The Jefferson Davis County Board of Supervisors is soliciting sealed bids for road district commodities for calendar year 2025, with proposals due by 1:00 PM on January 3, 2025, at the county administration building located at 2426 Pearl Avenue in Prentiss, Mississippi. The procurement seeks suppliers for various road construction and maintenance materials, including hot mix asphalt (both contractor's mix and SC-1), cold mix asphalt with specific gradation requirements, liquid asphalt (AC-10 and CRS-2), stone materials such as pit run aggregate, limestone, and rip rap, as well as plastic and metal culverts. Bid opening is scheduled for 9:15 AM on January 6, 2025. Pricing for hot mix and liquid asphalt will be subject to monthly adjustments based on the Mississippi Department of Transportation fuel adjustment index. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and best bid in accordance with Section 31-7-13 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, with the Board retaining the right to reject any or all bids and waive informalities. All materials must meet or exceed state bid specifications.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. While no incumbent vendors are directly identified in the documentation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified suppliers capable of meeting the detailed material specifications for road district supplies. The bid does not specify a precise budget range or total contract value, though it covers a comprehensive list of road construction materials for the entire calendar year. Potential bidders should carefully review the full specification document to ensure compliance with all technical requirements and understand the monthly pricing adjustment mechanism for asphalt and liquid asphalt materials. The procurement process follows standard Mississippi public procurement guidelines, with the Board of Supervisors maintaining significant discretion in vendor selection based on the lowest and best bid criteria.
