The Northeast Mississippi Regional Water Supply District is seeking sealed bids for the purchase of lime for a potable water treatment plant with an 18 MGD capacity located in Fulton, Mississippi, within Jasper County. The procurement process requires vendors to submit bids that meet specific technical specifications, including ANSI/NSF Standard 60 approval and precise chemical composition requirements for lime. Bids must be submitted by December 11, 2024, at 11 AM Central Time, with a public bid opening scheduled for the same day at the treatment plant location. The District will review and potentially approve bids at its Board meeting on December 19, 2024. Successful bidders must commit to delivering lime within 5 days of notification, exclusively during plant operating hours (Monday-Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM), and maintain a constant bid price from January 1 to June 30, 2025. The District maintains the right to reject any bids and will not recognize price modifications, including fuel surcharges.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The District reserves the right to accept alternate bids if the primary supplier cannot provide the specified product, suggesting flexibility in vendor selection. Invoicing terms indicate that invoices received after the third Wednesday of the month will be processed for payment in the subsequent month. While no specific award value or budget range was disclosed, the procurement is for a regional water supply district's critical water treatment lime supply. The procurement appears to be structured as an ongoing supply contract with a six-month pricing commitment, indicating a potentially significant and recurring purchasing opportunity for the selected vendor. The technical specifications and strict delivery requirements suggest the District is seeking a reliable, high-quality lime supplier capable of meeting precise water treatment standards.
