McWilliams, Esquire Office of the Attorney General November 10, 2000 Office of the Attorney General State of Mississippi *1 Opinion No. 20oo-0666 *1 November 10, 2000 Re: Miss. Code Ann. Section 31-5-51 (Supp. 2000) *1 John H. McWilliams, Esquire *1 Attorney at Law *1 Townsend, McWilliams & Holladay, LLP *1 Post Office Box 288 *1 Drew, Mississippi 38737-0288 Dear Mr. McWilliams: *1 Attorney General Mike Moore has received your request and has referred it to me for research and reply. You represent the Sunflower County Board of Supervisors. Citing the new version of Miss. Code Ann. Section 31-5-51 (Supp. 2000), you ask whether a contract for hauling and disposing of waste tires falls within the meaning of a contract for construction, alteration, or repair of any public building or public work. Section 31-5-51 requires persons entering into such contracts with the county to have one million dollars in liability insurance. You state that your county is contemplating contracting with a solid waste tire hauler approved by the Department of Environmental Quality to haul and dispose of waste tires in Sunflower County. Your question is whether the statutory requirement of one million dollars in insurance applies to persons who contract with the county to haul and dispose waste tires. *1 We opine that a contract for hauling and disposing waste tires is not one for construction, alteration, or repair of a public work, and thus the contractor would not be required by Section 31-5-51 to have a million dollar level of insurance. Very truly yours, *1 Mike Moore *1 Attorney General *1 By: Samuel D. Habeeb *1 Special Assistant Attorney General END OF DOCUMENT
