Bids must be received by 11:30 A.M. Local Time on April 22, 2026, either in person at Columbus City Hall, 523 Main Street, Columbus, MS 39701, or electronically via https://www.atwellandgentprojects.com. The procurement encompasses 101 bid items organized into 17 groups, including steel distribution poles (3 poles), overhead utility wire in various gauges and types (approximately 12,000 linear feet), distribution crossarms and supports (20 items), distribution insulators (132 items), conductor accessories (15 items), distribution switches and arresters (8 items), guying components (12 items), grounding materials (6 items), overhead transformers (7 units ranging from 15 kVA to 50 kVA), hardware (12 items), equipment brackets (3 items), underground cable wire (8,690 linear feet combined), underground conductor accessories (8 items), pad-mounted transformers (13 units), secondary pedestals (6 units), and conduit materials (3 items). All quoted prices must be firm if accepted within thirty days and must include delivery to the Columbus Light & Water Electric Warehouse at 1601 Waterway Drive, Columbus, Mississippi 39701, with the owner responsible for unloading. Bidders are not required to bid all items but must bid all items within any specific group to have their bid considered, and unusually long delivery promises may result in bid disregard. The contract will be awarded on an aggregate-low basis within each of the 17 groups to the lowest and best responsive bidder. Bid documents are available through Plan House Printing at (662) 407-0193, with technical questions directed to the project engineer, Jeffrey Atwell, at jatwell@atwellandgent.com. Addendum Number 1, dated April 16, 2026, contains three specification corrections to bid items that must be acknowledged by prospective bidders to avoid disqualification.
