The Town of Crenshaw, located in Pike County, Mississippi, is soliciting proposals for engineering services related to Fiscal Year 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project(s). Qualified engineering firms or individuals are invited to submit comprehensive proposals that include preparing project cost estimates, developing plans and specifications, distributing bid documents, assisting with bid openings, executing construction contracts, holding pre-construction conferences, and performing construction inspections. Proposals must be submitted to the Town Clerk by 4 p.m. on April 22, 2025, with one original and six copies in a sealed envelope marked "Proposal for 2025 CDBG Engineering Services". The evaluation of proposals will be conducted using a point-based system: Qualifications will be assessed at 40 points, Experience at 40 points, and Capacity for Performance at 20 points. Prospective bidders are expected to demonstrate technical expertise in municipal engineering and CDBG project implementation, with a focus on supporting infrastructure and community development initiatives.

The Town of Crenshaw actively encourages submissions from Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs), Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), and Section 3 eligible businesses, aligning with federal housing and urban development guidelines. The contract will be awarded on a fixed-price basis to the most advantageous proposal, contingent upon CDBG award and removal of environmental conditions. The Town reserves the right to reject any proposals and may hold proposals for up to 30 days for review and qualification investigation. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement is tied to CDBG funding, which typically supports community infrastructure and development projects benefiting lower-income residents. The ultimate goal of this procurement is to support job training and employment opportunities through strategic engineering services that address critical community infrastructure needs.
