The City of Vicksburg, Mississippi, is soliciting sealed bids for the comprehensive removal and legal disposal or recycling of waste materials at the former US Rubber Recycling Site located at 2000 Rubber Way. This procurement requires a mandatory pre-bid conference on October 1, 2025, at 9:00 am CST, where bidders will inspect an abandoned site with scattered debris. Bidders must possess a Certificate of Responsibility from the Mississippi State Board of Public Contractors and certification from the Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality specifically for waste tire collection, processing, hauling, or disposal activities. The bid submission deadline is October 24, 2025, at 9:00 am, with bidders required to provide a Bid Bond or Certified Check for 5% of their total bid amount. Potential contractors must demonstrate capability to legally dispose of or recycle waste materials, with bid documents available from PPM Consultants Inc. for a non-refundable $50.00 fee.

The procurement emphasizes opportunities for minority and women-owned businesses, ensuring equal participation in the bidding process. Successful bidders will be required to furnish Performance and Payment Bonds, each for 100% of the contract amount, and must comply with federal and state laws, including the Davis-Bacon Act for prevailing wage rates. For bids under $50,000, a Certificate of Responsibility is not mandatory, providing some flexibility for smaller contractors. Bidders may be asked to submit a current financial statement to demonstrate fiscal stability. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive waste removal and recycling nature of the project suggests a potentially significant contract value. The bid advertisement will be published on September 17 and 24, 2025, providing ample time for interested contractors to prepare and submit their proposals.
