The Harrison County Board of Supervisors in Mississippi is soliciting electronic and sealed bids for road equipment procurement, specifically seeking three key items: one new asphalt track paver, one new tandem axle dump body truck, and one new pavement profiler (cold milling machine). This competitive bidding opportunity will be conducted on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, with staggered bid opening times beginning at 10:00 a.m., 10:15 a.m., and 10:30 a.m. respectively for each equipment item. Electronic bids must be submitted online at www.harrisoncountybids.com prior to the opening times, while sealed bids can be filed with the Clerk of the Board or delivered in person to the Chancery Clerk's Office by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, December 1, 2025. The County will evaluate bids using a lowest and best bid determination basis, reserving the right to accept or reject any or all bids or portions thereof. Bid specification packets are available for download online, with technical questions to be directed to Plan House at 228-248-0181. The County maintains the ability to hold bids for up to thirty days from submittal date to review and investigate vendor qualifications prior to award.

While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation, the bid process appears open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications for road equipment. The County reserves the right to waive informalities in the bidding process and assumes no liability for late bid receipt. No incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges are explicitly stated in the available documentation. The procurement is structured to allow maximum flexibility, with the Board of Supervisors authorized the bid order on November 3, 2025, and the advertisement published on November 7 and November 14, 2025. In the event of Force Majeure Events preventing bid receipt on the advertised date, all bids will be received on the next business day the agency is open, with vendors required to ensure delivery by the new date and time. The competitive nature of the bidding process suggests potential variability in final contract values based on the submitted bids.
