The City of Pass Christian, Mississippi, is seeking bids for the Replacement of City Fire Hydrants, a critical infrastructure project located in Harrison County. The procurement involves the removal and replacement of 20 fire hydrants, with some locations requiring additional work such as installing new isolation valves, lead pipes, and joint restraints. Bidders must possess a current commercial contractor's license from the Mississippi State Board of Contractors and submit a bid bond or certified check for 5% of their total bid amount. The bid opening is scheduled for June 17, 2025, at 6:00 P.M. in the City Hall Board Room, with electronic or sealed paper bids due to the City Clerk's office before 3:30 p.m. on that date. The City will evaluate bids based on multiple factors, including the bidder's skill, experience, facilities, and previous contract performance, with a focus on comprehensive project execution and municipal infrastructure improvement.

The procurement encourages participation from minority and women's business enterprises, with the City committed to fair bidding practices that align with home state reciprocity principles for non-resident bidders. The City will provide new fire hydrants and isolation valves, while the selected contractor will be responsible for valve boxes, concrete pads, labor, and associated incidentals. Bids may be held for up to 90 days for review, and the Notice to Proceed could be delayed an additional 90 calendar days to maintain access for adjacent businesses. Contract documents are available for purchase online or in hard copy, with no partial sets to be issued. While specific budget ranges were not disclosed, the project's scope suggests a significant municipal infrastructure investment focused on modernizing and improving the city's water system infrastructure.
