The state of Mississippi, specifically Bolivar County, is soliciting bids for the MDEQ Agreement No. 430-2-CW-5.5 - I-59 Exit 10 Sewer Extension Project, focusing on Contract B which involves constructing a new precast wet well and sanitary sewer pump station in Pearl River County. The procurement is for a comprehensive infrastructure construction project funded in whole or in part by the ARPA Mississippi Municipality & County Water Infrastructure Grant Program. Sealed bids will be received until 11:00 AM on June 20, 2024, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for June 6, 2024, at 1:00 PM at the Dungan Engineering office located at 925 Goodyear Blvd., Picayune, Mississippi. Potential bidders can access contract documents at www.dunganeng.com, and the Pearl River County Utility Authority reserves the right to waive irregularities and reject any or all bids. The project will be subject to applicable sections of the Mississippi Code of 1972 and will require compliance with certain Uniform Guidance provisions.

The procurement encourages participation from minority and women's business enterprises, specifically inviting them to bid as prime contractors and explore subcontracting, equipment, material, and supply opportunities. While specific award values were not explicitly stated in the documentation, the project appears to be part of a broader infrastructure improvement initiative. The contract documents suggest that potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate capabilities in municipal water infrastructure construction, with a focus on wet well and pump station development. No incumbent vendors were identified in the provided materials, and the procurement appears open to qualified construction firms with experience in municipal utility infrastructure projects. The procurement is structured to promote competitive bidding while maintaining flexibility for the Pearl River County Utility Authority to select the most appropriate contractor based on technical capabilities, compliance, and potential cost-effectiveness.
