Collection, Disposal and Billing inside Warren County, outside the municipal limits
of the City of Vicksburg.
 
            Warren County intends to award this project to the Contractor whose proposal is deemed to be the most advantageous to the residents of Warren County.  It is also our intent to award a Primary Contractor and an Alternate Contractor.  If the Primary Contractor fails to perform any of the tasks and duties required by the agreement, the County reserves the right to terminate that contract and move forward with an award to the Alternate Contractor for the remainder of the term.
 
                Sealed proposals will be received at the Warren County Purchasing Department, 913 Jackson St, Vicksburg, MS 39183 until 2:00 p.m. local time on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.

                Proposals must include a Surety Bond to Warren County in the amount of five percent (5) % of the extended total of bid. Once a contract is awarded, the successful firm must furnish a Performance Bond.  Attorneys-in-fact who sign Bonds must file with each bond a certified and effective dated copy of their power of attorney. Proof of Insurance will also be required.
 
                A Pre-Proposal Conference for this project will be held at the Warren County Board of Supervisors Bldg.
