Sealed Bids for Road Department Term Contract (February 2026 - January 2027)

The Lauderdale County Board of Supervisors, Road Department, Mississippi, has issued a solicitation (No. 3170034601) for sealed bids due by 1:00 p.m. on January 9, 2026, for a term contract running from February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2027. This contract primarily covers the supply of HDPE corrugated plastic pipes and high-performance polypropylene storm pipes for use in road and stormwater infrastructure projects within Lauderdale County. The solicitation encompasses a range of pipe diameters, with specifications guided by recognized industry standards such as ASTM (F2736, F2881, D3212, etc.) and AASHTO (M330). These pipes are intended for underground gravity-flow applications and must meet stringent material and performance criteria, including watertight, gasketed joints, and suitability for long-term burial. Bidders must submit pricing per unit length or per coupling as applicable and must comply with detailed bid submission instructions, including specific certification and vendor data forms. The contracting process is locally administered without inclusion of standard federal acquisition clauses, reflecting a county-level procurement governed by state road specifications and industry technical standards rather than federal FAR clauses. Evaluation of bids will consider price and other factors, though the solicitation does not detail an explicit award methodology or weighting of criteria. Packaging instructions are minimal, emphasizing material integrity without referencing military standards or specialized preservation protocols. Deliveries will occur FOB Meridian, MS, with acceptance overseen by the Board of Supervisors at their Meridian office. The solicitation prohibits attachments to bid forms except as noted for exceptions or certifications and requires bidders to certify compliance with various laws, including Civil Rights, Davis-Bacon, OSHA, and anti-collusion statutes. Submission can be made electronically via a state bidding portal or by sealed hard copy. No size or socioeconomic status certifications are solicited, nor are unique entity identifiers requested, reflecting a straightforward competitive bid for infrastructure materials at the county governmental level.
