Two Vermilion elementary restroom jobs have contractor deadlines this month

The Vermilion Parish School System has posted separate contractor bid calendars for restroom additions at Meaux Elementary in Abbeville and Kaplan Elementary in Kaplan. The School Board’s Sept. 16 minutes record authorization to advertise both jobs.

The mandatory pre-bid meetings are Wednesday, Oct. 21:

• Kaplan Elementary, Bid No. 2026.791: 10 a.m. at 608 N. Eleazar Ave. in Kaplan.
• Meaux Elementary, Bid No. 2026.790: 11:30 a.m. at 12419 LA-696 in Abbeville.

The notices set separate Nov. 5 bid openings at the Charles Campbell Curriculum Annex Center board room, 216 S. Jefferson St. in Abbeville: 1 p.m. for Meaux and 1:30 p.m. for Kaplan. They also identify Central Bidding as an electronic submission route.

Both notices require bid security equal to five percent of the base bid and alternates. Firms submitting bids of $50,000 or more must meet the stated Louisiana building-construction licensing requirement.

Contractors should retrieve the controlling project documents through the school system’s bids page or Central Bidding before preparing a bid. Those materials govern addenda, deadlines and submission requirements.

The notices identify a procurement calendar. They do not name a selected contractor, project cost, contract award or construction schedule.
