This document is a Request for Proposals (RFP) from the City of Jackson, Mississippi for Storm Water Management Division services related to their MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) permit compliance. The contract will run from July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026, with renewal options for up to four additional one-year terms upon mutual agreement. The primary services include updating storm sewer system maps, developing procedures for detecting and eliminating illicit discharges, conducting dry weather screenings, performing sampling of 120 outfall locations, screening 20% of mapped outfalls for illicit discharges, creating an industrial stormwater facilities inventory, and conducting two rounds of ambient monitoring.

The project budget is set between $250,000-$350,000 for the first year, with funding coming from the City's Fiscal Year 2025 budget. The City has experienced previous permit violations and lacks sufficient personnel and technical expertise to fully comply with MS4 permit requirements. The successful proposer will be expected to work closely with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality to develop efficient and cost-effective processes for achieving permit compliance. The RFP emphasizes the need for comprehensive documentation, investigation procedures for potential illicit discharges, and annual reporting of efforts and results.
