LeBlanc Marine, L.L.C. v. State of Louisiana, Division of Administration, Office of Facility Planning and Control

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana held that a public entity may not impose bid requirements that are more restrictive than those mandated by the Louisiana Public Bid Law. Accordingly, the State’s bid instructions that limited proof of authority to two of the three statutory methods were invalid, and the lower courts’ declaratory and injunctive relief in favor of LeBlanc Marine were reversed. The petition was dismissed with prejudice.
