LAC 34:V.311. Pre-Bid Conferences

A. Pre-bid conferences may be conducted to explain the procurement requirements. They shall be announced to all prospective bidders known to have received an invitation to bid and shall be advertised and/or electronically posted if the estimated cost exceeds the defined maximum value for small purchases established by executive order of the governor and attendance is mandatory. The conference should be held long enough after the invitation to bid has been issued to allow bidders to become familiar with it, but sufficiently before bid opening to allow consideration of the conference results in preparing their bids. Nothing stated at the pre-bid conference shall change the invitation to bid unless a change is made by written addenda as provided in §305.
