Hancock County, located in Mississippi, is soliciting sealed bids for unprocessed fill dirt, unprocessed clay, and unprocessed clay gravel through its Board of Supervisors. The procurement seeks materials that must conform to Class 9 Group B specifications from the Mississippi Standard Specifications for State Aid Road and Bridge Construction, 1989 Edition. Bidders are required to provide pricing per cubic yard for three distinct delivery options: (1) materials loaded and hauled by county equipment, (2) materials loaded by pit operator and hauled by county trucks, and (3) materials loaded and hauled entirely by pit operator. Vendors must specify their precise location and distance from the North Maintenance Barn located at 18382 Highway 43 in Kiln, MS. The bid solicitation requires sealed submissions to be received by 10:00 a.m. on January 21, 2025, at the Hancock County Board of Supervisors Office in Bay St. Louis, MS, with the contract period running from bid acceptance through December 31, 2025, or until a new bid is accepted. Bid specifications are available through Brittney Johnson in the Hancock County Purchasing Department or via the county website, and all bids must be submitted on the provided official form in sealed envelopes clearly marked with the bid item and opening date.

While the solicitation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it appears to be an open competitive bidding process accessible to various vendors with appropriate material sources. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no indications of required technology integrations or complex infrastructure prerequisites. The bid documents do not specify a precise budget range or total contract value, instead focusing on per-cubic-yard pricing across different delivery configurations. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate capability to provide materials meeting the specified quality standards and ability to deliver from locations proximate to the county's maintenance facility. The procurement approach suggests the county is seeking competitive pricing and flexible delivery options for essential road and construction materials, with an emphasis on local sourcing and efficient material procurement.
