The state and local contract opportunity is a sealed bid procurement issued by the Bolivar County Board of Supervisors in Mississippi for a State Aid Program (SAP) Project No. SAP-06(9)S. The project involves road construction and surfacing work on two specific road sites: Litton Road (Site "A") and Shaw-Skene Road (Site "B"), totaling 15.513 miles of base and surface improvements. Key roadway construction items include unclassified excavation, granular material, crushed stone, asphalt mixtures, emulsified asphalt, micro-surfacing aggregate, traffic striping, reflective markers, and various traffic signs. Sealed bids will be received until 10:00 AM on August 21, 2025, at the Bolivar County Courthouse Annex, with a contract duration of 120 working days. Bidders are required to submit a certified check or bid bond for 5% of the total bid, payable to Bolivar County and the State of Mississippi, and must submit electronic bids through www.centralbidding.com in PDF format.

The procurement demonstrates a commitment to providing equal opportunity for minority business enterprises, explicitly stating no discrimination will occur based on race, color, or national origin. The contract will be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder based on published quantities, with bid documents available for review in multiple locations including the Office of the Chancery Clerk of Bolivar County, the LSBP Engineer's office, and the Office of the State Aid Engineer in Jackson, Mississippi. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the road construction project suggests a significant infrastructure investment. Electronic bidding is mandatory, which may limit participation to vendors with appropriate technological capabilities. The project appears designed to improve local transportation infrastructure through systematic road surfacing and base improvements, potentially enhancing connectivity and transportation efficiency in Bolivar County.
