Jourdan River Boardwalk Construction Project

The City of Diamondhead, Mississippi, has issued an invitation for sealed bids to construct the Jourdan River Boardwalk, a project involving the development of a lighted pedestrian walkway with nature observatory platforms along the Jourdan River. The project is estimated to be within a contract size range of approximately one to five million dollars. Bidders are required to submit their proposals by December 16, 2025, at 10:00 am local time, either physically at the city’s designated address or electronically through the official bidding portal. The procurement emphasizes compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, and mandates the submission of bid security equal to 5% of the bid amount, along with performance and payment bonds each covering 100% of the contract value. The bidding documents, which include detailed plans and specifications, are accessible via the city’s official portal, and bidders must acknowledge all issued addenda and include necessary certifications, bonds, and financial statements as part of their submission. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price arrangement, with the work encompassing the full scope of constructing a fully functional, lighted boardwalk with associated observatory platforms, adhering to relevant standards and codes. While specific evaluation criteria, such as technical and price factors, are not detailed in the available excerpts, the process requires strict adherence to bid procedures, bonding requirements, and compliance with all regulatory standards. The project’s administrative oversight will be managed by the City of Diamondhead, with inspections conducted on-site to ensure work meets the specified standards. The solicitation does not specify federal contract clauses or special programmatic requirements, focusing instead on standard municipal procurement practices, bonding, and procedural compliance to facilitate the successful completion of this community infrastructure project.
