The Town of Duck Hill, Mississippi is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for professional services related to their 2024 HOME Investment Act Partnerships Program Grant Project. The procurement seeks qualified firms to provide three primary services: legal consultation, asbestos/lead base paint inspection, and land surveying for a housing improvement project involving two substandard single-family housing units to be replaced/reconstructed and two single-family housing units to be rehabilitated within Duck Hill town limits. Specific legal services will include title opinions and deed restriction reviews, while asbestos/lead paint inspections must be conducted for all units by a Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) certified inspector. Land surveying is required only for the two reconstruction units. Proposals must be submitted by January 31, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. to the Duck Hill Town Hall. The selection process will utilize a 100-point evaluation system, with 35 points allocated to qualifications, 35 points to experience, and 30 points to capacity.

The town explicitly encourages participation from Section 3 businesses and minority and woman-owned business enterprises in this procurement. The project is federally funded through the HOME Investment Act Partnerships Program, which mandates compliance with State, HUD, and Federal regulatory requirements. Pricing for services will be structured on a per parcel/unit basis: legal services and surveying will be priced per parcel, while asbestos/lead paint inspection services will be priced per unit. While no specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the documentation, the project involves infrastructure improvements to four housing units within Duck Hill. Asbestos/lead paint inspectors must provide a valid DEQ certification number, and all proposing firms should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to meet the complex regulatory and technical requirements of this housing improvement initiative.
