This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) from the City of Jackson, Mississippi, specifically from the Stormwater Management Division of the Department of Public Works, seeking compliance assistance for the City's Phase I Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. The RFP (RFP #92688) is focused on the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Program and Ambient Monitoring Program, with proposals due on May 20, 2025, at 3:30 pm. A pre-proposal virtual conference is scheduled for May 13, 2025, at 10:00 am Central Time. The project aims to help the city complete requirements such as updating storm sewer system maps, performing outfall sampling, creating an industrial site inspection program, and conducting a full cycle of permit sampling of 120 outfalls this calendar year.

The City of Jackson is seeking consulting services to address long-standing technical challenges with implementing its MS4 permit requirements, particularly the IDDE and ambient monitoring components. The city has historically struggled with permit compliance and lacks internal technical expertise, necessitating the use of outside consultants. Proposals will be evaluated based on qualifications, experience, capacity, service delivery, project approach, project management, and cost. The city is committed to non-discrimination in contracting and promotes equal business opportunities, expecting bidders to adhere to its Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Policy. Electronic proposals can be submitted through Central Bidding, with hardcopies accepted by mail or hand delivery to the Jackson City Clerk's Office.
