The state of Mississippi, specifically the Holmes County Board of Supervisors, is soliciting sealed bids for a State Aid Program (SAP) Project No. SAP-26(21)S involving the construction and reseal of 33.521 miles of roadway. The procurement is for comprehensive road infrastructure improvement, which includes unclassified excavation, granular material placement, crushed stone installation, hot mix asphalt base and edge repair, polymerized-emulsified asphalt application, seal aggregate work, traffic striping, reflective marker placement, and various traffic sign installations. Sealed bids will be received until 10:00 AM on October 2, 2025, at the Board of Supervisors Room in Lexington, Mississippi, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder based on published quantities. Bidders are required to submit a certified check or bid bond for 5% of the total bid, payable to Holmes County and the State of Mississippi. Project specifications can be purchased for $50.00 each from wcmplanroom.com, with electronic bid submissions also accepted through this platform. The total contract time is specified as 120 working days, and the project will be constructed according to the latest edition of the Mississippi Standard Specifications for State Aid Road and Bridge Construction.

The procurement demonstrates a commitment to minority business enterprise opportunities, with explicit statements ensuring no discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. The project is located in Humphreys County, which has a population of less than 20,000, potentially influencing small business participation. Bidders are cautioned that proposals with qualifying letters may be considered irregular and could be disqualified. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the road construction and reseal project suggests a significant infrastructure investment. The procurement appears open to qualified contractors who can meet the technical specifications and performance requirements outlined in the bid documents. Electronic bid submission through wcmplanroom.com provides accessibility for potential vendors, and the requirement of a 5% bid bond indicates a focus on contractor financial stability and commitment. The project represents a substantial infrastructure improvement initiative for the local community, targeting road quality and transportation infrastructure enhancement.
