Warren County, Mississippi is seeking proposals for the design and implementation of audio-video systems and equipment for the new Warren County Jail Project located at 1200 HWY 80, Vicksburg. The procurement follows a two-phase selection process, with technical proposals initially due by 10:00 a.m. CST on March 7, 2025. Only technically acceptable bidders will be advanced to Phase Two, where they will sign a non-disclosure agreement and receive detailed facility information to submit final pricing. A pre-proposal Zoom meeting is scheduled for February 25, 2025, at 10:00 AM to provide additional context and answer potential vendor questions. Each proposal must include a proposal surety in the form of a Bid Bond or certified funds payable to Warren County, representing 5% of the total bid amount. Proposals must be submitted through the Central Bidding Website and must be signed by an owner or authorized company representative. The Warren County Board of Supervisors will evaluate proposals based on price and other factors, reserving the right to determine responsible proposing companies and reject any submissions.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement appears open to qualified vendors with expertise in audio-video systems and jail facility technology infrastructure. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, the requirement for a 5% bid bond suggests a potentially significant project value. Vendors will need technical capabilities to design and implement comprehensive audio-video systems for a new county jail facility, indicating a need for specialized technological expertise in correctional facility communication and monitoring systems. The two-phase procurement process, including the requirement for a non-disclosure agreement in the second phase, suggests the project involves complex technical specifications and potentially sensitive facility design considerations. Interested vendors should be prepared to demonstrate significant technical proficiency, financial stability, and the ability to integrate advanced audio-video technologies within a correctional environment.
