For any questions related to the electronic bidding process, please call Central Bidding at
225-810-4814. Bids may also be submitted in the regular meeting room of the Walthall County
Board of Supervisors, 200 Ball Avenue, Tylertown, Mississippi 39667, on Wednesday, March 24,
2021, beginning at 10:00 AM and ending at 11:00 AM (unless extended by anti-sniping) and will
be included in the"live" reverse auction. However, anyone wishing to submit bids in that manner will
need to register with Central Bidding prior to said date. After careful consideration, the Walthall
County Board of Supervisors will officially award the bid at the next scheduled Board meeting on
Monday, April 5, 2021, or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible.
If the agency is closed for any unforeseen reason which prevents the acceptance and/or
opening of sealed or electronic bids, or prevents the live reverse auction at the advertised date and
time, all bids shall be publicly opened and read aloud on the next business day that the agency shall
be open and at the previously advertised time. All reverse auctions shall begin on the next business
day that the agency shall be open and at the previously advertised time. The agency shall not be held
responsible for the receipt of any bids for which the delivery was attempted and failed due to the
unforeseen closure of the agency. Each vendor/contractor shall be required to ensure the delivery and
receipt of its sealed and/or electronic bid by the agency prior to the new date and time of the bid
opening.
The Board expressly reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids, or any part of any
or all bids based on a lowest and best bid determination in the best interest of the County. The Board
of Supervisors may consider the following factors in determining the award: date of delivery,
service, previous performance and experience of bidder, buy back options, transportation costs, costs
of operating, quality, maintenance and warranty. The Board reserves the right to waive informalities.
The agreement shall contain an annual allocation dependency clause substantially similar to that set
forth in Section 31-7-10(8), Mississippi Code of 1972, Amended.
Please take notice pursuant to Section 19-13-17, Mississippi Code of 1972, Amended, that
the Board of Supervisors intends to pay for such equipment in installments or cash. Payment will be
made after first Monday of month following delivery, provided delivery is made on or before 25th
The County reserves the right to utilize "anti-sniping" for reverse auctions. Anti-sniping is
a tool that automatically extends the bid time for reverse auctions by five (5) minutes if a vendor
places a bid in the final five (5) minutes of the reverse suction. The anti-sniping effect will
automatically extend the reverse auction bid time any time a bid is placed in the last five (5) minutes
of the reverse auction and can auto extend the reverse auction multiple times until the bidding on the
reverse auction ends.

Proxy Bidding and Bid Increments:
"Proxy bidding" makes bidding on auctions easier and less time-consuming for buyers.
Central Auction House will automatically place a bid on your behalf for the lowest amount possible up to your maximum bid using an increment bidding system. This allows you to remain the highest bidder for the auction until your maximum bid amount has been reached, also your proxy bid will remain confidential. To activate Central Auction House's proxy bidding system, simply enter the maximum price you are willing to bid, following these steps:
-When you place a bid, you enter the maximum amount you're willing to pay for the item(s). The seller and other bidders won't know your maximum bid.
-We place bids on your behalf using the automatic bid increment amount, which is based on the current high bid. We increase your bid only as much as necessary to make sure that you remain the high bidder, up to your maximum amount.
-If another bidder places the same maximum bid amount as yours, the bidder who entered the amount first is the current winning bidder. Your maximum bid is kept confidential until it is exceeded by another bidder.
-You cannot lower a proxy bid once it is placed
-You can raise your own proxy bid: if you have a proxy bid in place for $1,000 and place another bid for $1,200 then the actual winning bid won't change but your proxy bid will be raised to $1,200
-Please note: When proxy bidding is used it may appear as if one bidder has outbid another with the exact same amount. Again, the person who submitted the amount first is considered to be the winning bidder.
Increment Bidding:
"Increment bidding" refers to the minimum amount an auction bid must be raised each time the current highest bid is surpassed. The increment is determined by the value of the most recent bid. See below:
Example:
-The current bid amount is at $150.00 USD.
-Buyer 1 places a maximum bid of $210.00 USD.
-The increment bidding system will automatically place bids on Buyer 1's behalf up to $210.00 USD.
-When Buyer 2 places a maximum bid of $200.00 USD, Buyer 1's bid will be automatically increased in the set increments (see Bid Increments Chart) until it reaches $210.00 USD.
-If Buyer 3 places a bid of $220.00 USD, they will become the highest bidder because they have surpassed Buyer 1's maximum bid.
-To continue, Buyer 1 must enter a new maximum bid, which meets or exceeds the increment established by the highest current bid amount.
-If Buyer 1 has a proxy bid of $500.00 USD, our system will automatically bid $230.00 USD for them.
The increment amount is determined based on the current high bid currently in the item. See increment chart below for more information.
