The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks is seeking bids for a procurement opportunity involving up to six (6) ADA compliant floating docks with kayak launches, targeting installation at four state parks: Roosevelt State Park, Percy Quin State Park, Paul B Johnson State Park, and Trace State Park. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) with RFX #3160007317 was issued on April 14, 2025, with bid submissions due by April 30, 2025, at 2:00 PM CT. The required docks must be modular, polyethylene-based systems featuring specific technical specifications, including a 10' x 13' floating dock with a kayak launch and bench, aluminum handrails, a 4' x 16' ADA gangway with transition plate, and constructed from high-density polyethylene with UV resistance and slip-resistant surfaces. The contract period is anticipated to run from June 09, 2025, to June 08, 2025, as a single-year contract with no renewals. Bidders must provide comprehensive pricing covering equipment, materials, transportation, labor, insurance, and installation, with delivery and installation expected within 30 days of contract execution.

The solicitation encourages participation from minority and women-owned businesses, suggesting potential set-aside or preference considerations for these enterprise types. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the total contract amount will be determined by the winning bidder's pricing structure. The procurement spans Tate County, Mississippi, and requires vendors to demonstrate capability in providing ADA-compliant marine infrastructure with precise engineering and installation specifications. Bidders will need to submit comprehensive proposals that address all technical requirements, with an emphasis on accessibility, durability, and quality of materials. The competitive nature of the bid suggests that evaluation criteria will likely include technical compliance, pricing, installation capabilities, and potentially the vendor's experience with similar marine infrastructure projects in state park environments.
