The City of Tupelo, Mississippi, located in Lee County, is soliciting sealed bids for the "Coley Road Curb & Gutter" project (Bid No. 2025-017PW), a roadway improvement initiative spanning from McCullough Boulevard to Ridgeway Drive. The procurement involves comprehensive roadway infrastructure work including excavation, grading, curb and gutter installation, and asphalt implementation within existing city rights-of-way. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for Thursday, May 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Tupelo Public Works Office, requiring at least one company representative to attend. Bids will be received until 10:00 AM local time on Friday, May 30, 2025, at the City Hall Purchasing Office, with contract documents available electronically through www.tupelomsbids.com. The total contract duration is set at 120 consecutive calendar days, and the city reserves the right to reject any and all bids, ultimately awarding the contract to the lowest and best bidder. Potential bidders can obtain additional information by contacting Plan House at (662) 407-0193 for document purchase and electronic bidding inquiries.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions mentioned in the documentation. Bidders must demonstrate capability to execute the roadway infrastructure project, with the mandatory pre-bid conference serving as a critical qualification checkpoint for bid eligibility. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial municipal infrastructure investment. The bid will be publicly advertised in the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal on April 30 and May 7, 2025, ensuring broad visibility for potential contractors. Electronic and sealed physical bid submissions are permitted, providing flexibility for interested vendors. The city's procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding and maintains discretion in selecting the most advantageous proposal through the "lowest and best bidder" evaluation criteria.
