The Clarke County Board of Supervisors is soliciting bids for a Bridge Replacement Project located on County Road 670 in Mississippi, specifically spanning Buckatunna Creek Relief. The procurement involves constructing four prestressed concrete beam span bridges with associated approaches, covering a total project length of 0.184 miles. This federal aid project, designated as CRSA-0376-00(02)LPA/109108-701000, requires bidders to submit comprehensive proposal documentation demonstrating engineering and construction capabilities. Bid submissions will be accepted until 10:00 a.m. local time on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at the Clarke County Courthouse in Quitman, Mississippi. Bidders must provide bid security in the form of a Cashier's Check, Certified Check, or Bidder's Bond representing 5% of the total bid amount. Bid documents are available for examination and purchase at three specified locations, including an online website. The project will follow Mississippi Standard Specifications for State Aid Road and Bridge Construction (2004 Edition), indicating strict adherence to established construction standards and protocols.

The procurement emphasizes opportunities for disadvantaged and women's business enterprises, with explicit commitments to non-discriminatory practices across race, color, sex, age, disability, religion, and national origin. Successful bidders will be required to provide Performance and Payment Bonds, each covering 100% of the contract amount, which demonstrates the project's financial and operational risk management requirements. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the federal aid designation and comprehensive bonding requirements suggest a substantial infrastructure investment. The project is geographically situated in Clay County and the St. Martin Census Designated Place (CDP), potentially offering localized economic opportunities for regional contractors. No incumbent vendors are specified in the documentation, indicating this may be a new infrastructure development initiative. The procurement process appears designed to encourage competitive bidding while maintaining rigorous technical and financial qualification standards for potential contractors.
