The Leake County Board of Supervisors is soliciting written sealed and electronic bids for road construction materials procurement for the period of January 6, 2020 through January 4, 2021. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of road construction materials including gravel, aggregate, liquid asphalt, hot mix, cold mix, and plastic culverts for the county's Central Purchasing Department. Bid submissions are due by 9:00 AM on October 11, 2019, with the Board scheduled to award bids during its October 21, 2019 meeting, subject to approval by the Public Procurement Review Board (PPRB). The procurement is being conducted under Section 31-7-13 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, which provides the Board authority to purchase these materials. Evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, but the Board reserves the right to make purchases from any vendor that can provide materials at the most competitive pricing, even if that vendor did not submit the lowest initial bid.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or specific restrictions on bidding organizations. No incumbent vendors are identified in the available documentation, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure requiring integration. The Board maintains significant discretion in vendor selection, explicitly reserving the right to reject any and all bids and to purchase from vendors offering the most advantageous pricing. While no specific budget range or award value is provided, the procurement covers a full year of road construction material needs for Leake County. The procurement appears to be a standard annual materials contract designed to provide flexibility in securing road construction supplies at competitive market rates.
