical evaluation factor, requiring contractors to certify goals for engaging certified SEDB subcontractors and to provide documentation such as Form 1/1A and Form 2 for good faith efforts if goals are unmet. Compliance with the System for Award Management (SAM) is mandatory to ensure the offeror is not debarred or suspended, and certifications against lobbying under the Byrd Act and adherence to equal opportunity requirements under Executive Order 11246 are also required. Insurance certificates must name the City-Parish as certificate holder with thirty days’ advance notice of cancellation. The evaluation approach appears to prioritize a best-value trade-off over lowest price, given the emphasis on compliance, SEDB participation, and administrative adherence, though exact weighting is unspecified. No packaging, marking, barcoding, or MIL-STD specifications apply, and while inspection and acceptance are implied at the delivery or project site, final approval is reserved by the City-Parish Purchasing Division. Amendment No. 1 and No. 2 have been issued since the initial posting on May 27, 2026, reinforcing the need for bidders to review all updates prior
