The Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport Authority in Jones County, Mississippi, is soliciting sealed bids for a terminal drive and supply chain road site clearing project. This procurement opportunity requires bidders to be qualified under Mississippi law and possess a Certificate of Responsibility when appropriate. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for December 15, 2025, at 9:00 A.M. in the Board Room, with sealed bids due by 10:00 A.M. on December 19, 2025.
