The Center Grove Water Association (CGWA) in Maben, Mississippi is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive water well rehabilitation project located in Neshoba County. The procurement involves constructing a new 300 GPM water well, rehabilitating an existing water well, and implementing associated infrastructure improvements, including controls, a generator, and an emergency connection to Double Springs Water Association. Bidders must be qualified under Mississippi Law and possess a current Certificate of Responsibility from the Mississippi Board of Public Contractors. The bid submission deadline is October 30, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. local time, with bids to be publicly opened and read aloud at the Center Grove Office. Contract documents are available for examination at two Mendrop Engineering Resources, LLC locations and can be obtained for a non-refundable fee of $150.00 per set, with electronic copies available at no charge. The contract time is set at 270 consecutive calendar days, and bidders must hold their bids valid for 60 calendar days after the bid closing time.

Bidders must be prepared to meet specific requirements, including the potential assessment of liquidated damages of $1,000.00 for each consecutive calendar day beyond the contract time. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the available documentation. The Center Grove Water Association reserves the right to reject all bids and waive any irregularities. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly identified, the project involves improving existing water infrastructure through well rehabilitation and new construction. Although a precise award value is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the project, including well construction, controls, generator installation, and emergency connection, suggests a significant infrastructure investment. Interested contractors should carefully review the contract documents and ensure compliance with all Mississippi state contracting regulations and the specified technical requirements.
