The Madison County Wastewater Authority has established specific requirements for bidder participation, including mandatory documentation for non-resident contractors.

The contract will be publicly opened and read aloud at the specified time, with the Authority reserving the right to waive bidding informalities and reject any or all submissions. The contract documents will be published in the Clarion-Ledger on July 9 and 16, 2025, with bids considered at the next regular meeting within 30 days of receipt.
