The Town of Wesson, located in Coahoma County, Mississippi, is seeking qualified engineering firms or individuals to provide comprehensive engineering services for approved FY 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project(s). The procurement is structured as a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) soliciting proposals for complete engineering services that encompass preparing plans and specifications, distributing bid documents, assisting with bid opening and tabulation, executing construction contracts, conducting pre-construction conferences, and performing construction inspection with periodic reporting. Proposals must be submitted to the Town Clerk's office by 3:00 p.m. local time on February 12, 2025, and will be evaluated on a 100-point scale consisting of three key areas: Qualifications (40 points), Experience (40 points), and Capacity for Performance (20 points). The engineering services are required to be executed in full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, and will cover the entire project lifecycle through closeout. Successful proposers must demonstrate technical expertise, proven project management capabilities, and a comprehensive understanding of CDBG project implementation requirements.

The Town of Wesson actively encourages participation from Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs), Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), and Section 3 eligible businesses, signaling a commitment to inclusive procurement practices. The contract will be awarded on a fixed price basis and is contingent upon CDBG award(s) and the removal of environmental conditions. The most advantageous proposal will be selected based on the highest overall score, with the Town reserving the right to terminate the selection process at any time. Individual contracts will be executed for each awarded project, providing flexibility in project management and scope. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the documentation, the procurement is tied to FY 2025 CDBG funding, which typically indicates available resources for municipal infrastructure or community development initiatives. The Town's approach suggests a competitive selection process designed to identify the most qualified engineering firm capable of successfully executing CDBG-funded projects.
