Construction (Public Works) Less than $1,000
A Department may work with a contractor to perform repairs and maintenance or minor construction projects of a non-recurring nature, which is less than $1,000 without Purchasing being involved. However, Purchasing is responsible for ensuring that the dollar limit is followed and that the said purchase is in fact non-recurring.
Construction (Public Works) from $1,001 up to $99,999
Projects that fall within the dollar range noted above require that Purchasing solicit formal quotes from all known responsible contractors. The formal quote shall require that the contractor provide bid and performance, and formal award of the work is done via a written contract. Any project that is estimated to exceed $50,000 requires that all contractors be appropriately licensed by the Louisiana Contractors License Board.
