Stone County, Mississippi is soliciting sealed bids for the Stone County Correctional Facility Ventilation Alterations project located at 1420 Industrial Pk Rd in Wiggins. The procurement is a public works construction contract focused on modifying the facility's ventilation systems, with specifications prepared by Stephens Mechanical LLC. Contractors must submit bids by 10:00 A.M. on Monday, July 7, 2025, at the Stone County Courthouse, with bid documents available electronically through www.stonecountymsbids.com. Bidders are required to possess a Mississippi Certificate of Responsibility and may submit bids electronically or via sealed paper proposals. The project mandates performance and payment bonds from the successful contractor, and all bidders must comply with state procurement regulations. A pre-bid conference will be scheduled in the week prior to the bid deadline, and bidders cannot withdraw their proposals within 60 days of the opening date.

The procurement appears to have preferences for resident Mississippi contractors, with specific requirements for non-resident contractors to provide documentation about their home state's contractor treatment. Bidders must include their Certificate of Responsibility (COR) number and submit a security deposit with their proposal. The Stone County government reserves the right to waive informalities and reject any or all bids, providing flexibility in the selection process. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation, the project involves significant facility infrastructure modifications. Potential bidders should carefully review all requirements, including state-specific regulations around contractor eligibility, and prepare comprehensive proposals that demonstrate technical capability and compliance with ventilation system alteration specifications.
