The three (3) pages of specifications and the mandatory bid sheet can be obtained at the

Office of the Chancery Clerk in Charleston, Mississippi or at her address of P. O. Drawer 350,

Charleston, MS 38921. Bids will be rejected if the bids are not submitted on the Clay Gravel

Bids -Tallahatchie County- 2026 (bid sheet).

The distance or proximity of location of granular material pit to a paved MS State

The Board reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to further consider said bids

on an item by item basis. Alternate bids may be accepted for situations where the low bidder is

unable or unwilling to supply the materials or supplies ordered. Contractor will perform in

under the contract, and the County reserves the right to go to either of the above geographic

locations and go to the next lowest and best bidder, at any time during the year, without further

notification to the contractor, based upon visual observation of clay gavel not meeting the

specifications. This visual decision will be supported by test(s) to be performed by County

Engineer as soon as possible; but, not prior to securing of gravel from either of the above

geographic locations. At this time, the vendor will be notified in writing of the decision that the

clay gravel does not actually meet the specifications and advertisements.

of Transportation (MDOT) and MDOT approved personnel for the purpose of split sampling in

accordance with American Association State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)

as T 2 of Standard Practices for Sampling Aggregates.

The County Engineer's test results of any non-compliant granular materials stand until

such time as split sampling can occur in accordance with T 2.

The County shall make a final determination by decision of the County Engineer as to

the samples compliance.

If Vendor has more than two (2) non-compliant samples, as tested by the County

Engineer, all source sampling thereafter will be taken at the Vendor's expense.

Failure of the above forthcoming tests to meet the required specifications (as stated in

said advertisement and three (3) bid sheets) for the second time within 2024, under the above

procedures, may result in the termination of the contract between the Vendor and the County

at the election of the Tallahatchie County Board of Supervisors.
