The North Lauderdale Water Association is seeking sealed bids for a construction project designated as Part 3 - Van Zyverden Road Improvements, which involves the installation of a 12-inch water main in Neshoba County, Mississippi. The procurement is a competitive bidding process for construction services, with bids due on January 14, 2026, at 11:00 AM at the owner's office, where they will be publicly opened and read aloud.

The project is anticipated to be funded by ARPA Rural Water Associations Infrastructure Grant (RWAIG) funds, and no pre-bid conference will be scheduled.

The contract procurement actively solicits minority and women's business enterprises as prime contractors and encourages their participation in subcontracting and supply relationships.

Specific federal regulations from 2 CFR Parts 25, 170, 180, and 200 must be followed, covering general provisions, pre- and post-federal award requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements. The State of Mississippi and the Local Governments and Rural Water Systems Improvements Board are not direct parties to the invitation for bids or resulting contracts. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the project involves infrastructure improvements funded through federal grant mechanisms, suggesting potential funding availability for comprehensive water main installation services.
