Potential bidders must comply with comprehensive technical specifications and installation requirements detailed in the project documentation.

The project is expected to be funded through the ARPA Rural Water Associations Infrastructure Grant (RWAIG), with specific compliance requirements under federal award guidelines. Minority and women's business enterprises are actively encouraged to participate both as prime contractors and potential subcontractors. The procurement must adhere to Mississippi Code of 1972 and various Uniform Guidance provisions, including specific requirements related to federal awards, cost principles, audit standards, and reporting guidelines. This project falls under the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds program and must strictly follow US Treasury compliance and reporting guidance version 3.0 from February 2022.
