This is a Scope of Work document issued by the City of Jackson, Mississippi, for the procurement of professional engineering services related to the Port of Jackson project. The project involves comprehensive engineering design and planning for port infrastructure improvements, including feasibility studies, preliminary engineering reports, and final design documents for port facilities and access improvements. The City seeks qualified engineering firms to provide services that encompass site assessment, hydraulic modeling, structural design, environmental compliance documentation, and construction administration support. The request for proposal (RFP) process requires interested parties to submit qualifications and proposals by the specified due date. A pre-proposal meeting or site visit may be available for interested bidders to gain familiarity with project conditions and requirements. The contract award is anticipated following a formal evaluation period, with the selected consultant expected to commence work upon execution of the professional services agreement.

Pricing for engineering services will be negotiated on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis, as determined during contract negotiations with the selected consultant. The City of Jackson anticipates funding this project through a combination of federal grants (potentially including USDOT or USACE funding), state grants, and local port authority revenues. No specific set-aside requirements or incumbent contractor information is detailed in this scope. The engineering services contract term is expected to extend across multiple project phases, potentially spanning 12 to 24 months depending on the complexity of design development and regulatory approval processes. Additional services such as value engineering, constructibility review, and construction phase support may be negotiated as optional contract modifications.
