Sealed Bid Submission for School District Project

The contract involves the solicitation of sealed bids by the Bay St. Louis – Waveland School District for the construction and renovation of the Bay High Baseball Locker Room. Bids are due by 2:00 pm on October 30, 2025, and must be submitted either physically in a sealed envelope or electronically through the designated website. Bidders are required to purchase bid documents from the architect’s website, register to receive addenda, and include a bid security of 5% of the base bid, which is forfeited if the bidder fails to execute the contract after award. For projects exceeding $50,000, bidders must hold a current Certificate of Responsibility from the Mississippi State Board of Public Contractors, with the certificate number clearly indicated on the bid envelope. The process emphasizes compliance with Mississippi state law, including resident contractor preferences and reciprocity for non-residents, which must be documented accordingly. The evaluation process will determine the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with no specific weighting or adjectival ratings assigned beyond responsiveness, responsibility, and price. The district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive informalities. The project scope is defined by architectural plans prepared by JS|ARCHITECT, PLLC, and the contract emphasizes standard public procurement procedures, including bid security, responsible contractor certification, and adherence to legal requirements. No detailed delivery schedules, line-item pricing, or federal clauses are incorporated, with the primary focus on compliance with state law, bid submission procedures, and ensuring fair competition.
