The procurement encompasses aggregates, liquid asphalt, emulsions, cold mix, hot mix asphalt, soil cement, reclamation services, and traffic striping and markers, all to be supplied and installed in accordance with Mississippi State Aid Road and Bridge Construction standards, primarily the 2004, 2017, and 2024 editions. Bidders are required to submit unit prices for each item, including various sizes of aggregate, asphalt types, emulsions, and traffic markings, with prices to be valid for the entire contract duration. The project emphasizes strict compliance with referenced specifications, and the award will be based on the lowest and best bid, with the county reserving the right to reject any or all proposals or waive minor technicalities. The contract stipulates that all materials and workmanship must meet the detailed technical standards incorporated by reference, including special provisions such as the Roadbed Reclamation (Special Provision 907-424) and specifications for traffic striping (Section 625). Delivery locations include the Union County Central Shop, supplier’s plant (within approximately 50 miles of New Albany), and various project sites within the county, with each work order requiring completion within 45 days. Bids must be submitted by December 3, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., either via mail, hand delivery to the county office, or electronically through Central Bidding. The only required certification is the Certificate of Responsibility number, which must be included on the bid envelope or electronic submission. The process emphasizes transparency and compliance, with the county overseeing inspection and testing per the referenced standards, and no specific federal FAR clauses or set-aside designations apply.
