About this file
This is a Request for Qualifications issued by Copiah County, Mississippi, seeking engineering services firms or individuals to support Small Municipalities and Limited Population Counties (SMLPC) Grant Program project implementation, if funding is awarded. The scope of work encompasses preparing plans and specifications, distributing bid documents, assisting with bid opening and tabulation, executing construction contracts, conducting pre-construction conferences, and performing construction inspection with periodic reporting and payment request review throughout project closeout. Proposals must be submitted in sealed envelopes to the Office of the County Administrator by October 13, 2026, at 3:00 PM local time. The selection committee will evaluate proposals based on three factors: Qualifications (40 points), Experience (40 points), and Capacity for Performance (20 points), with proposed fees to be excluded from consideration. The County reserves the right to reject any proposals and will negotiate a fixed-price contract with the highest-ranked qualified firm, with the option to proceed to the next-ranked firm if negotiations prove unsuccessful.
Contract award is contingent upon SMLPC funding and satisfaction of applicable program requirements, with separate contracts executed for each awarded project. Pricing will not be used as an evaluation criterion during the selection process, as the County will negotiate fees following the ranking of proposals. The County encourages participation from Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs) and is an Equal Opportunity Employer. The selection committee may hold proposals for up to thirty days after the submission deadline to review qualifications and investigate assigned personnel. The County retains the right to terminate the selection process at any time.
