The Town of D'Lo, located in Tippah County, Mississippi, is soliciting engineering services through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for FY 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project implementation. The engineering services encompass comprehensive project support including preparing plans and specifications, distributing bid documents, assisting with bid opening and tabulation, facilitating construction contract execution, conducting pre-construction conferences, and performing construction inspections with periodic reporting. Proposals must be submitted to the Town Clerk's office located at P.O. Box 100, 2158 Simpson Hwy 149, D'Lo, Mississippi 39062 by 3:00 p.m. local time on February 6, 2025. The selection process will evaluate proposals based on three primary criteria: Qualifications (40 points), Experience (40 points), and Capacity for Performance (20 points). Proposals will be held for up to 30 days during the review process, and the Town reserves the right to terminate the selection at any time.

The Town demonstrates a commitment to inclusive procurement by encouraging participation from Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs), Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), and Section 3 eligible businesses. The contract will be awarded on a fixed price basis and is contingent upon CDBG award(s) and the removal of environmental conditions. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement is tied to CDBG funding, which typically supports infrastructure and community development projects. No incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure details are provided in the available documentation. The selection process emphasizes qualitative factors such as professional expertise, prior project experience, and organizational capacity to successfully execute the proposed engineering services for the municipality's infrastructure or community development initiatives.
