The state and local contract opportunity is a construction procurement issued by the Amite County Board of Supervisors in Mississippi for a Local System Bridge Program (LSBP) project. The specific project involves constructing 0.132 miles of bridge and associated approaches on McDowell Lane, with sealed bids to be received until 10:00 AM on October 24, 2025. The comprehensive project scope includes multiple construction elements such as mobilization, clearing and grubbing, borrow excavation, concrete pilings, precast concrete units, riprap, and various traffic and erosion control materials. Bidding contractors must obtain project plans and proposals from the County Engineer at a cost of $100 per set. The contract has a defined 60-working-day timeline and will be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder based on published quantities. Project specifications will adhere to the latest edition of the Mississippi Standard Specifications for State Aid Road and Bridge Construction, with documentation on file in the Office of the Chancery Clerk of Amite County, the LSBP Engineer's office, and the Office of the State Aid Engineer in Jackson.

The procurement demonstrates a commitment to providing minority business enterprises full and fair bidding opportunities without discrimination. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond or certified check payable to Amite County and the State of Mississippi with their proposal. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the bridge and roadway construction suggests a substantial infrastructure investment. The project appears open to qualified contractors who can meet the technical specifications and provide the necessary financial guarantees. No specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, and the procurement seems designed to encourage competitive bidding from a diverse range of construction firms capable of executing a complex bridge and roadway infrastructure project within the specified 60-working-day timeline.
