The Mississippi Transportation Commission is soliciting electronic bids for a roadway improvement project in Holmes County, specifically involving the milling and overlay of approximately 12 miles of State Route 12 connecting Tchula and Lexington. The project, identified as Project No. MP-3012-26(018) / 308304301, requires contractors to submit comprehensive proposals for road rehabilitation and reconstruction. Electronic bids will be accepted through the Bid Express Service with a firm deadline of December 5, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Central Standard Time, with public bid readings to occur shortly after submission in the Construction Division Conference Room. Each bid submission must include a bid bond, cashier's check, or certified check representing 5% of the total bid amount. Contractors must adhere to the Mississippi Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and comply with all technical specifications outlined in the project documentation. Bidders are expected to demonstrate technical capability, road construction expertise, and the ability to complete a comprehensive highway improvement project within specified parameters.

The procurement opportunity includes specific provisions for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation, with MDOT affirmatively ensuring that DBEs are afforded full opportunity to submit bids without discrimination. Minimum wage rates have been predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and are subject to the Work Hours Act of 1962, which will impact labor considerations for potential contractors. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the road rehabilitation project suggests a significant infrastructure investment.

The contract will be awarded contingent upon the selected contractor satisfying DBE requirements and demonstrating compliance with all technical and regulatory standards. Prospective bidders should carefully review all project specifications, understand the technical requirements, and prepare comprehensive submissions that address the full scope of the roadway improvement project.
