This is a Scope of Work document for the City of Jackson, Mississippi, outlining water system rehabilitation and improvement services. The project encompasses the evaluation, design, and construction management for water main replacement, rehabilitation, and renewal activities across the city's water distribution system. The scope includes comprehensive engineering services such as hydraulic modeling, condition assessment, design development, and construction inspection and administration. The city is seeking qualified engineering firms to provide professional services over an anticipated three-year contract period with potential for renewal options. A pre-bid conference or site visit may be scheduled to allow bidders to review project conditions and submit technical and cost proposals by specified deadlines. The contract award is anticipated to follow a competitive selection process based on qualifications, experience, and pricing proposals submitted by responding firms.

The contract will be funded through the City of Jackson's water system capital improvement budget and potentially through state or federal grants for water infrastructure enhancement. Pricing will be structured on a time-and-materials basis or fixed-fee arrangement depending on specific project phases and deliverables identified during negotiations. Preferences may be given to local, minority-owned, or women-owned business enterprises in accordance with applicable municipal procurement policies. The incumbent contractor information and current operational details related to the city's water system conditions will inform the evaluation criteria. The selected consultant will be required to maintain professional licensure, demonstrate relevant experience with similar municipal water system projects, and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations governing engineering services and public water utilities.
