The Town of Heidelberg, Mississippi is soliciting bids for the Heidelberg Water Well project (Project #72439), located in Humphreys County. This construction procurement seeks a contractor to complete a new water well and related infrastructure improvements. Bids will be received at the Heidelberg Town Hall, located at 114 West Park Street, with a firm submission deadline of February 4, 2025, at 6:00 PM local time, followed by an immediate public bid opening. The project is funded through a Community Development Block Grant and a Delta Regional Authority Grant, which imposes specific compliance requirements on potential contractors. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond with their proposal, and the successful contractor will be required to provide 100% performance and payment bonds. A Certificate of Responsibility is mandatory for bids exceeding $50,000 for public projects, and all submitted bids must remain valid for 60 days after the opening date. Contractors will be expected to complete the project within a 365-day duration, with potential integration challenges related to existing water infrastructure.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidding documents can be downloaded from www.allenhoshallplanroom.com, with physical copies available for examination at Allen & Hoshall's Jackson office and the Heidelberg Town Hall. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate significant technical capabilities in municipal water well construction. The Town of Heidelberg reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive informalities in the bidding process. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the project's funding through community development and regional authority grants suggests a significant investment in municipal infrastructure. Interested contractors should carefully review all grant-related requirements and ensure their technical and financial qualifications align with the project's complex municipal water infrastructure development objectives.
