The City of Hattiesburg, Mississippi is seeking sealed bids for a construction project at Bobby L Chain Municipal Airport through an Invitation to Bid (Notice to Contractors). The project involves constructing new taxilanes for future hangar development, which includes asphalt taxilanes and associated utilities such as water, sewer, and drainage improvements. An additive bid alternate is available to replace asphalt paving with concrete paving. Sealed bids will be received electronically or by mail until 10:00 AM on Thursday, December 4, 2025, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for Thursday, November 19, 2025 at 10:00 AM at the Terminal Building. The contract time is 150 calendar days for the Base Bid, and bidders must submit a 5% bid bond and use the standard bid proposal form. All bidders must be licensed contractors under Mississippi Law and possess a current Certificate of Responsibility from the Mississippi Board of Public Contractors. Evaluation will prioritize bids based on funding maximization, first considering the Base Bid Schedule plus Additive Bid Alternate No. 1, and then the Base Bid Schedule alone.

Bidders must comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and DOT Regulation 49 CFR Part 30 regarding foreign trade restrictions. The successful bidder will be required to execute a contract with 100% Performance and 100% Payment Bonds within 10 days of award and maintain bid validity for 90 calendar days following the closing time. Minimum wage rates have been predetermined by the Secretary of Labor per the Work Hours Act of 1962. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified contractors meeting the state licensing requirements. Liquidated damages will be assessed for each calendar day of delay, and the City reserves the right to reject any and all bids and waive any informalities. The project is funded through the Mississippi Transportation Commission Strategic Multi-Modal Investment Fund (Project No. SMIFA-0031-0124), though specific budget or award value details are not provided in the available documentation.
