The City of Olive Branch, Mississippi, located in DeSoto County, is seeking sealed bids for the construction of Fire Station No. 6, a new one-story, 4-bay facility. This public procurement requires potential bidders to submit comprehensive proposals for a complete fire station construction project, with specific technical and administrative requirements. A mandatory Pre-Bid Conference is scheduled for May 8, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. at City Hall, where project scope and schedule will be discussed. Bidders must submit a Bidder's Bond equal to 5% of their total bid price and possess a valid Certificate of Responsibility for public projects exceeding $50,000. Electronic and sealed bids are due simultaneously by 2:00 P.M. local time on June 9, 2025, with submission guidelines requiring clear project name and certification details on sealed envelopes. Evaluation criteria will likely include technical capability, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with municipal construction standards.

The procurement appears open to qualified construction contractors with appropriate licensing and bonding capabilities. Successful bidders must execute Performance and Payment Bonds, each covering 100% of the contract amount, from a surety company licensed in Mississippi. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, standard municipal procurement practices often encourage diverse vendor participation. The City of Olive Branch reserves the right to reject any or all bids and select the proposal most favorable to municipal interests. Bid submissions remain valid for 60 days after opening, providing ample time for municipal review. Bid documents can be obtained through the Purchasing Manager or downloaded from Central Bidding's website. Though a precise budget range is not specified, the complexity of constructing a new four-bay fire station suggests a substantial capital investment typical of municipal infrastructure projects.
