The Jasper County Board of Supervisors is seeking bids for a comprehensive road and bridge construction project in Mississippi, specifically targeting 0.639 miles of County Road 8. The project involves three distinct bridge replacements and associated approaches over Tallahoma Creek Slough and Tallahoma Creek, with precise structural specifications for each bridge segment. Bridge "A" requires four 40-linear-foot precast concrete spans, Bridge "B" needs three 31-linear-foot precast concrete spans, and Bridge "C" demands a complex configuration of five 40-linear-foot spans, one 80-linear-foot span, and one 40-linear-foot prestressed concrete beam span. Sealed proposals must be submitted to the Chancery Clerk located at 27 West 8th Avenue, Bay Springs, Mississippi by 10:00 a.m. local time on Monday, December 15, 2025. Bidders have the option to submit electronically by contacting the Engineer of Record, Lawrence R. Clark, P.E., through www.clarkengineersprojects.com, with contract documents available for examination or purchase at Chas. N. Clark Associates in Laurel, Mississippi.

The procurement opportunity emphasizes commitment to affirmative action, ensuring disadvantaged and women's business enterprises have full opportunity to submit bids without discrimination based on race, color, sex, age, disability, religion, or national origin. Each bid must include a bid security deposit of five percent of the total bid amount, which can be provided as a cashier's check, certified check, solvent bank check, or surety bond. The successful bidder will be required to furnish Performance and Payment Bonds, each equal to 100% of the contract amount. Proposals cannot be withdrawn for 90 days after submission, and all work must conform to the Mississippi Standard Specifications for State Aid Road and Bridge Construction, 2024 Edition. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the bridge replacement project suggests a significant infrastructure investment. Potential bidders should carefully review all documentation and be prepared to demonstrate technical expertise in bridge construction and road infrastructure development.
