The state and local contract opportunity involves a parking lot resurfacing project for the Franklin County School District in Meadville, Mississippi. The procurement is specifically for upgrading existing parking lots and driveways at Franklin County High School and Middle School campus, with sealed lump sum bids being solicited. Bidders must submit proposals in duplicate and include a bid security of 5% of the total bid amount. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 2, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the Franklin County School District office, and the final bid submission deadline is July 17, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. local time. Bidders are required to be properly licensed and capable of obtaining necessary performance and payment bonds. The project has a substantial completion date of December 1, 2025, and bid documents will be available after June 12, 2025, through online registration at www.dalebaileyplans.com. Bid proposals will remain valid for 90 days after opening, and the project owner reserves the right to reject any bids and waive informalities.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bid documents can be obtained in both paper and digital CD formats, providing flexibility for potential bidders. The project is funded directly by the School District, and electronic bid submissions are optional but available through the specified website. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, bidders must demonstrate the ability to obtain required insurance and performance bonds. The document does not provide a specific budget range or total project value, leaving the precise financial scope open to competitive bidding. Electronic bid submissions are permitted, which may broaden the pool of potential contractors. Interested parties are encouraged to review the full bid documentation and participate in the mandatory pre-bid meeting to understand the complete project requirements and expectations.
