The Franklin County Board of Supervisors and Office of State Aid Road Construction in Mississippi are seeking sealed bids for Project No. SAP-19(9)M, a comprehensive road maintenance project covering 0.218 miles across Sites 1-3 in Franklin County. The procurement involves multiple roadway construction and improvement activities, including mobilization, clearing and grubbing, guardrail and box apron wing removal, excavation work, concrete and steel reinforcement, and extensive erosion control measures. Bid documents are available for purchase from WGK, Inc. in Clinton, MS, with plans costing $75 and contract documents priced at $75 additionally. Sealed bids must be submitted by February 14, 2025, at 10:00 am local time to the Franklin County location at 36 Main St. East in Meadville, Mississippi. The contract duration is specified as 70 working days, and the project will be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder based on published quantities.

The procurement appears to have provisions for minority business enterprise participation, indicating potential set-aside or preferential considerations for disadvantaged businesses. The project is located in a county with a population of less than 20,000, which may influence small business or local contractor engagement. Bid documents can be obtained from multiple locations, including the Jefferson County Chancery Clerk's office, County Engineer's office, and State Aid Engineer's office in Jackson, facilitating accessibility for potential bidders. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the road maintenance project suggests a significant infrastructure investment. The procurement process emphasizes qualification-based selection, with an emphasis on technical capability and competitive pricing. Interested contractors must carefully review the project specifications and ensure compliance with all technical and administrative requirements outlined in the bid documentation.
