South Winona Water Association is seeking sealed bids for Water System Improvements construction services, to be received at the Montgomery County Courthouse Board Room located at 614 Summit Street in Winona, Mississippi, with a bid submission deadline of February 18, 2025, at 10:00 local time. The procurement is specifically for water infrastructure enhancement in Marshall County, with bid documents available electronically through www.neel-schafferplans.com and in paper format upon request. Interested contractors can review bid schedules at the Mississippi Procurement Technical Assistance Program in Jackson and the Northeast MS Procurement Center in Columbus. Bidders must examine plans, specifications, and contract documents at the Montgomery County Courthouse and Neel-Schaffer, Inc. in West Point, MS. The project will be funded wholly or partially through the ARPA Rural Water Associations Infrastructure Grant (RWAIG), which suggests specific compliance requirements and potential federal oversight.

The procurement encourages participation from minority and women's business enterprises, who are invited to bid as prime contractors and explore subcontracting opportunities. Bidders must comply with multiple regulatory frameworks, including Mississippi Code of 1972, Uniform Guidance provisions, Universal Identifier & System for Award Management requirements, and Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension guidelines. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the involvement of ARPA funding indicates potential significant investment in water system infrastructure. The procurement process appears open to qualified contractors capable of meeting complex federal and state regulatory standards. The advertisement will be published on January 16 and 23, 2025, providing potential bidders ample time to prepare comprehensive proposals that meet the technical and regulatory requirements of this water system improvement project.
