Earnest money equal to at least 10% of the minimum offer amount must accompany each bid, submitted as a certified check drawn on a Mississippi bank and made payable to the Jackson Public School District. The selected winning bidder must work in good faith to close the sale within thirty days of award.

Site inspection is the responsibility of each bidder prior to bid submission. Bids must be submitted on the District's official bid form. Prospective bidders must contact the Office of the Chief Operations Officer at 662 South President Street, Jackson, MS 39201, or by phone at (601) 960-8700 to obtain legal descriptions, bid forms, and any addenda.
