The Center Grove Water Association (CGWA) is seeking sealed bids for the construction of a 300 GPM water well located in Maben, Mississippi. This procurement is a public infrastructure project targeting the development of a new water well with associated controls and appurtenances. Bidders must possess a current Certificate of Responsibility from the Mississippi Board of Public Contractors and be qualified under Mississippi Law. The contract has a total duration of 365 consecutive calendar days, with liquidated damages of $250.00 assessed for each consecutive calendar day beyond the specified contract time. Bid submissions are due by 11:00 A.M. local time on May 8, 2025, and will be received at the CGWA office located at 93 Douglastown Road in Starkville, Mississippi. Contract documents are available from Mendrop Engineering Resources, LLC at two locations in Ridgeland and Batesville, with hard copies obtainable for $150.00 per set, including standard shipping and handling. Bidders are required to guarantee their bid for 60 calendar days, and the CGWA reserves the right to reject all bids and waive any informalities.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and best bid deemed most favorable to the owner. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the project appears to be focused on expanding or improving water infrastructure in Neshoba County, Mississippi. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range or award value, though the cost of contract documents and the project's scope suggest a significant municipal infrastructure investment. The project's location in Maben and association with the Center Grove Water Association indicates this is a localized water resource development initiative. The requirement for bidders to have a current Certificate of Responsibility suggests a preference for established, licensed contractors with demonstrated capability in water infrastructure construction.
