The Jackson County Utility Authority is issuing an Invitation to Bidders for the PMP Polymer Feed System Improvements project (Project 142782008), a construction and equipment installation procurement. The project scope includes furnishing and installing two 330-gallon intermediate bulk containers with secondary containment, dual-contained polyvinyl chloride flexible braided tubing, schedule 80 PVC pipe, valves, and two new chemical metering pumps with secondary containment. Additional deliverables encompass connections to two existing polymer dilution units, instrumentation, controls, and all incidental appurtenances necessary for system operation. Sealed bids must be received by 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at the Jackson County Utility Authority office located at 1225 Jackson Avenue, Pascagoula, Mississippi 39567. A strongly recommended pre-bid meeting and mandatory project site visit will be conducted on Thursday, April 16, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at the same location. Bidding documents are available for review at the Authority's office and can be downloaded from Central Bidding at www.centralbidding.com, with electronic bid submission also available through that platform. Bidders must furnish proof of qualifications to perform the work and comply with applicable bid security requirements as outlined in the Instructions to Bidders.

Bids submitted in excess of $50,000.00 must comply with Section 31-3-21, Mississippi Code of 1972, and include a current Certificate of Responsibility from the State Board of Public Contractors, with the certificate number indicated on the exterior of the sealed bid envelope. Bids of $50,000 or less must be marked accordingly on the envelope exterior. The Jackson County Utility Authority actively solicits minority and women's business enterprises (MWBEs) to bid as prime contractors and encourages these entities to inquire regarding subcontracting opportunities and equipment, material, or supply needs. The Authority reserves the right to reject any and all bids, waive technicalities or informalities, solicit new bids, or select the bid deemed in the Authority's best interest. No specific budget range or award value is stated in the procurement documents; however, the threshold for Certificate of Responsibility requirements suggests anticipated project costs may exceed $50,000. No incumbent vendors or existing contractor information has been identified in the available documentation.
