The Rankin County School District is seeking sealed bids for a bleacher addition project at Florence High School, located in Florence, Mississippi. The procurement involves construction services for expanding the existing football field bleachers, with bids due on June 3, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the project site, which all potential bidders are expected to attend. Bidders must submit proposals in duplicate and include a proposal security of at least 5% of the base bid amount. All bid documents are available through www.rcsdplans.com, with potential contractors required to register and purchase the complete document set. Contractors must obtain a Certificate of Responsibility from the Mississippi State Board of Contractors for bids exceeding $50,000, demonstrating compliance with the Mississippi Contractors Act of 1985. The architectural services for this project are being provided by Dean Architecture, with Kenneth Oubre serving as the primary contact for any questions.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The Rankin County School District reserves the right to waive irregularities, reject any or all bids, and maintain bid validity for up to 90 days after submission. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, the requirement for proposal security suggests a substantial project scope. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the procurement documents. The project appears to be a new construction initiative focused on improving athletic facilities at Florence High School. Potential bidders should carefully review all documentation, ensure compliance with state contractor regulations, and be prepared to demonstrate technical capability and financial stability to successfully execute the bleacher addition project.
