The JXN Water Small Diameter Pipe Replacement Project, solicitation number 3170036371, is a public works construction effort in Jackson, Mississippi, focused on the installation of 6-inch diameter water pipelines, gate valves, fire hydrants, and water service lines. The scope of work includes the abandonment of existing pipelines, mobilization, traffic control, SWPPP compliance, and full street-width pavement replacement and restoration across the Broadmoor, Brown, Bell Court, Pleasant Cove, and Brookside areas. The project is funded through the Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund and requires strict adherence to the Safe Drinking Water Act, specifically the American Iron and Steel requirements. The contract duration is set for 220 calendar days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages applicable for delays. Bidders must attend a mandatory pre-bid conference on August 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the Stantec office in Jackson. Sealed bids are due by September 2, 2026, at 2:00 PM local time, and can be submitted via the PlanetBids portal or delivered to the JXN Water office. Required submission materials include a bid bond for 5% of the total bid, a Certificate of Responsibility number on the envelope, and a certified power of attorney for authorized signatories. Upon award, the contractor must provide performance and payment bonds each totaling 100% of the contract amount. While the project encourages the participation of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises, the award is expected to follow a competitive sealed bidding process likely based on the lowest technically acceptable price.
