The state and local contract opportunity is a sealed bid procurement by the Board of Supervisors of Amite County, Mississippi, for a State Aid Bridge Program (SABP) Project No. SABP-03(01). The project involves constructing 0.094 miles of bridge and associated approaches on the P.P. Wilson Road, with a contract duration of 60 working days. Deliverables include comprehensive roadway infrastructure improvements encompassing mobilization, clearing and grubbing, excavation, granular material placement, hot mix asphalt installation, guardrail implementation, seeding, and precast concrete bridge components. Bidders must secure project plans and proposals from David Cothren, County Engineer, at a cost of $100 for plans and $100 for the proposal, both non-refundable. Sealed bids will be received until 10:00 AM on December 1, 2025, at the Amite County Courthouse in Liberty, Mississippi, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder based on published quantities.

The procurement appears to have an affirmative commitment to provide equal opportunity to minority business enterprises, suggesting potential set-aside or preference considerations for disadvantaged businesses. Bidders are required to submit a certified check or bid bond for 5% of the total bid, payable to Amite County and the State of Mississippi. The project will be constructed according to the latest edition of the Mississippi Standard Specifications for State Aid Road and Bridge Construction, with project plans and specifications available for review at the Amite County Chancery Clerk's office, LSBP Engineer's office, and the State Aid Engineer's office in Jackson, Mississippi. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure project suggests a significant investment in local transportation infrastructure. Prospective bidders must demonstrate technical competence in bridge construction, roadway development, and compliance with state-level engineering specifications to be considered for the contract.
