The state and local contract opportunity is a Local System Bridge Program (LSBP) project issued by the Bolivar County Board of Supervisors in Mississippi, specifically for the construction of a 0.113-mile bridge and associated road approaches on Laughlin Road. The procurement involves sealed bids for comprehensive roadway and bridge infrastructure construction, including multiple technical components such as mobilization, clearing and grubbing, excavation, concrete pilings, precast concrete slab units, and riprap installation. Bids will be received until 10:00 AM on September 10, 2025, at the Bolivar County Courthouse Annex located in Cleveland, Mississippi. The contract duration is specified as 120 working days, and bidders must submit electronic proposals through www.centralbidding.com in PDF format. Evaluation criteria will focus on identifying the lowest qualified bidder based on published quantities, with the project to be constructed according to the latest edition of Mississippi Standard Specifications for State Aid Road and Bridge Construction.

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 business entities. Bidders are required to submit a certified check or bid bond equaling 5% of their total bid, payable to both Bolivar County and the State of Mississippi. Project documentation, including plans and specifications, will be available for review at multiple locations: the Chancery Clerk's Office in 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 detailed in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the bridge and road infrastructure project suggests a potentially significant investment in local transportation infrastructure. The procurement appears open to qualified contractors capable of meeting the technical specifications and demonstrating the necessary construction expertise for bridge and roadway development.
