Eligibility of Bidders to Receive Bidding Documents
The Gas Utility District No. 2 of East Feliciana Parish is a participating member of the Louisiana Municipal Gas Authority and thus under ACT No. 176, amending R.S. 33:4546.21, Bidders must be pre-qualified before obtaining Bidding Documents. In order to be pre-qualified, Bidders submit a copy of their written Operator Qualification and Training Program to ensure compliance with the certification requirements of 49 CFR Part 192.801 et seq., as mandated by the United States Department of Transportation – Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources – Pipeline Safety Division. Specific scrutiny will be given to those individual workmen employed by the prospective bidder and their training documentation regarding the certifications of workmen to perform “Covered Tasks” on a natural gas distribution system. Prospective bidders should be able to show at least four (4) workmen, one of which must serve in a supervisory role, have been OQ certified for all covered tasks related to PE gas lines installations. Bidders who do not already have a current and active OQ program will not be qualified to obtain bidding documents.  
 
In addition, prospective bidders must submit sufficient evidence of an ongoing Drug and Alcohol Misuse Program meeting Part 199 of the PHMSA Regulations plus a list of at least three (3) references from other natural gas distribution system operators whom they have performed work, exceeding a value of $250,000 in the past five (5) years.
 
The Contract will be awarded to the lowest, responsible, responsive bidder.
