The Kosciusko-Attala County Airport Board is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive airport improvement project located in Attala County, Mississippi. The procurement involves constructing a new 50'x50' hangar, concrete taxilane construction, and associated site earthwork and storm drainage systems. The project is funded through two federal aviation program project numbers: AIP Project No. 3-28-0039-024-2025 and BIL Project No. 3-28-0039-025-2025. Sealed bids will be received until April 11, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. at Kosciusko City Hall, located at 222 East Washington Street, Kosciusko, MS 39090. Bid documents can be obtained from Gardner Engineering, P.A. for a non-refundable fee of $100.00, and no pre-bid conference is scheduled. Bidders must submit a bid guaranty of 5% of the total bid amount, which can be a certified check or bid bond. The project evaluation will include assessment of compliance with federal requirements and demonstration of meeting established goals.

The procurement includes a specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal of 10.37%, requiring bidders to demonstrate good faith efforts to meet this target. The project is subject to numerous federal regulations, including Davis-Bacon Act wage provisions, Executive Order 11246, Buy American preferences, equal employment opportunity requirements, debarment restrictions, and drug-free workplace guidelines. Prospective bidders must be prepared to comply with these complex federal contracting standards. The airport board reserves the right to reject any or all bids and may hold submitted bids for evaluation up to 60 days. While a specific total project budget is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the airport improvements and the involvement of federal aviation funding suggest a significant capital investment. Successful contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability, financial stability, and a strong commitment to meeting federal contracting requirements and DBE participation goals.
