10721-20241203145047 Tchula

The City of Tchula, Mississippi is seeking sealed proposals from qualified firms to provide comprehensive services for its 2023 HOME Investment Act Partnerships Program Grant Project (1235-M23-SG-280-359). The procurement specifically requires three distinct service categories: legal consultation, environmental inspection, and land surveying for a housing improvement project within Tchula city limits. The project scope includes replacing or reconstructing two substandard single-family housing units, replacing one mobile home, and rehabilitating two additional single-family housing units. Proposing firms must demonstrate expertise in legal services (including title opinions and deed restrictions), environmental inspections (asbestos and lead-based paint assessment), and land surveying for reconstruction and mobile home replacement sites. The evaluation process will utilize a 100-point system, with 35 points allocated to qualifications, 35 points to experience, and 30 points to organizational capacity. Proposals must be submitted by December 20, 2023, at 5:00 p.m., with environmental inspectors required to hold valid certification from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).

The procurement encourages participation from Section 3 businesses, which typically provide opportunities for low-income residents and businesses in the project area. Asbestos and lead-based paint inspectors must possess current, valid certification numbers from the state environmental regulatory agency. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documents, the project is funded through the HOME Investment Act Partnerships Program. No incumbent vendors are identified in the provided documentation. The project appears to prioritize local economic involvement and housing improvement, with a focus on replacing substandard housing units and rehabilitating existing structures. Proposing firms should prepare comprehensive submissions that clearly demonstrate their technical capabilities, relevant experience in housing improvement projects, and ability to meet the specific service requirements across legal, environmental, and surveying domains.
