The procurement involves constructing 0.070 miles of bridge and associated roadway infrastructure on Herschel Road, with sealed bids to be received at the Stone County Courthouse in Wiggins, Mississippi until 10:00 AM on October 6, 2025. The project encompasses multiple construction elements including mobilization, clearing and grubbing, excavation, pipe installation, concrete slab units, pile work, riprap, and various erosion control measures. The contract duration is specified as 60 working days, and the project will be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder based on published quantities. Bidders must submit a total bid cost with a 5% certified check or bid bond payable to Stone County and the State of Mississippi, and project plans and proposals can be purchased from the County Engineer for $50 each.

The contract opportunity demonstrates a commitment to providing full opportunity to minority business enterprises without discrimination, with the Board of Supervisors ensuring affirmative consideration for minority businesses in the bidding process. The project is located in a county with a population of less than 20,000, which may influence bidding dynamics. The construction will be executed according to the latest edition of the Mississippi Standard Specifications for State Aid Road and Bridge Construction. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the bridge and roadway project suggests a significant infrastructure investment. Potential bidders must demonstrate technical qualifications in road and bridge construction, with a focus on meeting the specific technical specifications and construction requirements outlined in the project documentation.
