The City of Biloxi, Mississippi is seeking sealed bids for the Parker Creek Dredging Project No. 1097, a comprehensive waterway maintenance initiative located in Harrison County. The project involves dredging 2,615 linear feet of Parkers Creek to a depth of -7 MLW, with dredged materials to be disposed of at the Harrison County Development Commission Disposal Area C-1 in the Industrial Seaway. Sealed bids are due by 4:00 p.m. on March 19, 2025, and must be submitted either in a sealed envelope or electronically through www.biloxiplans.com. The total project timeline is 217 calendar days following the Notice to Proceed. Bidders must obtain project documents from www.biloxiplans.com or the City of Biloxi Engineering Department, with physical copies available at 214 A Delauney Street. Contractors will be required to provide a 100% Payment and Performance Bond if the bid equals or exceeds $25,000, and must submit a Proposal Guaranty of 5% of the bid amount with their submission.

Bidders for this contract must meet specific qualifications, including obtaining a Certificate of Responsibility number from the Mississippi State Board of Contractors for bids of $75,000 or more. The procurement includes a preference for resident contractors and mandates the use of materials grown, produced, prepared, made, or manufactured within Mississippi, with exceptions permitted if outside materials can be secured at a lower cost or superior quality. There are no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. While a precise budget range is not explicitly stated, the requirement for a 5% Proposal Guaranty suggests the project has significant financial scope. The city emphasizes compliance with Mississippi's "Golden Rule" regarding non-resident contractors, which may impact bidder eligibility. Interested contractors should carefully review all documentation and ensure they meet the technical, financial, and regulatory requirements before submitting their proposal.
