Amory Main Street, Inc. is soliciting bids for a downtown revitalization project focused on the design, fabrication, and installation of two specialized three-dimensional signage pieces in Marion County, Mississippi. The first sign is a "DOWNTOWN" stacked design measuring 6'9" tall x 9'2" long x 21" deep, incorporating "AMORY, MS" text, while the second is a "Heart Lock" design measuring 4' tall x 6' wide x 21" deep featuring a grid pattern for lock attachment. Both signs must be constructed entirely of aluminum with a multi-powder coat finish, be freestanding, and accommodate internal weighting or ground fastening. Bidders are required to submit comprehensive proposals by December 24, 2024, via email to amorymainstreet@gmail.com, including detailed itemized costs for materials, labor, and associated expenses. Submission requirements also mandate inclusion of fabrication and installation timelines, current contractor licensing, comprehensive insurance documentation, references for similar outdoor signage projects, and warranty information. Evaluation criteria will likely emphasize technical capabilities, cost-effectiveness, project implementation approach, and demonstrated experience with similar municipal signage projects.

The procurement opportunity appears to be open to all qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions. Prospective bidders must comply with federal contract requirements outlined in Code of Federal Regulations, Title 2, Part 200, Appendix II, and adhere to Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Strict conflict of interest provisions are in place, prohibiting any financial relationships between bid evaluators and potential contractors. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving custom design, fabrication, and installation of two substantial aluminum signage structures—suggests a potential investment in the mid-to-high five-figure range. Contractors interested in pursuing this opportunity should carefully review all documentation, ensure full compliance with technical specifications and federal guidelines, and prepare a comprehensive proposal that demonstrates technical expertise, cost efficiency, and ability to meet the project's aesthetic and functional requirements.
