Marshall County Board of Supervisors, Mississippi, is soliciting sealed bids for road improvement work on South Barringer Road and West Dogwood Road (DIP No. 448), with bids due November 6, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. local time in the Board Room.

Bids must include a bid bond signed by a Licensed Mississippi Agent, or a cashier's check or certified check, equal to 5% of the total bid amount and payable to Marshall County. Plan-holders must maintain a valid email address.

Plans and the Project Manual are available for examination at Elliott & Britt Engineering, P.A., 823 North Lamar Boulevard, Oxford, Mississippi.

The county will award to the lowest and/or best bid from a responsive, responsible, and qualified bidder. It reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive irregularities. If no award is made within 45 calendar days after bid opening, all proposals may be rejected and guaranties returned, unless the lowest responsive bidder agrees in writing to a longer delay. Bids will be publicly opened and read aloud immediately after the deadline. The advertisement ran October 8 and October 15, 2026, and was posted November 2, 2026.
