The Board of Supervisors of Franklin County, Mississippi, is soliciting sealed bids for various bridge materials, lumber, and related supplies for the contract period from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026. The procurement opportunity covers a comprehensive range of infrastructure materials, including treated lumber, poles, and piling that must meet American Wood Preservers Association (AWPA) Standards, concrete bridge slabs, crushed stone, rip-rap, culverts, and culvert materials in multiple sizes and coatings. Bidders are required to provide detailed treatment documentation upon delivery, including post-treatment borings, treatment reports, penetration results, and assay reports. The sealed bids will be received at the Courthouse in Meadville, Mississippi, with a strict submission deadline of 10:00 a.m. on Monday, December 15, 2025. Evaluation criteria will include pricing for both treated and untreated materials, delivery timeframes, and pricing options such as FOB Plant or FOB County with freight calculated per loaded road mile. Additionally, the procurement includes equipment and operator hire services and pile driver services for bridge construction, with bids accepted on hourly, daily, or weekly bases.

The Board reserves the right to inspect materials before and after treatment, either directly or through a third-party provider, and maintains the discretion to reject any or all bids. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder types are mentioned, the procurement will award contracts to the lowest and/or most competitive bidders. No incumbent vendors are listed in the documentation, and no specific budget range or award value is provided. The procurement covers services for Franklin County, with potential integration requirements for various bridge construction and infrastructure improvement projects. Bidders must be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation, including specific treatment specifications for materials like creosote-treated lumber, and demonstrate capabilities in supplying and potentially installing bridge-related materials and equipment. If the County Agency is closed on the bid acceptance date, bids will be opened on the next available business day at the same advertised time, ensuring flexibility in the procurement process.
