The City of Madison, Mississippi is soliciting sealed bids for a comprehensive Labor and Equipment Rental contract covering the calendar year 2026, with bids due on Friday, November 21, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. The procurement is an "Installation Only" contract where the city will supply materials, and vendors are required to provide hourly rental rates for various labor positions and heavy equipment with operators. Labor categories include foremen, superintendents, pipe layers, and general laborers, while equipment offerings range from backhoes and trackhoes to dozers, trucks, vacuum excavators, and pipe lasers. Each equipment and labor category is structured with a standard 160-hour proposal quantity, allowing bidders to enter hourly rates and calculate total extended pricing. Bidders must submit proposals either electronically through www.centralbidding.com or physically at the Denson Robinson Public Services Building, using only the bid sheets provided by the City of Madison Public Works Department. The city will evaluate submissions based on the lowest and best proposal, reserving the right to reject any bids or waive technical irregularities in accordance with Mississippi Code Section 31-7-13.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the procurement documents. The bid appears open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the specified labor and equipment rental requirements. While no incumbent vendors were mentioned, the contract represents a potential annual opportunity valued at the aggregate of submitted hourly rates across multiple labor and equipment categories. The total contract value will depend on the unit rates proposed by the winning bidder and the actual hours of labor and equipment usage throughout the 2026 contract period. Potential bidders with questions about the electronic bidding process can contact Central Bidding at 225-810-4814. The comprehensive nature of the bid suggests the city anticipates significant infrastructure or maintenance projects requiring flexible labor and equipment resources during the contract year.
