This procurement will be subject to all applicable sections of the Mississippi Code of 1972, Annotated. Specifically, Mississippi Code of 1972, Section 31-5-37 (2012), as amended by Senate Bill 2528 (2013), “All public works projects utilizing funds received by state or local governmental entities resulting from a federally declared disaster or a spill of national significance, including damages, penalties, fines or supplemental projects paid or financed by responsible parties pursuant to a court order, negotiated settlement, or other instrument, including under any law distributing such fines and penalties including the federal Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities and
Revived Economy of the Gulf Coast Act of 2011 (R.E.S.T.O.R.E.), the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 or the Federal Water Pollution Control Act or similar legislation, shall be subject to the hiring policies established by this section.” This law requires contractors submitting bids for public works projects utilizing specified funding to certify that they will comply with the provisions of this section if they are awarded the contract. This certification must be provided with the bid. The provisions of this law require that the contractor shall submit to the Mississippi Department of Employment Security and the City of Long Beach an employment plan within seven (7) calendar days after the award of the contract by the governing authority. This law also provides that from the date the contract award is received until ten (10) business days after the receipt of the employment plan by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security, the contractor and any subcontractor shall not hire any personnel to fill vacant positions necessary for the public works project except residents of the state of Mississippi who are to be verified by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security and/or those qualified individuals who are submitted by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. Failure of the Contractor to comply with these provisions shall be cause by the governing agency to vacate the contract.

Awarding public contracts to non-resident Bidders will be on the same basis as the non-resident bidder’s state awards contracts to Mississippi Contractors bidding under similar circumstances. In order to ensure that Mississippi’s so-called Golden Rule is followed, state law requires a non-resident bidder to attach to his bid a copy of his resident state’s current laws pertaining to such state’s treatment of non-resident contractors.

Bids may be held by the City of Long Beach, Mississippi, for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of the opening of bids for the purpose of reviewing the bids and investigating the qualifications of Bidders, prior to awarding of the Contract.
