The Jackson County Utility Authority (JCUA) is soliciting un-priced bid proposals for a Grit Classifier System to be used at the 2C-Gautier Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The procurement will follow a reverse auction process, with un-priced bid proposals due by 10:00 AM on July 22, 2025, and the electronic reverse auction scheduled for August 5, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM. The system must be capable of processing 220 gallons per minute with a 95% grit recovery rate, removing grit from domestic wastewater, and separating and dewatering grit to a high total solids content for landfill disposal. Technical specifications require the grit classifier to be constructed primarily of 304 or 316 stainless steel, with a TEFC motor (460V, 3-phase, 1 horsepower minimum). Bidders must submit a comprehensive bid form, detailed technical literature, and product specifications. The JCUA will award the contract to the lowest and best bidder, considering factors such as price, delivery time, equipment specifications, and other relevant criteria. The expected delivery timeframe is 120 days after contract award.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While no incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, the bid requires vendors to provide a grit classifier system that can integrate with existing wastewater treatment infrastructure. The system must ensure grit contains no more than 25 percent moisture and 10 percent total organic matter to meet landfill disposal requirements. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement suggests a significant investment in specialized wastewater treatment equipment. Potential bidders should have expertise in municipal wastewater treatment technologies, specifically grit classification and removal systems, and the capability to meet the stringent technical specifications outlined in the bid document.
