Bids must be accompanied by a bid security in the form of a certified check or acceptable bid bond in an amount equal to at least five percent (5%) of the base bid.

The Jones County Board of Supervisors reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive informalities.

The attention of Bidders is directed to the State and Federal laws governing the selection and employment of labor. If you would like to visit the site, contact the Engineer to coordinate the visit. No bidder may withdraw his bid within 60 days after the date of opening thereof.
