Sealed Bids Requested for Soil Stabilization Services (Jan June 2026, with Optional Extension)

The contract involves a solicitation by Rankin County for sealed bids to provide soil stabilization services during a specified period from January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026, with an option for a six-month extension contingent upon mutual agreement. The procurement is governed under Mississippi law, specifically Mississippi Code Section 31-7-13, which mandates competitive bidding procedures for public purchases. Bidders must submit their proposals by November 26, 2025, either in sealed paper form at the designated county address or electronically via the Central Bidding platform, with bids opening publicly on December 1, 2025. The project value is estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000, though detailed pricing schedules are not included in the publicly available documents and are to be obtained from the county’s purchasing office. Participation extends beyond Rankin County to certain municipalities within the county—such as Brandon, Florence, Flowood, Pearl, Richland, Pelahatchie, and Puckett—who may participate if they enter into an approved Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with the county, which must be sanctioned by the Mississippi Attorney General. Bids are evaluated primarily on price, with the county reserving the right to reject any or all submissions. The contract emphasizes the optional extension, the legal authority under which the county operates, and the participation terms, but does not specify detailed technical specifications, inspection, packaging, marking, or certification requirements within the provided documents. Additional technical or contractual details, including specifications and bid forms, are accessible through the county’s designated contacts or the online bidding portal.
