ULM Baseball Field Lighting

The University of Louisiana at Monroe is soliciting sealed bids for the renovation and upgrade of the lighting at the ULM Baseball Field. This project requires a Louisiana licensed Municipal and Public Works Construction contractor to provide all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to complete the upgrades by February 1, 2027. The scope includes adherence to Division 26 Electrical General Provisions and IEC 62041 standards, with a requirement that all work complies with local, state, and federal codes. The contract is awarded to the apparent lowest responsible bidder, and the contractor must provide a one-year warranty on materials and workmanship from the date of acceptance. Responsive bid packages must be manually signed in ink and include a 5% bid security, a Louisiana contractor's license number, and various attestations regarding criminal convictions and non-solicitation. For projects exceeding 50,000 dollars, performance and payment bonds equal to 50% of the contract price are required. Payment is issued 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 dollars per day. The procurement is designated as suitable for participation by Louisiana certified small entrepreneurships, including LaVet and Hudson Initiative certified businesses.
