The Columbus Redevelopment Authority is soliciting sealed bids for electrical site package construction services necessary to complete the Parkview Development project in Columbus, Mississippi. The scope of work encompasses electrical grid improvements required for residential and commercial development on approximately 15 acres of land, with a contract duration of 270 calendar days from project commencement. Sealed bids will be accepted at Columbus City Hall (523 Main Street, Columbus, MS 39701) or electronically via www.neel-schafferplans.com until 11:00 A.M. Local Time on March 12, 2026. Bid documents are available in digital or paper format through the project website, with plan holders required to register for an account using a valid email address. Prospective bidders should contact Plan House Printing at (662) 407-0193 for assistance with website registration, electronic bidding procedures, and online document orders. Each bidder must submit a Bid Bond or Certified Check equal to five percent (5%) of the bid amount, and the successful contractor will be required to furnish Payment and Performance Bonds each equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the contract amount. Liquidated damages are assessed at $200.00 per calendar day for failure to achieve Substantial Completion, in addition to actual costs incurred by the Owner for engineering and inspection services.

Bids exceeding $50,000.00 must display a Certificate of Responsibility Number on both the bid and envelope face in compliance with Mississippi Code Sections 31-3-21 and 21-3-15, while bids of $50,000.00 or less require notation of this threshold on the envelope. The Columbus Redevelopment Authority will affirmatively ensure that disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs) and women's business enterprises (WBEs) are afforded full opportunity to submit bids without discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. The procurement is subject to the Build America, Buy America Act requirements, which may affect material sourcing and contractor qualifications. Bidders may not withdraw their bids within ninety (90) days after the bid opening date. Bid documents are non-refundable and must be purchased through the project website. No specific budget range or contract value is disclosed in the bid advertisement, though the size and scope of the electrical infrastructure improvements suggest a substantial project value warranting the bonding and compliance requirements imposed on responding contractors.
