Grenada County, Mississippi has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Debris Removal & Disposal Services in response to windstorm and tornado damages that occurred in March 2025. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to manage comprehensive debris removal and disposal operations across public rights-of-way and eligible private properties. Required services encompass multiple categories including vegetative debris removal, construction and demolition (C&D) debris collection, tree and stump removal, dangerous limb removal, and debris reduction techniques such as burning and grinding. The proposal deadline is Thursday, April 24, 2025, at 9:00 AM, with contract award scheduled for the same date during a special Board of Supervisors meeting. The initial contract term will be 120 days, with potential extensions for storm cleanup, and requires contractors to secure appropriate permits, manage debris reduction sites, and comply with environmental regulations. Contractors must provide comprehensive unit pricing for various service categories and demonstrate ability to handle multiple debris types including vegetative debris, C&D materials, white goods, and hazardous materials.

The RFP encourages participation from local residents and disadvantaged business enterprises, with specific emphasis on inclusive project execution. Contractors must provide substantial insurance coverage, including $2 million in commercial general liability and $1 million in automotive liability. Payment will be processed monthly based on reconciled tickets, with potential reimbursement from FEMA grant funds. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the county anticipates potential funding through federal emergency management channels. The contract appears designed to be flexible, allowing for adaptable response to the extensive storm damage, with potential for contract extensions based on cleanup progress and remaining debris volume. Though a precise budget range is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the debris removal services suggests a significant financial commitment from Grenada County to restore infrastructure and community functionality following the March 2025 windstorms and tornadoes.
