The Board of Supervisors of Amite County, Mississippi, is seeking sealed bids for the procurement of culvert pipes and related materials through a competitive bidding process scheduled for December 1, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. at the Courthouse in Liberty, Mississippi. The procurement encompasses three distinct product categories: American-made metal culvert pipes across all sizes, gauges, and coatings; metal culvert pipe connector bands in all sizes; and plastic or polyethylene culverts in all sizes with plastic bands. Vendors must provide per-foot cost pricing for each category, with strict requirements that all orders of one pipe or more shall be shipped F.O.B. point of delivery with freight paid by the vendor. The contract period will run from January 2026 through December 31, 2026, commencing upon award by the Board of Supervisors. Pricing must remain firm with no escalation clauses permitted, and any bid including such a clause will be automatically disqualified.

The county demonstrates a clear preference for resident contractors domiciled in Mississippi, applying reciprocal treatment consistent with non-resident bidders' home state laws regarding local contractor preferences. The Board reserves comprehensive discretion to reject any and all bids, and will not consider facsimile transmissions. No specific budget range or award value was explicitly stated in the procurement documentation. In the event of Force Majeure Events preventing the original bid opening, bids will automatically be opened on the next business day the courthouse reopens at the previously advertised time. Vendors are implicitly considered to have accepted these provisions upon bid submission. The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the specified culvert pipe and materials requirements, with no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the available documentation.
