How to bid on the Utica Police Station for the Town of Utica

What the Town is buying

The Town of Utica, Mississippi, is seeking a single stipulated-sum bid for all labor and materials to build the Utica Police Station at 607 East Main Street in Utica.

This is a construction opportunity for a firm able to deliver the work required by the contract documents. The Town expects to award to the lowest acceptable bidder, while reserving the right to waive informalities or reject bids.

Key dates and the bid deadline

The pre-bid conference is October 27, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at 110 White Oak Street, Utica, Mississippi. Bids are due November 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at that same address, and will then be publicly opened and read aloud.

The listing gives the deadline as 3:00 p.m. ET, while the invitation to bid specifies 2:00 p.m. Do not assume these are different deadlines: confirm the controlling time in the bid documents or with the Town, and submit before the stated deadline.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity suits construction contractors qualified under Mississippi law and holding a current Certificate of Responsibility. The solicitation calls for one bid covering all work required by the contract documents.

How to get documents and submit a bid

Register for a plan room account to download the plans, specifications and addenda, or order printed sets. Registration puts you on the plan holders list. Bid documents must be purchased through the plan room; they are non-refundable, and no partial sets will be issued. Selected plan rooms may receive one electronic copy at no charge.

Submit your bid either as a PDF through the plan room or in a sealed envelope to the Town at 110 White Oak Street. For either method, include your company name, address and Certificate of Responsibility number. Electronic submissions must include a cover document titled “Bid: Utica Police Station”; mark the sealed envelope “Bid: Utica Police Station.” A submission missing the required certificate number or envelope marking will not be considered.

Use the bid form shown in the specifications. Include bid security equal to 5% of the bid, in the form of a bid bond, certified check or cashier’s check. Performance and payment bonds for the full contract amount will be required.

Practical preparation

Review the full plans, specifications, instructions and addenda before pricing the work. Check that your bid covers all required labor and materials and follows the specified bid form.

Confirm your Certificate of Responsibility is current and appears correctly in the submission. Arrange the required bid security in advance, and allow time to complete the plan room steps or deliver the sealed envelope before the confirmed deadline.

Use the pre-bid conference to clarify questions about the project. Check for addenda before submitting, and make sure your final bid reflects any updates.
