The City of Cleveland, Mississippi, is soliciting sealed bids for the Airport North Industrial Site Flood Mitigation Project (DRA Project No. MS-7757), a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative focused on storm drainage system enhancement. The project scope includes installing new storm drainage piping, specifically 88"x54" ARCH RCP, 48" RCP, and 36" RCP, along with grading and re-shaping of a drainage canal and associated incidental work. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for Thursday, November 6, 2025, at 11:00 AM at Eley|McPherson Engineering, P.A., with attendance required for bid submission. Sealed bids will be received at Cleveland City Hall, 100 North Street, until 10:00 AM local time on November 14, 2025, when they will be publicly opened and read aloud. Bidders must possess a valid Mississippi State Contractor's License and provide bid security of five percent of the maximum total bid amount. Bidding documents are available for free examination at the engineer's office and Cleveland City Hall, with online access at cityofclevelandmsplans.com. No bid may be withdrawn within 60 calendar days after the opening date.

Bidders must be registered plan holders with valid email addresses and must submit bids in person, by mail, or electronically in PDF format. The sealed bid envelope must be clearly marked with the project name, DRA Project number, and opening date, addressed to Michelle Arbuckle, City Clerk. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, the City reserves the right to waive informalities or reject any and all bids. The project is located in Calhoun County, Mississippi, and appears to be funded through a Delta Regional Authority (DRA) grant. Although the exact budget range is not specified in the documentation, the requirement for bid security and the detailed infrastructure work suggest a significant capital investment. The procurement process emphasizes local contractor participation and comprehensive technical capabilities in municipal infrastructure development, particularly in flood mitigation and drainage system improvement.
