The Copiah County Board of Supervisors is soliciting sealed bids for an erosion control project under the USDA Emergency Watershed Protection Program. The procurement specifically targets two road sites: Coor Springs Road (DSR 5322-233) and Coloneil Neill Road (DSR 5322-234). Bidders must be qualified under Mississippi Law and possess a current Certificate of Responsibility from the Mississippi Board of Public Contractors. The project requires submission of bids by August 4, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. at the county offices located at 100 Caldwell Drive, Hazlehurst, Mississippi, 39083. Electronic bid submissions will be accepted through www.copiahcountybids.org, with a contract time of 110 consecutive calendar days. Each bid must include a Certified Check or Bidder's Bond for 5% of the bid amount, payable to Copiah County. The bids will be publicly opened and read aloud, with the Board of Supervisors reserving the right to reject any or all bids and waive any bidding process informalities.

The procurement includes specific requirements for disadvantaged and women's business enterprises, with a commitment to non-discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. The successful bidder will be required to execute Performance and Payment Bonds, each covering 100% of the contract value, from a surety company licensed in Mississippi. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the requirement for a 5% bid bond suggests a substantial project investment. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are mentioned in the provided documentation. The procurement appears open to qualified contractors who can meet the Mississippi Board of Public Contractors' certification requirements and demonstrate the capability to complete the erosion control project within the specified 110-day contract period.
