The Picayune School District in Bolivar County, Mississippi, is soliciting construction bids for two athletic facility projects through Dale | Bailey Architects, with a bid submission deadline of October 23, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. The procurement involves two distinct but related projects: Project A entails constructing a new pre-manufactured metal hitting facility adjacent to the existing softball field, while Project B involves developing new tennis courts complete with lighting and perimeter fencing, both located at Kent Kirkland Field. Bidders are required to submit sealed bids accompanied by 5% bid security and must be properly licensed with the capability to obtain necessary insurance and performance bonds. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 14, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the school district office, where potential contractors can gather additional project details. Bid documents will be available after September 24, 2025, through www.dalebaileyplans.com, offering both digital and paper copies, with electronic bid submissions optional but available through the specified website.

The procurement allows for two separate contracts that may be awarded to the same or different contractors, indicating flexibility in vendor selection. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, bidders must demonstrate professional competency and financial stability. The project has a targeted substantial completion date of May 1, 2026, with work expected to commence immediately upon receiving the Notice to Proceed. Interested parties can contact the project team at biddinginfo@dalepartners.com for additional information, and all bid documents must be purchased as complete sets. Although the exact budget range is not specified in the documentation, the scope of constructing a hitting facility and tennis courts suggests a moderate-scale infrastructure investment for the school district. Potential bidders should be prepared to coordinate project delivery and demonstrate technical expertise in athletic facility construction.
