The Town of Vaiden, Mississippi is seeking sealed bids for a Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Waterline Replacement project, designated as SRF Project No. DWI-L080009-01-0, located in Choctaw County. The procurement involves constructing approximately 20,000 feet of 6" PVC waterline and associated appurtenant items, with funding sourced from multiple federal and state programs including the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), and the Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund. Sealed bids will be received until 10:00 A.M. on Tuesday, August 19th, 2025, at the Town Hall located at 201 Mulberry Street, Vaiden, MS 39176, where they will be publicly opened and read aloud. Bidders must purchase contract documents from Plan House Printing and Graphics, with all payments being non-refundable. The project requires strict compliance with American Iron and Steel provisions, and bid documents are available for examination at multiple locations including the Town of Vaiden, Mississippi Department of Health/DWSRF, and Cook Coggin Engineers.

The procurement specifically solicits minority and women's business enterprises to bid as prime contractors and encourages them to explore subcontracting opportunities. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project is funded through multiple federal and state sources, suggesting significant investment in local water infrastructure improvements. The procurement appears to have no strict limitations on bidder qualifications beyond compliance with American Iron and Steel provisions and the ability to successfully execute the waterline replacement project. Bidders will need to demonstrate technical capability to construct approximately 20,000 feet of 6" PVC waterline and associated infrastructure components. The multi-source funding approach, including ARPA and DWSIRLF support, indicates a comprehensive approach to infrastructure development in the Vaiden community, with a focus on inclusivity and infrastructure modernization.
