ULM Baseball Field Lighting

The University of Louisiana at Monroe is soliciting sealed bids for the ULM Baseball Field Lighting project, which involves upgrading the lighting at the baseball field on the main campus in Monroe, Louisiana. The project requires a Louisiana licensed Municipal and Public Works Construction contractor to provide all necessary labor, materials, and equipment. All work must be completed by February 1, 2027, with a one-year warranty on materials and labor. The contract will be awarded to the apparent lowest bidder who meets all responsibility and compliance requirements. Bids must be manually signed in ink and delivered to the Purchasing Department by October 20, 2026. A responsive bid package must include a 5% bid security, a Louisiana contractor's license number, and various certifications, including a non-solicitation and unemployment affidavit and a past criminal convictions attestation. For projects exceeding $50,000, performance and payment bonds equal to 50% of the contract price are required. Payment is processed within 30 days of a properly executed invoice, though final payment requires a Clear Lien Certificate from the Clerk Court. Failure to meet the completion deadline may result in liquidated damages of $500 per day.
