The Neshoba County Board of Supervisors is requesting qualifications from architectural, engineering, planning, strategic planning, and related professional service firms for a Master Professional Services Agreement with qualifications due October 15, 2026 at 12:00 PM Central Time.

This is a qualifications-based RFQ with no guaranteed minimum work assignments or compensation. The Master Agreement term runs through December 31, 2027, with potential for extension, renewal, or amendment subject to applicable law and Board action. Projects funded in whole or in part with federal grant funds are expressly excluded from the scope.

Anticipated services include architectural and engineering design, facility planning, renovations and new construction, infrastructure planning, capital improvement planning, strategic planning, feasibility studies, needs assessments, surveying, specialty services, and construction administration. Selected firms will provide services on an on-call basis; individual project fees will be negotiated following selection using lump sum, hourly rates, reimbursable expenses, or other appropriate methodologies per Mississippi law.

Selection criteria are weighted as follows: qualifications of professional personnel (25 percent), relevant experience (25 percent), past performance (20 percent), capacity and availability (15 percent), approach to County services (10 percent), and local/regional experience (5 percent). Respondents must demonstrate appropriate insurance coverage and maintain proper professional licensure in Mississippi.

Statements of Qualifications must not exceed 50 pages and must include a cover letter, firm profile, key personnel information, relevant project experience, capacity and availability statement, approach description, subconsultant information, and references. Submissions are accepted in paper form or electronically through the County's website. Fee proposals are not to be included with the RFQ submission.
