Westbank Expressway Median Improvements - Phase 3 Extending from Louisiana Street to Terry Parkway

The Jefferson Parish Purchasing Department is soliciting bids for Phase 3 of the Westbank Expressway Median Improvements project, extending from Louisiana Street to Terry Parkway along US Highway 90 in Louisiana. The solicitation, numbered JPP-BidEvent#52, was posted on July 22, 2026, with a strict deadline for submissions set for September 1, 2026, at 2:00 PM. All bids must be submitted electronically through the Jefferson Parish eProcurement system at www.jeffparishbids.net, and no paper or scanned copies will be accepted. The project scope includes landscape and beautification enhancements within the highway median, such as site preparation, planting, and irrigation installation, with contractors responsible for verifying geotechnical conditions independently. Required submissions include an electronic bid bond equal to 5% of the bid amount, issued through Central Auction House, and upon award, performance and payment bonds compliant with Louisiana Revised Statutes 38:2218 and 38:2219. Contractors must also complete and submit Form R-1020 to claim tax-exempt status under Louisiana law. Technical specifications and construction drawings are available for purchase at $200 from Dana Brown & Associates, while geotechnical data is provided for reference only. The award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder meeting all requirements, with emphasis on quality, diversity, and cost containment, though no formal evaluation factors, weights, or scoring criteria are specified. The parish encourages participation from small, minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses but does not mandate certification or impose scoring preferences. No contract type, estimated value, or detailed CLIN structure is provided, and payment terms, invoicing systems, or accounting data are not detailed. Contract administration oversight is handled by the Jefferson Parish Purchasing Department, with Sean Dumas as the primary purchasing contact, though no Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer’s Representative is formally designated. All work must be performed at the project site, and final acceptance is expected to occur there under the authority of Jefferson Parish Government.
