The state and local contract opportunity is a procurement for a Hangar Expansion project for the Poplarville-Pearl River County Airport Authority, located in Bolivar County, Mississippi. The procurement will solicit sealed bids from qualified contractors, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for April 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM in the Airport Board Room. Bidders must be qualified under Mississippi Law and possess a Certificate of Responsibility when appropriate. Electronic bid documents are available from www.sd-wprojects.com for a non-refundable deposit of $100.00, with bids accepted electronically or in person until 10:00 AM local time on April 17, 2025. Bidders are required to include bid security equal to 5% of the bid amount in the form of a certified check, cashier's check, or bid bond from a Mississippi-licensed company. The successful bidder will be expected to execute a standard contract and provide 100% performance and payment bonds within 15 days of the formal award. The Airport Owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive informalities, and hold bids for examination for up to 60 days.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While specific details about the incumbent vendor or existing infrastructure are not provided, the bid documents suggest the project involves expanding airport facilities. The bid security requirement of 5% indicates that the project likely has a substantial budget, though an exact award value is not specified in the available documentation. The procurement process emphasizes local compliance, requiring bidders to be qualified under Mississippi Law and possess appropriate certification. The Airport Owner's retained rights to reject bids and the requirement for comprehensive performance and payment bonds suggest a rigorous selection process designed to ensure project quality and contractor reliability. The project appears to be a significant infrastructure development for the Poplarville-Pearl River County Airport Authority, with potential implications for regional transportation and economic development.
