The City of Columbus, Mississippi, is soliciting sealed bids for the East Columbus Gym Floor Replacement project, with proposals due on February 3, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. local time at Columbus City Hall. The procurement seeks a contractor to supply all labor and materials necessary to replace the existing gym floor with a new wood or synthetic floor system. The project has a defined contract time of 60 calendar days, with liquidated damages of $200 per calendar day for failing to achieve substantial completion. Bidders must submit a Bid Bond or Certified Check equal to 5% of their bid amount, and contractors must hold a valid Certificate of Responsibility Number for bids exceeding $50,000. Bid documents are available digitally or in paper copy through www.neel-schafferplans.com, with electronic submissions accepted on the same platform. Bid documents are non-refundable, and bidders cannot withdraw their proposals for 90 days after the bid opening.

The City of Columbus emphasizes opportunities for disadvantaged and women's business enterprises, ensuring full participation in the bidding process. Successful bidders must provide Payment and Performance Bonds covering 100% of the contract amount. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the requirement for bid bonds suggests the project has significant financial scope. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no explicit restrictions on the types of organizations that can submit bids beyond the Certificate of Responsibility requirement for larger contracts. The procurement appears open to qualified contractors capable of completing the gym floor replacement within the specified 60-day timeframe and meeting the technical specifications outlined in the bid documents.
