Establishes a pilot program for local governmental subdivisions to use the average bid method for public works contracts.

Louisiana SB513 establishes a pilot program allowing local governmental subdivisions or political subdivisions to use the average bid method for public works contracts. This method involves averaging all responsive bids, excluding the highest and lowest, and awarding the contract to the bidder closest to this average. If no bid meets this criterion, the contract goes to the lowest responsible bidder. The program is limited to fifteen projects per year and requires approval from the Senate and House committees on transportation, highways, and public works.
