Re: Action Required from our Vendor Community - Jefferson Parish Transition to New
Financial Management System
Dear Jefferson Parish Vendor,
Jefferson Parish is pleased to announce that we are transitioning to a new Financial
Management System - an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution by Infor Public Sector-
which will replace our current financial system. The new system is scheduled to go live on July 1,
2026, and represents a significant step forward in improving efficiency, transparency, and service
across our financial and procurement operations.
As part of this transition, Jefferson Parish will soon begin a phased migration from our
legacy Financial Management System to our new ERP. During this time, certain financial and
procurement activities will be limited or temporarily paused to shift workflows and data to the new
system. Specifically, this includes the issuance of new Purchase Orders, the awarding of new
contracts, and the processing of invoices for payment. We strongly encourage vendors to plan
accordingly to minimize any disruption to your operations.
Additionally, ALL VENDORS will be REQUIRED to register in the new Infor Supplier Portal
to interact with the Parish's Purchasing Department to ensure continued eligibility for payments
and contract opportunities with the Parish. Through the new Infor self-service Supplier Portal, our
vendors will be able to better manage their profiles, respond to solicitations, track Purchase
Orders, and upload invoices, certifications, insurance documents, and licenses.
Registering in the Infor Supplier Portal is MANDATORY. To assist our vendor community,
the Parish Purchasing Department will host two Infor Supplier Portal training sessions-details
are below and in the attached flyer.
The following are noteworthy dates to prepare you for our transition to the new Infor ERP:
* May 8th - Supplier Portal Training at East Bank Regional Library (first of two training
opportunities)
* May 15th - Supplier Portal Training at General Government Building, Gretna (final training
opportunity)
* May 22nd - Final day for issuance of new Purchase Orders
* June 5th - Final day to submit invoices for payment
* June 13th - June 30th - full stop of accounting processes

We strongly encourage all vendors to submit invoices, payment requests, and any outstanding
documentation as early as possible, no later than June 5th, to help minimize potential delays.
Please be assured that every effort is being made to complete this transition as efficiently as
possible. We expect normal accounting operations to resume in early July as our Finance team
and Infor are committed to minimizing any disruption to our valued vendor partners.
If you have any questions or require assistance during this time, please contact our
Purchasing Department at 504-364-2690 or email My.Ngo@jeffparish.gov.
We appreciate your continued partnership and cooperation during this important transition.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Lee Sheng
Jefferson Parish President

Marking Lines, Letters, Legends, and Symbols. All material and legends shall conform to these
specifications and to those listed in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2009 Edition.
PREMARK/OR APPROVED EQUAL
PREFORMED THERMOPLASTIC PAVEMENT MARKING MATERIAL
DESCRIPTION: A durable, retroreflective preformed thermoplastic pavement marking material suitable
for use as roadway, intersection, commercial or private pavement delineation and markings.
This specification describes a durable, retroreflective preformed thermoplastic pavement marking
material that is applied using the propane torch method recommended by the manufacturer, to the
road surface in a molten state by mechanical means. The material must be able to be applied without
minimum requirements for ambient and road temperatures and without any preheating of the
pavement to a specific temperature. Upon cooling to normal pavement temperatures, the resulting
traffic marking shall produce a stripe of specified thickness and width that is retroreflective in dry and
wet conditions and capable of resisting deformation by traffic.
a) The markings must be a resilient white, yellow, or other color thermoplastic product with
uniformly distributed glass beads throughout the entire cross-sectional area. The markings must
be resistant to the detrimental effects of motor fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, antifreeze, etc.
Lines, legends and symbols are capable of being affixed to bituminous and/or portland cement
concrete pavements by the use of the normal heat of a propane torch. Other colors shall be
available as required.
b) The markings must be capable of conforming to pavement contours, breaks and faults through
the action of traffic at normal pavement temperatures. The markings shall have resealing
characteristics, such that it is capable of fusing with itself and previously applied thermoplastic
when heated with the torch.
c) The markings shall not have minimum ambient and road temperature requirements for
application, storage, or handling.
d) Sealer shall be required for all markings on portland cement concrete and other non-bituminous
surfaces where the marking is at street level and would be subjected to vehicular traffic. The
sealer shall be supplied in 5-gallon pails.

MANUFACTURING LOCATION, CONTROL AND ISO CERTIFICATION: The marking material must be
produced in the United States, and the manufacturer must be ISO 9001:2008 certified for design,
development and manufacturing of preformed thermoplastic pavement markings, and provide proof of
current certification.
MATERIAL: The thermoplastic material shall be homogeneously composed of pigment, binder, and glass
beads. PREHEATED MATERIAL WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. All material shall conform to the Manual of
Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2009 Edition.
Must be composed of an ester modified rosin resistant to degradation by motor fuels, lubricants etc. in
conjunction with aggregates, pigments, binders and glass beads which have been factory produced as a
finished product, and meets the requirements of the current edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices for Streets and Highways. The thermoplastic material conforms to AASHTO designation
M249, with the exception of the relevant differences due to the material being supplied in a preformed
state.
The reflective media shall be made up by the internal and external application of glass beads and shall
conform to the following requirements:
Graded Glass Beads:
a) The material must contain a minimum of thirty percent (30%) intermixed graded glass beads by
weight. The intermixed beads shall be conforming to AASHTO designation M247, with minimum
80% true spheres and minimum refractive index of 1.50.
b) The material must have factory applied coated surface beads in addition to the intermixed
beads at a rate of 1 lb. ( 10%) per 10 sq. ft. These factories applied coated surface beads shall
have a minimum of 80% true spheres, minimum refractive index of 1.50, and meet the following
gradation.

