The state and local contract opportunity is a procurement by Natchez Water Works for the 2024 Pump Station Improvements project located in Adams County, Mississippi. The project involves soliciting sealed bids for comprehensive wastewater infrastructure improvements, with bids due on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at 1:30 pm local time. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 9, 2025, at 10:00 am, to be held at the Natchez Water Works Wastewater Treatment Facility located at 190 River Terminal Road, Natchez, MS 39120. Bidding documents, including detailed plans and specifications, are available for free online viewing but require a non-refundable $75 fee for download. The project is anticipated to be funded through the Water Pollution Control Revolving Loan Fund (WPCRLF) program from the State of Mississippi, indicating a public infrastructure enhancement initiative. Potential bidders must obtain contract documents directly from the engineer, and any bids from entities not officially issued documents will be returned unopened.

The procurement opportunity explicitly solicits minority and women's business enterprises (MWBEs) as prime contractors and encourages their participation in subcontracting and equipment/material supply roles. Interested contractors can access additional bid assistance and information through the Mississippi Procurement Technical Assistance Program (MPTAP) and the local contract procurement center at www.mscpc.com. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, the involvement of a state revolving loan fund suggests significant capital investment in municipal water infrastructure. The project appears to focus on pump station improvements, which typically involve upgrading mechanical systems, enhancing operational efficiency, and potentially addressing aging infrastructure. Potential bidders should demonstrate technical expertise in municipal water infrastructure, familiarity with state procurement processes, and the capability to execute complex utility improvement projects.
