Willow Grove Water Association, Inc. is seeking sealed bids for a construction project in Covington County, Mississippi, involving the removal and replacement of lime feed and chlorination equipment. The procurement is specifically for infrastructure improvements to water treatment facilities, with appurtenant items included in the project scope. Sealed bids will be received at Heflin Engineering in Brandon, MS until 10:00 AM on April 18, 2025, which serves as the final submission deadline. Bidding documents are available for a non-refundable fee of $30, and all bidders must provide bid security equal to 5% of their total bid amount. The project is expected to be funded through the ARPA Rural Water Association Infrastructure Grant (RWAIG), which means bidders must comply with specific Uniform Guidance provisions and federal procurement regulations. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on technical capability, proposed approach, and overall bid responsiveness, with the intent to award to the lowest and most compliant bidder.

The procurement encourages participation from minority and women's business enterprises, either as prime contractors or potential subcontractors. The contract is subject to Mississippi Code regulations and will follow federal compliance guidelines associated with Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. Willow Grove Water Association reserves the right to reject any bids and may hold submitted bids for examination for up to 60 days after the submission deadline. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the project appears to be a targeted infrastructure improvement initiative with potential significant investment in water treatment infrastructure. The association will prioritize vendors who can demonstrate technical expertise in water treatment equipment replacement and installation, with a preference for bidders who can seamlessly integrate new lime feed and chlorination systems. Potential bidders should be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation of their qualifications, technical approach, and compliance with federal grant requirements.
