The Hancock County Board of Supervisors is seeking sealed bids for the procurement of limestone materials for the County Road Department, with bids due by 10:00 a.m. on January 21, 2025. The solicitation specifically requests dense grade limestone in multiple ASTM grades, including #7, #78, #57, #610, and B Base #825, to be delivered F.O.B. plant and loaded onto county trucks. Bidders must provide pricing per ton for each limestone grade and must meet strict material quality standards, including less than 50% wear on the Los Angeles Test and less than 15% loss in the soundness test. Each vendor must submit certified scale tickets for every load, and materials will be subject to laboratory testing and analysis. Vendors are required to disclose their distance from the North Maintenance Barn located at 18382 Highway 43, Kiln, MS 39556, and must possess a valid Mississippi Auditor's license. The contract will be valid for twelve months from bid acceptance through December 31, 2025, with the county reserving the right to request a twelve-month extension at the same pricing.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Additionally, no incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. While a specific budget range is not provided, vendors will be evaluated based on their ability to meet material specifications, proximity to the maintenance barn, and compliance with licensing requirements. The county appears to be seeking competitive pricing across multiple limestone grades, with the potential for a multi-year engagement depending on performance and pricing. Interested vendors should carefully review the complete bid package, prepare detailed pricing proposals, and ensure they can meet the technical and logistical requirements outlined in the solicitation. The procurement appears designed to establish a reliable, local source of high-quality limestone materials for Hancock County's infrastructure and road maintenance needs.
