The Vicksburg Bridge Commission of Warren County, Mississippi, is soliciting sealed bids for a new shop building project located at 3207 Iowa Blvd in Vicksburg. The procurement involves constructing a 150ft x 60ft engineered steel building designed for shop maintenance work, which will include a corner break room, toilets, gravel parking and drive, and comprehensive electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire sprinkler systems. Bidders must be qualified under Mississippi State law and possess a Certificate of Responsibility from the Mississippi State Board of Public Contractors. The bid process requires a bid bond or certified check for 5% of the total bid as security, with sealed bids to be received until 10:00 a.m. local time on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for Thursday, October 30, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the project site, which is recommended but not mandatory for potential bidders. Proposals can be submitted via sealed envelope or through Central Bidding's electronic portal.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but does include a reciprocal preference law requiring non-resident bidders to submit their home state's contractor preference regulations. The Vicksburg Bridge Commission reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, determine the most advantageous bid, and waive minor informalities in the bidding process. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project is noted to exceed $50,000. The successful bidder will be required to provide proof of insurance and performance and payment bonds covering 100% of the awarded contract amount. Bidders should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to complete a comprehensive construction project involving multiple building systems and infrastructure development, with a focus on creating a functional maintenance facility for the bridge commission.
