Lee County, Mississippi, through its Board of Supervisors, is soliciting sealed bids for a comprehensive set of road maintenance and infrastructure-related services to be executed from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, with potential for a third-year extension. The procurement encompasses multiple critical infrastructure commodities and services, including treated bridge lumber (CCA and creosote), fire ant bait, asphalt and emulsion services, limestone and gravel supply, road surface treatments (fog seal, scrub seal, slurry seal), and roadside herbicide spraying. Interested vendors must submit separate bids for each advertised item, adhering to Section 19-13-71 of the Mississippi Code. The bid opening is scheduled for September 3, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Board of Supervisors Center in Tupelo, Mississippi, with bidders able to submit proposals electronically or physically. Bid forms can be obtained through the Mississippi Commission of Budget and Accounting and Central Bidding's website, with technical support available at (225) 810-4814. The county reserves the right to reject any and all bids and waive informalities, with some pricing considerations including asphalt pricing tied to the MDOT Fuel Index.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents, vendors must comply with state procurement regulations. The solicitation appears open to a wide range of qualified vendors capable of providing the specified road maintenance and infrastructure services. Asphalt and road treatment services will be particularly significant, with pricing mechanisms that allow for market fluctuations. Although specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the services suggests a substantial multi-year contract value covering road infrastructure maintenance across Lee County. Vendors interested in participating should carefully review the complete bid documentation, noting the requirement for detailed, item-specific submissions and the potential for a 12-month bid with extension possibilities. Additional information and clarifications can be obtained by contacting the county directly at 662-432-2020.
