The Center Grove Water Association is seeking sealed bids for a water infrastructure construction project located in Maben, Mississippi, within Neshoba County. The procurement involves constructing a water line, generator, and an emergency tie-in to the Double Springs Water Association, along with associated appurtenances. Bidders must possess a current Certificate of Responsibility from the Mississippi Board of Public Contractors that validates their classification for the specific construction work. The contract has a defined duration of 120 consecutive calendar days, with liquidated damages of $250 per consecutive calendar day for delays beyond the specified period. Bids will be received at the Center Grove Office located at 93 Douglastown Road, Maben, MS, with a bid submission deadline of December 16, 2025. Contract documents are available for examination at two Mendrop Engineering Resources, LLC locations in Madison and Batesville, Mississippi, with hard copies obtainable for $150 per set and electronic copies available at no charge. Bidders must maintain their bid validity for 60 calendar days following the scheduled bid closing time.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must be qualified under Mississippi Law and demonstrate adequate contractor classification for the project scope. The contract documents do not indicate incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure. While no precise budget range is specified, the $150 document fee and the project's infrastructure scope suggest a substantial capital investment. The Center Grove Water Association reserves the right to reject all bids and waive any informalities, with the award to be made to the lowest and most favorable bidder. The project will involve constructing critical water infrastructure, potentially improving water service reliability and emergency response capabilities for the Maben community.
