The state of Mississippi, specifically the Amite County Board of Supervisors, is soliciting sealed bids for a Local System Bridge Program (LSBP) Project No. LSBP-03(26) involving the construction of 0.132 miles of bridge and associated roadway infrastructure on McDowell Lane. The procurement is structured as a competitive bid process with sealed proposals to be received at the Amite County Courthouse in Liberty, Mississippi until 10:00 AM on October 24, 2025. The project scope encompasses comprehensive roadway construction activities, including mobilization, clearing and grubbing, borrow excavation, concrete pilings, precast concrete units, riprap installation, and associated traffic and erosion control measures. Bidders must secure project plans and proposals from the County Engineer for a non-refundable fee of $200 ($100 for plans and $100 for proposal) and must submit a certified check or bid bond representing 5% of their total bid amount. The contract duration is specified as 60 working days, with award to be made to the lowest qualified bidder based on published quantities. Evaluation will be conducted according to the latest edition of the Mississippi Standard Specifications for State Aid Road and Bridge Construction.

The procurement explicitly commits to providing minority business enterprises full opportunity to submit bids without discrimination, suggesting potential set-aside or preferential considerations for disadvantaged business entities. Bidders must demonstrate technical capability, financial stability, and compliance with state procurement regulations. The project will be constructed utilizing existing infrastructure standards, with plans and specifications available for review in multiple official locations, including the Office of the Chancery Clerk, the LSBP Engineer's office, and the Office of the State Aid Engineer in Jackson, Mississippi. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the document, the comprehensive nature of the bridge and roadway construction project suggests a substantial investment in local infrastructure development. No incumbent vendors are identified in the procurement documentation, and the project appears to represent a new infrastructure initiative for Amite County. Potential respondents should carefully review all technical specifications and be prepared to demonstrate substantial civil engineering and road construction capabilities to be considered for this contract opportunity.
