The Town of Friars Point, Mississippi is soliciting separate sealed or electronic bids for the construction of 2024 CDBG Sewer Improvements (CDBG No. 1201-24-188-PF-01), a wastewater infrastructure project financed through a Community Development Block Grant. The scope of work includes rehabilitation of six floating lagoon aerators, replacement of one submersible lift station equipment, and installation of one debris basket manhole. Sealed bids or electronic submissions through www.cceplanroom.com must be received by 10:00 AM on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at which time bids will be publicly opened and read aloud at the Town's board room located at 700 2nd Street, Friars Point, MS 38631. Contract documents are available for a non-refundable fee through Plan House Printing and Graphics (607 West Main Street, Tupelo, MS 38804) and online at www.cceplanroom.com. Each bid submission must be placed in a sealed envelope marked "BID FOR WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM ADDITION, CDBG NO. 1201-24-188-PF-01," and bids exceeding $50,000 must include the contractor's current certificate of responsibility number on the envelope exterior. A bid bond, certified check, bank draft, or negotiable U.S. Government bonds equal to five percent of the total bid amount must accompany each submission. The Town reserves the right to hold bids for review and investigation of bidder qualifications for up to 60 days from the bid opening date prior to contract award.

The successful bidder will be required to furnish Payment and Performance Bonds each equal to 100 percent of the contract amount and must comply with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements, Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, and the Build America, Buy America Act. The Town of Friars Point is an Equal Opportunity Employer and actively solicits bids from Minority and Woman Owned Business Enterprises for both prime contracting and subcontracting opportunities. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the procurement documents; however, the requirement for a five percent bid bond on submissions exceeding $50,000 suggests the anticipated project cost may exceed this threshold. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation. The project is financed entirely through Community Development Block Grant funds, which carries specific compliance and reporting requirements that successful bidders must meet throughout project execution.
