Harrison County, Mississippi is soliciting bids for the James C. Simpson, Sr. Pier Replacement Project, a FEMA-funded recovery effort related to Hurricane Zeta (Project No. PW389). The procurement is for a comprehensive pier replacement involving complete demolition of an existing pier and construction of a new pier structure, including piling, decking, lighting, and related infrastructure work. Bids will be received as a single prime contractor on a unit price basis, with sealed or electronic submissions accepted until 2:00 PM local time on January 14, 2025, at the First Judicial Courthouse in Gulfport. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for December 17, 2024, at 2:00 PM in the EMA Conference Room of the Harrison County Courthouse. Bidders with contracts exceeding $50,000 must display their Certificate of Responsibility Number on the sealed bid envelope. Bid documents are available through the Harrison County Purchasing Department and can be viewed at www.harrisoncountybids.com. The county will retain the right to hold bids for up to 60 days for review, during which time bidders cannot withdraw their submissions.

Non-resident contractors must provide documentation regarding their state's current laws on non-resident contractor treatment or a statement indicating no such law exists. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the procurement appears open to qualified contractors capable of completing the pier replacement project. Brown, Mitchell & Alexander, Inc. serves as the issuing office for this procurement. The project is federally funded through FEMA as part of Hurricane Zeta recovery efforts, suggesting potential additional compliance requirements typical of federal disaster reconstruction projects. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the pier replacement and FEMA involvement suggests a substantial project investment. Interested contractors should carefully review all bid documentation and ensure compliance with local, state, and federal procurement regulations specific to disaster recovery infrastructure projects.
