The state of Mississippi, specifically Bolivar County, is soliciting sealed bids for a baseball field turf renovation project through Dale | Bailey Architects on behalf of the Picayune School District. The project involves partial removal of an existing grass field at Kent Kirkland Field, disconnecting the site irrigation system, removing a trench drain, and installing a new turf field with new bull pens, an under turf drainage system, and 8' fencing around the bull pens. Bidders must submit sealed bids by September 18, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. local time, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for September 9, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the school district office. Bidders are required to provide a 5% bid security and cannot withdraw bids for 90 days after opening. Qualification requirements include being properly licensed and capable of obtaining a Performance Bond, Labor and Material Payment Bond, and required insurance. Bid documents are available in paper or digital CD format through www.dalebaileyplans.com starting August 20, 2025, with mandatory registration.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the procurement documents. The project has a defined timeline, with the successful bidder expected to begin work upon receiving the Notice to Proceed and complete the project by February 14, 2026. Electronic bid submissions are optional through the website, and the Owner reserves the right to reject any and all bids and waive informalities. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the requirement for a 5% bid security suggests the project has a substantial financial scope. Bidders with questions are directed to contact biddinginfo@dalepartners.com. The procurement appears to be a standard competitive bidding process open to qualified contractors with the necessary licensing, bonding, and insurance capabilities to complete the baseball field renovation project.
