The Simpson County Board of Supervisors in Mississippi is soliciting sealed bids for a road resurfacing project involving 3.552 miles of RESEAL on the James Berry Road, designated as State Aid Program (SAP) Project No. SAP-64(21)S. The procurement is for comprehensive roadway improvements including unclassified excavation, multiple asphalt repair types, polymerized emulsified asphalt, seal aggregate, and traffic-related components such as thermoplastic striping, reflective markers, and traffic signs. Bids will be received until 9:30 AM on October 7th, 2025, at the Chancery Court Building in Mendenhall, Mississippi, with the contract time set at 45 working days. The award will be made to the lowest qualified bidder based on published quantities, and bidders must submit a certified check or bid bond for 5% of the total bid, payable to Simpson County and the State of Mississippi. Bidding documents are available for review at the Chancery Clerk's office, County Engineer's office, State Aid Engineer's office, and online through Simpson County's website and Central Bidding.

The procurement emphasizes a commitment to affirmative action, ensuring that minority business enterprises will have full opportunity to submit bids without discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. Proposals with qualifying letters will be considered irregular and may be disqualified. The project is specifically located in Mississippi's Tippah County, with bid documents published in the Magee Courier-Simpson County News on September 4th and 11th, 2025.

The project's technical specifications and comprehensive roadway improvement scope indicate a significant infrastructure investment for Simpson County.