Pigments:
a) White: The material shall be manufactured with sufficient titanium dioxide pigment to meet
FHWA Docket No. FHWA-99-6190 Table 5 and Table 6 as revised and corrected.
b) Red, Blue, and Yellow: The material shall be manufactured with sufficient pigment to meet
FHWA Docket No. FHWA-99-6190 Table 5 and Table 6 as revised and corrected. The yellow
pigments must be organic and must be heavy-metal free.
c) Other Colors: The pigments must be heavy-metal free.
Heating Indicators: The top surface of the material (same side as the factory applied surface beads) shall
have regularly spaced indents. The closing of these indents during application, shall act as a visual cue
that the material has reached a molten state allowing for satisfactory adhesion and proper bead
embedment, and as a post-application visual cue that the application procedures have been followed.
Skid Resistance: The surface, with properly applied and embedded surface beads, must provide a
minimum resistance value of 45 BPN when tested according to ASTM E 303.
Thickness: The material must be supplied at a minimum thickness of 125 mils (3.15 mm).
Versatility: As an option, turn arrows and combination arrows may come without surface applied glass
beads, thus facilitating the use of those arrows as either left or right indicators, thereby reducing
inventory requirements.
Environmental Resistance: The material must be resistant to deterioration due to exposure to sunlight,
water, salt or adverse weather conditions and impervious to oil and gasoline.
Retro reflectivity: The material, when applied in accordance with manufacturer's guidelines, must
demonstrate a uniform level of sufficient nighttime retroreflection when tested in accordance to ASTM
E 1710. The applied material must have an initial minimum intensity reading of 500 mcd*m-2 *lx-1 for
white and 300 mcd*m-2 *lx-1 for yellow as measured with a Delta pavement marking retro
reflectometer.
**Note: Initial retroreflection is affected by the amount of heat applied during installation. When
ambient temperatures are such that greater amounts of heat are required for proper installation,
initial retroreflection levels may be affected
APPLICATION:
a) Asphalt: The materials shall be applied using the propane torch method recommended by the
manufacturer. The material must be able to be applied without minimum requirements for
ambient and road temperatures and without any preheating of the pavement to a specific
temperature. The material must be able to be applied without the use of a thermometer. The
pavement shall be clean, dry and free of debris. Supplier must enclose application instructions in
English and Spanish with each box/package only pertaining to an application method that does
not require preheating of the pavement to a specific temperature before application.

b) Portland Cement Concrete: The same application procedure shall be used as described under
Section 4.1. However, a compatible primer sealer shall be applied before application to assure
proper adhesion.
PACKAGING: The preformed thermoplastic markings shall be placed in protective plastic film with
cardboard stiffeners where necessary to prevent damage in transit. Linear material must be cut to a
maximum of 3' long pieces. Legends and symbols must also be supplied in flat pieces. The cartons in
which packed shall be non-returnable, shall contain a minimum of 35% post-consumer recycled
materials, shall not exceed 40" in length and 25" in width, and shall be labeled for ease of identification.
The weight of the individual carton must not exceed seventy (70) pounds. A protective film around the
box must be applied in order to protect the material from rain or premature aging.
Primer for Preformed Thermoplastic
Low VOC Sealer
5 Gal.
50 Lbs.
Covers approximately 750 sq. ft.
Thermoplastic Primer is added to the road surface prior to applying the preformed thermoplastic
material. The addition of the primer helps strengthen the bond between the thermoplastic and the
substrate, helping to eliminate early delaminating (loss of adhesion) - USE ESPECIALLY OVER CONCRETE!
On Portland Cement surfaces and aged asphalt/concrete having less than eighty percent (80%)
bituminous concrete, primer-sealer shall be applied to the area where the thermoplastic pavement
markings are to be placed. This Primer forms a continuous film and dries very quickly. All solvents shall
have evaporated from the primer/sealer prior to the application of the molten thermoplastic materials.
Bundy
FOR ADHERING PLASTIC RAISED PAVEMENT MARKERS
Bundy is non-toxic, zero V.O.C., preformed thermoplastic adhesive designed to adhere raised pavement
markers (RPMs) to the road surface. When heated with a propane heat torch, a Bundy liquefies and
fuses with the road surface and the marker providing a bond that will last throughout the marker's
lifetime. Bundys are also ideal for maintenance applications. If a marker is lost, it can be replaced by
melting a new Bundy on top of the old.
Provides exceptional bond and increased daytime visibility
* Available in 5" x 5" 125-mil squares
* Available in white, black, yellow and blue
* Installation with a propane heat torch on asphalt.
A sealer is required for installation on non-asphaltic surfaces such as brick or concrete. There are no
minimum ambient or road temperature requirements.

Super Bundy
FOR ADHERING LARGE OBJECTS ON HORIZONTAL SURFACES
Super Bundy is non-toxic, zero V.O.C. preformed thermoplastic adhesive designed for applications
where the object bonded to the road surface may be hit with extreme force. The Super Bundy has
resilient characteristics which enable it to remain flexible throughout its lifetime. Super Bundys bond
delineator posts, curbstones, turtle markers and other objects which can be bonded to the road surface
with epoxy or bitumen. Super Bundys can be installed on asphalt, brick, iron or concrete surfaces with a
propane heat torch and without the use of a sealer.
* Bonds delineator posts, curbstones, turtle markers and other objects which can be bonded to the road
surface with epoxy and bitumen.
* Available in two sizes: 2" x 39" strips and 8" x 8" pads
