The Lowndes County Board of Supervisors in Mississippi is seeking sealed bids for various construction and maintenance materials to be procured for a six-month period from July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. The procurement focuses on multiple materials including hot mix asphalt, limestone, corrugated steel and polyethylene culverts, herbicides, cold mix asphalt, limestone SC-1 surface mix, corrugated aluminized culvert, and wash gravel. All bids must be submitted by 10:30 a.m. on June 25, 2025, to the Lowndes County Chancery Clerk's Office, with bid specifications available from the Lowndes County Purchasing Office located at 1121 Main Street in Columbus, Mississippi. The county will evaluate bids based on the "best overall bid" criteria, with materials required to meet Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) specifications. Bidders are instructed to clearly mark sealed envelopes with the specific material being bid, and the county reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids received.

While the procurement documents do not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidding organizations, the bid process appears open to qualified vendors capable of meeting MDOT specifications. The county has not disclosed incumbent vendors or current contractors for these materials. Pricing for most materials will be quoted per ton, with options for different delivery configurations such as FOB batch plant and FOB job site. Though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement covers a comprehensive set of infrastructure and road maintenance materials for a six-month period. The broad scope of materials suggests a significant infrastructure investment by Lowndes County, with potential award values likely to be substantial given the variety of construction and maintenance materials being solicited.
