The City of Bay St. Louis in Hancock County, Mississippi, is seeking sealed bids for the Main Drain Debris Removal project, a comprehensive drainage infrastructure improvement initiative. The procurement involves bank stabilization, sediment and debris removal from main drainage channels, and drainage culvert replacement. Prospective bidders must submit bids by November 12, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time, with submissions accepted either physically at the City Hall Conference Room or online through www.baystlouis-msbids.com. Bidding documents are available through the website, with plans and specifications accessible via hard copy or digital download. All bidders are required to provide a bid security of 5% of the total bid price, either as a Certified Check or a Bidder's Bond from a licensed surety company. The project mandates strict compliance with Federal, State, and Local Regulations and Codes, and the successful contractor will need to furnish Performance and Payment Bonds, each for 100% of the contract amount. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive informalities.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, potential bidders must demonstrate technical capability and financial stability to execute the drainage infrastructure project. The advertisement does not list incumbent vendors or specify existing technological infrastructure requiring integration. Bidders will need to examine project documents at the issuing offices, including the City of Bay St. Louis and Chiniche Engineering & Surveying, during specified business hours. The bid documents will be non-refundable and require online registration. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the requirement for bid security and performance bonds suggests a significant project investment. Interested contractors should carefully review all project specifications and ensure complete compliance with the bidding requirements outlined in the procurement documents.
