Batesville Forcemain and Boring Project Sealed Bid Solicitation

The Batesville Forcemain and Boring Project involves constructing approximately 1,764 linear feet of 10-inch SDR-21 PVC sewer forcemain and installing 300 linear feet of roadway waterline boring with carrier pipe within Batesville, Mississippi. Sealed bids are solicited by the City of Batesville, with a submission deadline of October 7, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. local time, to be delivered to Batesville City Hall. The project must be completed within 90 consecutive calendar days, with liquidated damages of $200 per day for delays beyond the deadline. Bidders must be qualified under Mississippi law, holding a current Certificate of Responsibility issued by the Mississippi Board of Public Contractors, and the award will be made to the lowest, responsible, and responsive bidder. The procurement process emphasizes adherence to bid requirements, responsibility, and price, with the city reserving the right to reject any or all bids and waive informalities. The contractual framework is governed primarily by Mississippi state law and local regulations, with oversight from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). While no explicit federal FAR clauses or standard government contract forms are incorporated, key provisions include mandatory bidder qualification, a 60-day bid validity period, and a 90-day performance window. The project funding is expected to come from local and state sources, and the contract emphasizes encouraging disadvantaged business enterprises to participate. Supporting documents, including plans and specifications, are available at Batesville City Hall and Mendrop Engineering Resources, LLC, but no detailed attachments, exhibits, or specific contractual clauses related to inspection, packaging, or invoicing are explicitly included in the current documentation. Overall, the project scope, timeline, and qualification requirements are clearly defined, but detailed technical specifications and contractual procedures are contained within the referenced plans and specifications files.
