Wayne General Hospital (WGH) in Winston County, Mississippi, is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive chiller plant expansion project to be submitted by September 26, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. local time. The procurement involves supplying all necessary labor, construction, installation, and materials for a new 160-ton chiller, including the relocation of two existing chillers and replacement of an Air Handling Unit. Bidders must complete mechanical, electrical, civil, and structural work associated with the project, demonstrating comprehensive construction capabilities. Bid documents are available from the WGH Administrator or ADAMS Management Service Corp, with publication dates on August 28, 2025, and September 4, 2025. Prospective contractors must submit a Bid Bond or certified check for five percent of their total bid as security, and the successful bidder will be required to provide performance and payment bonds each set at 100 percent of the contract amount. The hospital reserves the right to evaluate bidder competence, waive minor bid defects, and accept or reject any submissions, with no bidder permitted to withdraw their bid within 60 days of the bid opening.

Non-resident bidders must adhere to specific state requirements, including attaching their home state's contractor preferences to their bid package. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified contractors capable of meeting the technical and procedural requirements. The successful bidder must execute the contract within 10 days of receiving the award or forfeit their rights to the project. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the complexity of the chiller plant expansion suggests a significant capital investment involving sophisticated mechanical and infrastructure upgrades. The project encompasses substantial mechanical systems integration, requiring bidders to demonstrate advanced technical expertise in hospital infrastructure development. Potential contractors should carefully review the bid documentation to ensure compliance with Mississippi state bidding laws and the specific technical specifications outlined in the procurement documents.
